In implementing the development idea of creativity, harmonization, green and opening up, as well as consolidating the results of development, the Green Canton Fair program will be normalized since the 126^th session. A target of 100% coverage of Green Stands in the 126^th session of Canton Fair has been established.

Criteria for the Green Custom-built Stand of Canton Fair

     The criteria herein define the design, structure, material, workmanship of stand setting-up and dismantling as well as the display effect, which shall be applicable for all custom-built stands in the Canton Fair.

1. Meanings

     The Green Stands shall comply with trends of conciseness, standardization and environmental protection. Design should follow the reduce, reuse and recycle principle. The structures should be modular and component-based. Regeneration and recycling materials should be key materials for these stands. The display effects should well demonstrate the corporate philosophy, and image of the corporate and its products.

2. Criteria

     The stands should be fabricated following the basic requirements and green requirements set herein.

（1）Basic requirements

a. Design

Pass the design verification of custom-built stand of the Canton Fair.

b. Fire-protection and structure safety

（i）Pass the fire-protection and structure safety verification of the Canton Fair.

（ii）Ensure the entire strength, rigidity, stability and join stability of the stand structure.

（iii）Stand design and construction should strictly comply with relevant national imposed technical specifications, standards and  regulations.

c. Safety of power usage

d. Refer to the manual book of the Canton Fair for details.

（2）Green requirements

a. Design

3-Rprinciple shall be followed, they are：

A. Reduce: minimize materials to realize the stand function.

B. Reuse: materials should be reused as the original.

C. Recycle: Economically recycle and reuse materials which help to realize the stand function.

b. Materials

（i）Regeneration , recycle, Non-toxic environmental protection material or recycling materials should be employed in the construction. They should comply with standards set in A and B of this item.

A. Quantity of decoration materials used for full-metal structures should be less than 10% of the total cubage of the structure itself (as per cubage of the structure). Only non-timber materials shall be allowed for this purpose. The constructional materials must be 100% recyclable.

B. Quantity of timber materials used for mixed structures should be less than 30% of the total cubage of the structure itself (as per cubage of the structure). The constructional materials must be 100% recyclable.

（ii）Light, easy for dismantling, loading and haulage.

（iii）Efficient light bulb used in the lighting system should not be lower than 80%.

 

C. Setting-up and dismantling

（i）On-site fabrication should be modular and component-based. Construction and dismantling should be in good order, controllable, convenient, safe and expedited.

（ii）No adverse impact should be resulted to persons, exhibition halls and facilities in the complex. No dust, noise, toxin gas and discarded materials should be left in the halls. No violations of any regulations should be allowed.

D. Effects
