In recent years, with the continuous improvement of building safety requirements, the fire prevention standards for building decoration materials have also been continuously updated. The implementation of the new version of fire prevention standards has put forward higher requirements for the combustion performance, smoke toxicity, fire resistance limit and other indicators of decorative materials, and the entire industry has ushered in new development requirements and challenges. The fire resistance performance of building decoration materials is directly related to the fire safety of buildings. In the event of a fire, the combustion performance of decorative materials can affect the spread speed of the fire and the amount of smoke produced, thereby affecting personnel evacuation and firefighting rescue. Therefore, countries have established strict standards for the fire resistance performance of building decoration materials. The current fire prevention standards for building decoration materials in China mainly include "Classification of Combustion Performance of Building Materials and Products" and "Code for Fire Protection Design of Interior Decoration of Buildings", which provide clear regulations on the combustion performance levels of decoration materials used in different places.

The update of the new version of fire prevention standards is mainly reflected in the following aspects: firstly, it has raised the requirements for the combustion performance level of decorative materials in some places, especially in densely populated areas, high-rise buildings, underground buildings, etc., with stricter fire prevention requirements for decorative materials; The second is to increase the requirements for the toxicity of material smoke and pay more attention to the harm of smoke to personnel in fires; Thirdly, the testing method for material combustion performance has been improved, making the test results more scientific and accurate.

The update of fire prevention standards has had a profound impact on the decorative materials industry. On the one hand, the market space for traditional decorative materials with poor fire resistance is being compressed, and companies need to increase research and development investment to develop products with better fire resistance. Decorative materials with excellent fire resistance, such as ice and fire boards, have a combustion performance level of up to A, meeting the requirements of the new fire protection standards, and the market demand continues to grow. On the other hand, as the entry threshold for the industry increases, some companies with weaker technical strength and substandard product quality will face elimination, and the concentration of the industry is expected to increase.

For decorative material production enterprises, they should actively respond to the challenges brought by the update of fire prevention standards. One is to strengthen the study and research of the new version of fire prevention standards, accurately grasp the requirements of the standards; Secondly, increase investment in fire prevention technology research and development to enhance the fire resistance performance of products; Thirdly, strengthen product quality control to ensure that products meet standard requirements; The fourth is to pay attention to industry development trends and plan ahead for the research and production of fire-resistant decorative materials.

Industry insiders say that the update of fire prevention standards is an inevitable trend in the development of the industry, which is conducive to improving the level of building fire safety and promoting the healthy development of the industry. Enterprises should actively adapt to changes in standards, strengthen technological innovation, enhance product competitiveness, and achieve sustainable development in the new market environment.
