Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to the safe production of aluminium and aluminium alloy cast-rolled strips. It covers the basic safety requirements, equipment operational safety, and emergency measures for the cast-rolling process. It is specifically designed for facilities engaged in the cast-rolling of aluminium plates, sheets, and foils. It does not cover hot rolling or cold rolling processes, which are addressed in other parts of the GB 30078 and GB 30079 series.
Technical requirements
The standard outlines mandatory safety requirements in Chapters 4, 5, and 6, focusing on hazard identification, equipment safety, and emergency protocols. Facilities must establish hazard identification and risk control surveys, and ensure emergency lighting is installed in cast-rolling areas to handle power outages. Companies must implement comprehensive risk assessments for all production stages. For equipment and facilities, the standard specifies operational safety for melting furnaces, holding furnaces, drying ovens, and cast-rolling machines. It mandates strict protocols to prevent burns, mechanical injuries, and explosions, such as using specialized tools for high-temperature materials and ensuring no personnel stand under cast-rolling strips during operation. Operators must follow precise procedures for cleaning, shearing, and coiling to prevent severe injuries. The standard also details safety measures for auxiliary systems, including liquefied gas systems and grain size testing laboratories. It requires gas leak alarms, proper ventilation, and strict prohibitions on ignition sources in gas cylinder rooms. Facilities must equip gas rooms with fire extinguishers and establish isolation zones during emergencies.
Testing methods
While this standard primarily focuses on operational safety rather than product testing, it includes an informative appendix (Appendix A) that provides a hazard identification and risk assessment matrix. This matrix helps facilities evaluate risks across various processes like batching, melting, cast-rolling, and lifting. Companies are expected to use this framework to conduct their own safety evaluations and implement appropriate risk control measures.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 30079.1-2013?
GB 30079.1-2013 regulates the safe production of aluminium and aluminium alloy cast-rolled strips used for plates, sheets, and foils. It specifically targets the cast-rolling process and does not apply to hot or cold rolling.
Are there any mandatory chapters in GB 30079.1-2013?
Yes, Chapters 4, 5, and 6 are mandatory. These chapters cover basic safety requirements, equipment and facility operational safety, and emergency response plans. Compliance with these chapters is legally required for relevant manufacturers.
Does GB 30079.1-2013 reference other standards?
Yes, it references several standards including GB 5842 for liquefied petroleum gas cylinders, GB 30078-2013 for safety specifications of aluminium alloy ingots, and AQ/T 9002-2006 for emergency response plan guidelines. Manufacturers must also comply with these referenced standards.
