Sany introduces new tower crane

Sany introduces new tower crane

Chinese machinery giant Sany Group recently unveiled the latest generation of its tower crane. With this, the group once again demonstrates its strong expertise in construction equipment, reports Chinadaily. Tower cranes are one of three main products of Sany’s heavy lifting equipment business. In addition, the company manufactures mobile truck cranes and crawler cranes. Tower cranes operate at great heights and their development also represents the progress of China’s crane industry. Machinery and components in the construction sector must be awarded a CCC certificate in order for products to be exported to China or manufactured locally.

According to Sany, the latest generation of tower cranes incorporates 15 patented technologies and has undergone improvements in safety, ease of operation and control. Work at airy heights can now be controlled from the ground, and with the help of artificial intelligence, multiple cranes connect to ensure safe working and prevent collisions. Technicians can remotely identify and fix specific problems. Yu Hongfu, director of Sany Group and also chairman of Sany Heavy Machinery, plans to further expand the heavy lifting equipment business, especially tower cranes, in the future. Industry experts noted an increased demand for tower cranes for high-rise buildings in recent years. The entire construction industry is also moving toward sustainable construction, industrialization and intelligent control, experts said.

Sany said it has invested around US$148 billion in a crane factory in Ningxiang, Hunan province. The production facility has an annual capacity of 8,000 tower cranes and 70 percent of the manufacturing is done by robots. In the future, Sany plans to further expand research and development to make the tower crane business a growth driver within the company.

Revision of the CCC Certification Regulations for Automotive Tires

At the beginning of September 2022 the remote conference of the TC14 technical expert group for automotive tires was held in China. The discussion topic was the revision and implementation of CCC certification regulations and regulations for laboratory testing in the certification processes. Problems observed in testing for annual inspections were also discussed. Tires require CCC certification to be approved for import and use in China.

The following subject matters were discussed:

1. Revision of the implementation rules:

It was announced that the implementation rules will be revised according to the new version of the standard for car tires.

2. Plan for CCC certification implementation after GB standards implementation:

According to the implementation rules, the new version of the GB Standard GB 9743 “car tires” and GB 9744 “truck tires” standards (in which rolling resistance and skid resistance of tires are newly added) will be implemented into the CCC certification process after they are published. The principle of division of certificate units remains unchanged, tire sample information must be added to certificates as an appendix. The specific content of the implementation plan will be published in a timely manner in accordance with the revision process of national standards.

3. Random sampling during the annual inspections:

There is a possibility that certain factors in the tire production process may occasionally cause a very small number of products to fail tests. To avoid the influence of random factors, products not qualified at the first Follow-Up (FU) inspection are allowed to be tested again in a second FU inspection. If the tests are passed during the second inspection, the annual FU inspection counts as passed. If the tests are not passed during the second inspection, the annual FU inspection will be counted as failed.

4. Simultaneous marking of TUBELESS and TUBETYPE on the side surface of tires:

TUBELESS shall stand as a marking for tires mounted on tubeless rims without tubes.

TUBETYPE is to indicate that the tire is installed on the inner tube rim, its bead structure is correspondingly different, and that if the tire does not fit the rim, there may be potential safety hazards during use. THEREFORE, TUBELESS AND TUBETYPE SHOULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED ON THE SIDEWALL AT THE SAME TIME.

5. Marking imperial and metric tire specifications on the side surface of tires:

Tire specifications are the identification of tire size characteristics. Of these, some are listed metrically, and others are listed according to the Anglo-American system of measurement. To avoid confusion for users, sidewalls are not intended to list both metric and Anglo-American tire specifications, in part to avoid problems with market enforcement inspections.

Announcement No 13 on 708 New Standards

In Announcement No 13 of 2022, the Government of the People’s Republic of China announces the publication of 708 national GB standards (known as guobiao, or GB’s) and revised national standards. These newly enacted standards cover a wide range of areas.

Among these areas are:

• tightening in the area of explosion-proof products
• tightening in the area of fire hazards for electrical products
• tightening in the area of food safety related to current efforts to improve documentation and quality of imported food products
• in the automotive sector, improved testing procedures for the energy consumption and range of electric vehicles and information security technology and security requirements for data processing in the automotive industry.

Products must undergo product tests in the course of CCC certification, for which GB standards form the basis. CCC certification is necessary for a product, if it can be assigned to any of the product groups previously defined by P.R. China for certification and if there are corresponding GB standards.

New GB Standard GB/T12350-2022 for Low-Power Motors

Low-power motors are subject to strict regulatory guidelines in many countries. This applies to China as well, where the GB standard GB/T12350-2009 was defining the relevant technical requirements for this product group since 2009. However, a new version GB/T12350-2022 was published on April 15, 2022. This new standard, which is merely recommendatory in nature like its predecessor, officially came into force on January 1, 2022.

New requirements are included in almost every section of the document and even include basic definitions as well as the general scope of the standard. For example, new motor types including servo motors, are now covered by this standard. The specification as a “stand-alone power source”, on the other hand, has been deleted from the definition.

The most important innovations of the revised standard certainly refer to its test requirements, which, depending on the classification of the motor type, have been expanded and/or adapted. This includes for example, additional flammability tests for non-metallic components, dielectric strength tests, modified requirements for any plugs and markings if applicable, and much more. The official overview of all technical changes alone covers 12 pages, parts of which being merely additional references to sections in the new standard.

Motors and their components represent a complex product group whose certification requirements must be individually checked for the Chinese market. They fall under different standards and certification categories, depending on their characteristics and often require mandatory certification. Numerous motor products fall under the CCC Certification (China Compulsory Certification) or CCC Self-Declaration requirements for the Chinese market.

The Chinese GB Standards and Implementation Rules are regularly updated by the authorities, often having considerable implications for the corresponding product manufacturers. Updates are usually not announced and must be independently tracked and implemented by certified factories. Failure to do so may result in severe consequences, including cancellation of certification.

MPR China Certification GmbH will inform you as early as possible about any changes to the GB Standards and Implementation Regulations relevant to you. In the case of modifications to the content, we will be happy to check the relevance for you individually. This is enabled through our long-term relationships with the certification bodies and close coordination with the relevant authorities and test laboratories. Our services allow you to focus on your core business by protecting you from potential certification-related consequences in your China affairs.
