Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard specifies the safety requirements for the production of aluminium and aluminium alloy cast-rolled strips, hot-rolled plates and strips, and cold-rolled plates, strips, and foils. It applies to the safety management of these production processes within the non-ferrous metallurgy industry. It is mandatory for all facilities engaged in the specified aluminium rolling and finishing operations. It replaces the previous versions GB 30079.1-2013, GB 30079.2-2013, and GB 30079.3-2013.
Technical requirements
The standard outlines comprehensive safety management protocols, including the "three simultaneities" requirement for construction projects and mandatory risk assessment protocols. It specifies safety distances, fire compartmentation, and electrical grounding designs for plant layouts and buildings, referencing standards like GB 50016 for fire protection. Facilities must implement strict safety interlocks and physical isolation for all hazardous moving parts. It details safety requirements for key production stages: cast-rolling, hot-rolling, cold-rolling, heat treatment, and finishing. The standard mandates specific safety devices for gas combustion systems, including automatic ignition, flame monitoring, and emergency cut-off mechanisms. Explosion-proof electrical equipment and proper ventilation are strictly required in areas handling flammable liquids or gases. The standard sets forth stringent guidelines for CO2 automatic fire extinguishing systems in critical zones such as cold rolling mills and underground oil libraries. It also introduces new requirements for dust management in polishing processes and safety protocols for coating rooms, aligning with AQ 4272 and GB 15577 for dust explosion prevention.
Testing methods
Compliance is verified through a combination of documentation review and on-site inspection. This includes reviewing project completion records, safety management protocols, and training records. On-site inspections verify safety protection distances, fire compartmentation, electrical installations, and the functionality of safety interlocks and warning signs. Emergency response capabilities are evaluated through drill records and equipment inventory checks.
