The Kick-Off Meeting for The National Standard ＂Inflatable Water Sports Goods - General Requirements And Test Methods＂ Successfully Held in Guangzhou

This national standard is a response to the current booming development of the eSports industry and a long-term strategic plan. It fills the gap in eSports equipment standards and provides a Chinese solution for the global standardization of the eSports industry.
 
On August 14, the kick-off meeting for the national standard “Inflatable Water Sports Goods - General Requirements and Test Methods” took place in Nansha, Guangzhou. Organized by the China Sporting Goods Federation (CSGF) and National Standardization Technical Committee on Sporting Goods (TC291), the event was attended by the China Canoe Association, the Nansha District Administration for Market Regulation, the Guangzhou Institute of Standardization, and leading manufacturers of water sports goods.
 
The rapid rise in popularity of inflatable products such as paddle boards, dinghies and kayaks has led to significant growth in market demand for product safety, reliability and performance. The new standard will define product categories, technical specifications, testing methods and labelling requirements, providing manufacturers with clear technical guidance while safeguarding consumer safety.
 
Representatives emphasized that the standard would not only fill a domestic gap, but also align with advanced international practices, thereby enhancing the global competitiveness of Chinese products. The initiative is expected to foster a more standardized, professional and internationally integrated water sports industry.
