May 8, 2021, led by Zhongguancun Human Settlements Engineering and Materials Research Institute and China Academy of Building Materials Science and Technology, and prepared by MiG (Zhejiang) Innovation and Technology Co., Ltd., a group of "Antibacterial Functional Facing Materials for Hospitals" Standards are promulgated and implemented. This standard was issued by the China Building Decoration Association. After two years, a series of processes including market research, enterprise solicitation, product testing, and expert review have been recognized by the industry.

Air quality is closely related to human health. As a special place, the hospital has high density of personnel, high mobility, complex microbial environment, frequent activities of pathogen carriers, and cross-effects of multiple bacteria. Hospitals are prone to cause nosocomial infections due to the extensive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, hormones, and immunosuppressive agents in treatment. A large number of pathogenic bacteria walk in the air of the hospital environment, causing pollution to the hospital environment and hospital infection of personnel. The survey found that the amount of bacteria in the air in the hospital exceeded the national standard limit by more than ten times. National hospital infection surveillance shows that there is an increasing trend of gram-negative bacteria contamination, and the concentration of highly drug-resistant bacteria. A hospital is a place for a large number of patients, who are weak and immune. Therefore, inhibiting and controlling microorganisms in the air is of great significance for improving the quality of the hospital's environment, reducing infections, and improving human health.

In the field of human settlements, coatings and other finishing materials with antibacterial functions have complete standards to guide the healthy and orderly development of the industry. Moreover, these materials have been widely used in the market and technology upgrades, in order to improve the quality and maintenance of human settlements. Make a significant contribution to human health. As a typical building, hospitals are more closely related to human health, and various types of finish materials such as coatings are widely used in them. At present, various decorative materials with antibacterial functions have been applied to many major and key projects. There are about 300 production enterprises engaged in antibacterial decorative materials across the country, with an output value of tens of billions, which brings indirect economic benefits to human health. Several hundred million yuan or more. Hospitals are different from residential buildings, and the concentration and types of microbial pollution are also different, so the standards for residential buildings cannot be directly adopted. For the antibacterial facing material products used in hospitals, there is currently no relevant product standard, which is not conducive to product performance evaluation, hinders product technology upgrades, and seriously hinders product promotion and application.

After the promulgation and implementation of the "Antibacterial Functional Facing Materials for Hospitals" group standard T/CADBM35-2021, it will escort the high-quality development of the green hospital industry, improve the quality of products, and promote the healthy and sustainable development of the hospital industry.
