According to the requirements of Guangdong Provincial Department of Construction's Notice on Compilation Task of Guangdong Local Standard Technical code for indoor environmental pollution control of civil building engineering (YUEJIANKEHAN [2007] No. 333), the compilation team conducted a special study on the relevant detection methods based on the investigation of a large number of standards and research results at home and abroad, and combined with the specific situation of Guangdong Province, and put forward an exposure draft. After soliciting opinions all over the country, and repeated revisions, the Guangdong Provincial Standard Technical code for indoor environmental pollution control of civil building engineering is formulated. This code is divided into seven clauses, i.e. general provisions, terms, materials, survey and design for building engineering, engineering construction, acceptance, quality assurance and quality control, and six annexes of relevant detection methods. Emphasis is placed on the admission detection of pollutants in building materials and decoration materials, attention is paid to the control of pollutants in engineering investigation, design and construction process, and priority is given to the final engineering acceptance. Specific technical requirements are put forward for air quality control in the whole building construction process. Mandatory provisions in this standard are basically consistent with those in GB 50325-2010 Code for indoor environmental pollution control of civil building engineering. The provisions hereof printed in bold type are compulsory provisions and must be enforced strictly. Guangdong Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is in charge of the administration of this code, and Guangzhou City Architectural Research Institute is responsible for the explanation of specific technical contents.
