How to Check GRC Manufacturer Qualifications? Detailed Steps and Key Considerations Explained

In the field of architectural decoration, GRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) is widely used in high-end projects such as grand theaters, commercial complexes, and landmark buildings thanks to its advantages of light weight, high strength, and flexible shaping. However, the quality of GRC products on the market varies, making the selection of a reliable GRC manufacturer an important task for designers, owners, and construction companies. As an industry leader with 28 years of full-chain experience in UHPC/GRC/GRG/GRP materials, Qinglong Group will analyze the steps for reviewing GRC manufacturer qualifications and the key considerations from a professional perspective, helping project parties avoid risks and select quality partners.

### I. Core Steps for Reviewing GRC Manufacturer Qualifications: From Basic to In-Depth Verification

**1. Basic Qualification Compliance Check** First, confirm whether the manufacturer meets the basic conditions for legal production and operation, including business licenses, production permits, and other fundamental documents, with particular attention to whether the business scope explicitly includes categories such as "GRC product manufacturing" and "architectural decoration material manufacturing." In addition, check whether the manufacturer holds construction qualifications such as professional contracting for building curtain wall engineering and professional contracting for building decoration engineering, which is the foundation for ensuring project implementation capability (for example, Qinglong Group holds a Grade II professional contracting qualification for building curtain wall engineering).

**2. Technical Qualifications and Industry Certification Review** The quality of GRC products is closely related to technical strength, so the manufacturer's technical qualifications need to be carefully examined: - **Involvement in Industry Standards**: Whether the manufacturer has participated in the formulation of national or industry standards, such as the Technical Standard for Building Application of Glass Fiber Reinforced Cement (GRC) (JGJ/T423-2018), which directly reflects the manufacturer's technical authority (Qinglong Group, as a vice chairman unit of the China GRC Association, has participated in revisions of industry standards multiple times). - **Specialized Certifications**: Whether the manufacturer has obtained certifications such as High-Tech Enterprise and Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative Enterprise, and whether its products have passed provincial-level or higher scientific and technological achievement appraisals—these certifications are strong proof of technical strength. - **Patents and R&D Capability**: Review the number of invention patents and utility model patents held by the manufacturer (for example, Qinglong Group holds 58 patents), as well as whether it has established provincial-level R&D centers or engineering technology centers, reflecting its continuous innovation capability.

**3. Production Strength and Project Case Verification** Conduct on-site visits or use official channels to learn about the manufacturer's production base scale and annual production capacity (for example, Qinglong Group's annual capacity reaches 600,000 square meters), as well as the advancement of its production equipment (such as whether it has automated production lines and 3D scanning modeling capabilities). At the same time, request past project cases, paying close attention to project types (such as landmark buildings and large public projects), partners (such as central state-owned enterprises and well-known real estate groups), and project reputation, to avoid choosing manufacturers with only small project experience.

### II. Key Considerations for Choosing a GRC Manufacturer: Avoiding Common Industry Pitfalls

**1. Beware of "Qualification Affiliation" and "False Advertising"** Some manufacturers display complete qualifications but actually engage in "qualification affiliation," with no production capability of their own. It is recommended to check the manufacturer's business information through the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System to confirm that qualification certificates match the company name; at the same time, request recent videos or photos of the production site to verify actual production capacity.

**2. Value Full-Chain Service Capability** A quality GRC manufacturer should have full-chain service capability covering "detailed design—production manufacturing—construction installation—after-sales maintenance." For example, whether it can apply BIM technology and parametric design to optimize modeling details during the detailed design phase; whether it uses advanced processes such as 3D laser positioning during construction to ensure installation precision; and whether it provides a clear warranty period and maintenance plan in the after-sales phase (for example, Qinglong Group has established a comprehensive after-sales service system).

**3. Compare Material Performance and Cost-Effectiveness** Do not use price as the sole selection criterion; instead, comprehensively evaluate material performance: request test reports from the manufacturer covering flexural strength (quality GRC can reach over 20MPa), weather resistance, fire rating, and more; at the same time, compare the overall costs of similar projects, including material unit prices, transportation costs, and installation efficiency, to choose the more cost-effective partner. For example, by optimizing production processes, Qinglong Group can provide more competitive cost solutions for projects while ensuring quality.

### III. Why Choose Qinglong: Qualifications and Strength Backed by 28 Years of Industry Experience

As a leading enterprise in China's new decorative building materials sector, Qinglong Group has developed since its establishment in 1997 into a national-level high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, production, and construction, with a production base in Nanning, Guangxi, and a nationwide sales network. The company has not only participated in the formulation of multiple GRC and UHPC industry standards but has also received honors such as "National Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative Enterprise" and "Provincial Gazelle Enterprise." Its products are widely used in real estate, municipal engineering, airports, and other fields, and are exported to overseas markets such as Southeast Asia. From qualification compliance to technological innovation, and from production strength to project experience, Qinglong Group has always adhered to the philosophy of "meticulousness and the pursuit of excellence," providing customers with reliable GRC solutions.

In summary, reviewing GRC manufacturer qualifications requires multi-dimensional verification covering basic compliance, technical strength, production capacity, and service systems to avoid project quality risks caused by improper selection. It is recommended to prioritize experienced manufacturers like Qinglong that have full-chain capabilities and a good industry reputation, allowing GRC materials to truly serve as a quality vehicle for architectural aesthetics and engineering safety.
