Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard specifies the safety requirements for the loading, unloading, and storage of cement at ports. It is applicable to port cement handling and storage operations, including packaged cement operations, bulk cement terminal loading and unloading, and bulk cement silo system operations. This standard is mandatory for all port operators and enterprises involved in cement logistics in China. It does not apply to the manufacturing processes of cement itself, which are covered by other regulations.
Technical requirements
The standard outlines comprehensive safety protocols across three main operational areas. For packaged cement operations, it specifies requirements for stacking, moisture protection, and safe distances between cargo piles and facilities. For bulk cement terminal operations, it details the procedures for ship loading and unloading, including the alignment of telescopic chutes and monitoring of tank truck levels. For bulk cement silo systems, it mandates strict requirements for storage system integrity, process equipment sealing, and automated monitoring. Operators must ensure that all safety protection devices and monitoring systems are fully functional before commencing operations. The standard also references several other national standards, such as GB/T 6067.1 for crane safety and GB 4915 for air pollutant emissions, to ensure comprehensive compliance.
Testing methods
The standard requires regular inspection and monitoring of equipment and environmental conditions. Key evaluation procedures include checking the airtightness of continuous loading and conveying equipment, monitoring dust concentration levels at workplaces and dust collector discharge ports, and verifying the interlocking functionality of monitoring systems with process equipment. Real-time monitoring of the entire cement handling and storage process is mandatory. Additionally, it requires visual and operational checks of dust suppression systems and emergency stop mechanisms.
