Before large-scale construction and installation, physical process samples and graphic explanations should be set up and jointly accepted and confirmed by all responsible units. It is strictly prohibited to replace new wall materials with clay products. Except for special parts, wall construction projects above the zero level must use wall material products recognized as new wall materials at the provincial level, and the selection of new wall material products that have obtained green building material certification is encouraged.
(5) The supervision unit should carefully inspect the wall materials entering the site, review the quality certification documents, strictly implement the witness sampling system, and conduct on-site witness sampling for building materials. They can only be used after being signed by a professional supervising engineer, and supervision should be implemented for the use of new wall materials.
(6) New wall material production enterprises should properly label products as required, strengthen product quality control, and ensure that product quality meets relevant standard requirements.
