Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
GB 19079.6-2013 applies to all types of ski areas that are open to the public for training, competition, fitness, and leisure activities in China. This includes both indoor ski facilities and outdoor ski resorts. It is mandatory for any commercial ski operation and does not apply to private, non-commercial training grounds.
Technical requirements
This standard specifies the basic conditions and technical requirements for the operation of ski areas. The technical content is entirely mandatory. It defines key requirements for ski trails, including minimum total surface areas for both indoor and outdoor slopes, minimum compacted snow thickness, and specific dimensions for stop zones at the end of trails. Facility requirements mandate that cableways comply with special equipment management regulations. Ski areas must be equipped with safety nets, warning signs, specialized grooming machinery, first-aid rooms, and dedicated equipment for ski gear maintenance. All provided equipment and facilities must have valid product quality inspection certificates. The standard also outlines personnel qualifications, requiring ski instructors and cableway operators to hold national vocational certifications. Additionally, it sets forth environmental and safety management rules, including weather broadcast provisions, public hygiene standards, and specific illuminance limits for night skiing operations.
Testing methods
The standard primarily relies on physical verification and documentation review rather than complex laboratory testing. Compliance is assessed through visual inspection of safety installations (like nets and warning signs), verification of area dimensions for trails and stop zones, measurement of compacted snow depth, and checks of illuminance levels for night skiing. Regulatory inspections also include auditing personnel qualification certificates and equipment quality documents.
