With the in-depth implementation of the "Ten Ten", the blue ocean of the soil testing market in China has continuously expanded, which has also brought rare opportunities for the third-party environmental monitoring and testing industry. Nowadays, the phenomenon of "bad coins expelling good coins" has appeared in China's testing market. Although the international brands of domestic testing institutions are still relatively backward, there are still many challenges to achieve internationalization, but it is not difficult. Accelerated socialization of soil remediation market

China began to conduct a national soil pollution survey in 2005. The National Soil Pollution Survey Bulletin published in 2014 pointed out that among the 6.3 million square kilometers of China actually surveyed, the pollution rate of soil points exceeded 16.1%, of which slight, The proportions of light, moderate and severe pollution points were 11.2%, 2.3%, 1.5% and 1.1%, respectively. With the increasing attention to environmental soil pollution, traditional national, provincial, city, and county-level environmental monitoring stations have gradually failed to fully meet the needs of society for soil environmental testing, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Agriculture have gradually opened up the field of environmental monitoring and testing. Access channels. This means that China's market-based environmental monitoring and testing services are continuously opening up and standardized, and the third-party environmental monitoring and testing industry has therefore had the opportunity to develop vigorously.

Socialization of the soil testing market in recent years

At present, the severe situation of soil, groundwater and air pollution in China has directly affected the daily environmental sanitation and health of the people and affected people's livelihood. The programmatic document “Soil Pollution Control Action Plan” (referred to as the “Ten Soil Articles”) issued by the State Council on May 31, 2016 stipulates ten tasks, the first of which is “To conduct a soil pollution survey and master the quality of soil environment” situation". At present, most provinces and municipalities in the country have successively issued their own soil pollution control action plans, compiling supporting documents, and putting them into action.

年初 In early 2017, the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued the “Measures for the Management of Soil Environment in Contaminated Land (Trial)”, which will be implemented from July 1. The "Measures" define a set of strict management processes that are convenient for the operation and management of environmental protection departments, from preliminary preliminary investigations to detailed investigations, to risk assessments, to remediation and final acceptance, and to establish the collection of contaminated land conditions, The big data system of status tracking is convenient for implementing the management principles of classification and carrying out various tasks.

As the first article of the "Ten Articles of Soil" proposes "to carry out a soil pollution investigation and grasp the status of soil environmental quality" and gives a specific timetable, it is even more necessary to conduct soil pollution investigation on key industrial sites before purchase or development. Therefore, over the past six months, the number of site projects has increased significantly, which has brought major benefits to the soil monitoring and testing and survey market, and has brought new business opportunities to the environmental monitoring and testing industry. This is also in line with the blueprint of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" for the development of certification and accreditation inspection and testing jointly issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and other departments in December 2016, and contributes to the development of the certification and accreditation development country.

In the past two or three years, China ’s large and small organizations for analysis and detection of environmental soil and groundwater have sprung up, mainly distributed in more economically developed municipalities and large cities in the province, and many of them have been converted from state-owned testing units to enterprises. A relatively small private institution that was not previously specialized in environmental testing.

Since the testing of contaminated soil is considered a new industry in China, the state has many requirements for soil testing parameters, especially for chemical analysis for determining organic pollutants. Many testing institutions have not kept up with their team management level, environmental analysis technology capabilities and test equipment, and do not have sufficient environmental testing experience in this field, so reports that the quality of the data and reports provided are often questioned.

In order to ensure the healthy development of the testing market, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Land and Resources and the Ministry of Agriculture jointly issued the “Notice on Organizing and Doing a Good Job in Screening Laboratories for the Detailed Investigation of Soil Pollution in the Country” in December 2016, requiring all provinces and municipalities In the region, laboratories that can participate in the nationwide detailed survey of soil pollution are screened for capacity. In principle, each province can recommend no more than 12 laboratories.

Detailed inspection laboratories include inspection laboratories and quality control laboratories. The testing laboratory is mainly responsible for the detailed preparation, analysis and testing of soil, agricultural products and groundwater samples. It is mainly composed of provincial and municipal environmental protection, land and resources, strong technical capabilities, high professional standards, complete equipment and strict management in the agricultural sector. Standardized analysis and testing laboratory composition, if necessary, you can choose to hold the "Certification Certificate of Inspection and Testing Institutions" or "Laboratory Accreditation Certificate" issued by the National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment of China, and third-party professional testing experiments with a high level of overall technology and management room. This is good news for a truly capable third-party environmental laboratory.

                 
　　At the same time, the "Notice" also issued a series of highly technical "National Soil Pollution Detailed Investigation" submission documents, including "Technical Regulations on Soil Sample Analysis and Testing Methods", "Technical Regulations on Groundwater Sample Analysis and Testing Methods" The "Technical Regulations on Quality Assurance and Quality Control" shows that the relevant authorities have attached great importance to this detailed investigation of soil pollution in China.
