150+ genuine reports break the industry race-to-the-bottom — GEMMANEW guards quality in healthcare spaces
2025-9-22
Big news from Shenzhen recently — Phase II of the Longgang No. 6 People's Hospital officially opened on 16 September. Throughout the hospital's journey from planning to opening, the flooring material — in constant daily contact with patients and staff — went through layer after layer of rigorous screening.
GEMMANEW flooring stood out in the early stages of the Longgang No. 6 Hospital project on the strength of solid quality and a comprehensive testing system. The story of that "quality breakout" begins three years earlier, with a surprise inspection challenge.
A surprise quality test
In 2022, construction at the Shenzhen Longgang No. 4 People's Hospital project was proceeding smoothly when it was abruptly halted by spot-check results on a batch of PVC flooring. Surprisingly, the failing product came from a well-known international flooring brand — it did not pass the rigorous on-site witnessed sampling conducted by the Longgang Construction Works Bureau.
Even more shocking was the gulf between spot-check data and the submitted approval documents. The commissioned inspection report the brand had previously submitted showed a product weight of 2,980 g/m², abrasion loss of 1.1 mm³, and a T-grade wear rating;Yet on-site sampling measured a weight of 3,498 g/m², abrasion loss of 4.8 mm³, and only an M-grade wear rating — falling far short of the T-grade standard mandated by the Shenzhen Construction Works Bureau's tender technical parameters.
The final verdict — "Report does not match the actual product" — settled the matter. The client immediately revoked the supplier's qualification, the nearly 2,000 m² already installed was torn out, and the project ground to a halt.
With the schedule under pressure, the project urgently needed a "reliable partner" to step in and rescue it.
GEMMANEW soon entered the bidding round alongside three overseas brands. In the end, GEMMANEW won the tender on the strength of better value for money, swiftly submitted a technical commitment letter to the latest national standard, and saw its approval documents pass scrutiny by both the main contractor and the supervisor.
But the Longgang Construction Works Bureau did not relax its requirements for the emergency replacement — instead, it set up an even stricter "four-gate" challenge to put GEMMANEW's product through a full examination:
Gate 1 — Production traceability. The supervisor and main contractor's leads travelled directly to the GEMMANEW factory, randomly inspected products on the production line, and oversaw every step from raw-material ratios to vulcanisation, ensuring that the "actual product" matched the "reported data" exactly.
Gate 2 — On-site sampling. The day the product arrived on site, the Construction Works Bureau, supervisor, main contractor, and others jointly witnessed the unpacking, sampling, and sign-off — an open and transparent process.
Gate 3 — Inter-provincial testing. Samples were escorted in person by air to the CTC testing laboratory in Beijing.The verdict — "All tested items pass" — saw GEMMANEW flooring clear the most critical hurdle.
But the test was not yet over.
Gate 4 followed without pause: as the project approached completion, the supervisor launched a final round of sampling and inspection. This time samples were split between two authoritative bodies — one to the Shenzhen Academy of Building Research for dedicated TVOC emission testing, and the other to SGS for comprehensive verification of the product's physical and chemical stability.Dual-track testing, double assurance — GEMMANEW flooring once again passed the ultimate exam with every line of results meeting the standard.
On 5 September 2023, the Longgang No. 4 People's Hospital project was successfully completed. GEMMANEW flooring delivered flawlessly, clearing all four levels of quality inspection.
Winning the tender against imported brands
Quality breakout under strategic procurement standards
If the Longgang No. 4 Hospital project was a "rescue mission," then the 2023 Longgang No. 6 People's Hospital project was a head-to-head contest between GEMMANEW and imported international brands.
The project explicitly required all PVC homogeneous through-body sheet flooring to strictly comply with the Shenzhen Construction Works Bureau's 2019–2021 strategic-procurement technical standard — the "quality ceiling" for public projects in Shenzhen. Three internationally known imported flooring brands joined GEMMANEW in the bidding.
In the end, GEMMANEW broke through the field of three imported competitors — not on price alone, but on the technical fluency it showed throughout early discussions and the quality reputation built up project after project.
From material approval through to on-site installation, every step was kept under exceptionally strict control. The client never let up on quality, and GEMMANEW fully cooperated with every inspection procedure.
During the brand approval stage, GEMMANEW had already submitted the required [Type Inspection Report] to confirm that the product met access standards. Once materials arrived on site, the supervisor and main contractor went further: every product also had to be sampled on site and sent to an authoritative testing centre for full inspection.
On the day the materials finally arrived, the Longgang Construction Works Bureau, the supervisor, the main contractor, and others were all on site to witness the sampling process from start to finish. Every sample was sealed and labelled to ensure fairness and transparency. Once sealed, the samples were escorted in person by air directly to the CTC (China Testing & Certification) laboratory in Beijing.
Waiting for results is often agonising, but the GEMMANEW team remained calm and confident throughout. From raw-material traceability to process control, from wear values to the stability of physical and chemical performance, every detail has been honed and proven — more than enough to withstand the strictest scrutiny.
The inspection report duly arrived. Compared rigorously against the "Shenzhen Construction Works Bureau 2019–2021 Technical Parameters for Homogeneous Through-Body PVC Sheet Flooring," GEMMANEW's PVC homogeneous flooring measured 2,832 g/m² in total weight per unit area — better than the ≤ 2,850 g/m² standard; wear class T with a precisely controlled wear value of 1.9; longitudinal and transverse heated dimensional change rates of 0.06 (X) and 0.08 (Y), far below the ≤ 0.4 limit; and a residual indentation of just 0.02, showing outstanding dimensional stability. Every hard metric passed — not only 100% compliant, but significantly exceeding the Shenzhen Bureau's technical requirements across multiple dimensions.
Inspection after inspection, hurdle after hurdle, GEMMANEW flooring kept passing without drama or excuses — letting hard data prove the quality. The report is not merely a piece of paper; it is the answer GEMMANEW delivers to the market through diligence and integrity.
And this is not an isolated case.
From Longgang's No. 4 and No. 6 People's Hospitals to the Longgang No. 2 People's Hospital, the ENT Hospital, the No. 3 People's Hospital, the Central Hospital… GEMMANEW flooring has been through the same rigorous testing on countless major healthcare projects — and passed every single one. Every sample and every report repeats the same fact: GEMMANEW's quality can withstand any test, and deserves every bit of trust placed in it.
Let performance speak, let data prove — this is the most grounded answer GEMMANEW gives the market.
Quality commitment behind 150+ inspection reports
GEMMANEW's archive holds over 150 inspection reports neatly stacked side by side — from 2019 to 2025, averaging nearly 30+ per year, spanning the three categories of commissioned testing, type testing, and witnessed testing, and covering the entire product range. Together they form GEMMANEW's "iron triangle of quality verification":
Commissioned inspection reports — each product's "basic health check." For every new product, GEMMANEW commissions full testing by an authoritative third party to confirm conformity with China's national GB standards and industry norms, providing the "entry credential" needed for project approval;
Type inspection reports — production's "dynamic monitor." GEMMANEW regularly takes random samples from the production line for type testing, focusing on product stability: weight variance within a single batch, colour consistency across different batches, and so on, so that "batch-to-batch drift" never affects project quality. Unlike common industry practice — where many brands' type inspections have limited scope and low frequency — GEMMANEW has always insisted on systematic, full-scope, high-frequency testing. The resulting body of type inspection reports is among the most comprehensive and continuous in the industry, genuinely safeguarding quality from raw material through to the factory gate.
Witnessed inspection reports — the on-site "quality commitment letter." On major projects, samples are taken on site jointly by the client, the supervisor, the main contractor, and others, then sent to an authoritative third-party body for inspection and reporting. This report is not just an authoritative endorsement of GEMMANEW's product quality; it is the core support that keeps everything moving smoothly from material delivery through installation to project handover. It builds client confidence in product consistency and long-term stability, ensuring high-quality project delivery.
As GEMMANEW Chairman Zhuang Baohao puts it: "150+ reports are not a pile of numbers — they are our commitment to the value of integrity in practice. If we promise a T-grade product, we will never deliver a P-grade one. If we promise to meet strategic procurement standards, we will never cut corners on the specs."
This uncompromising attention to quality found its most direct proof in Shenzhen Longgang's nine major hospital construction projects: GEMMANEW flooring maintained a continuous 100% pass rate in national inspections, with every wear grade precisely meeting the promised T-grade standard — clearing the strict demands of the healthcare setting with rock-solid quality.
This proven strength in professional settings has also won GEMMANEW broader authoritative recognition: from making the flooring shortlist for the Shenzhen Metro Real Estate Tower and the new Shenzhen Construction Works Bureau office building, to being added to the brand registries of the Qianhai Authority, the Zhuhai Hengqin Construction Bureau, and other government and authoritative bodies — every collaboration is grounded in the market's trust in its quality.
With systematically reproducible quality consistency and a complete portfolio of qualifications and reports, GEMMANEW delivers "qualifications + quality" — a dual guarantee for clients in tender bids. Its benchmark performance on healthcare flooring projects has set a new quality standard for the industry, making it a trusted partner for government flooring procurement.
Beating the race-to-the-bottom with quality; rejecting counterfeits with reports
Leading the way for healthy industry development
While the flooring industry is mired in a race-to-the-bottom dominated by low prices and counterfeits — with many brands sacrificing quality for short-term gains — GEMMANEW remains committed to long-term thinking grounded in "real, verifiable quality."
GEMMANEW refuses to lower standards in pursuit of low prices. From the dramatic spot-check turnaround across Shenzhen Longgang's nine major hospital projects to the 150+ end-to-end inspection reports, GEMMANEW has used the hard power of "traceable parameters and reproducible tests" to shatter the practice of substituting inferior products. Real brand strength has never been the noise of a price war but the reliability of delivering quality — promising a T-grade product means never delivering a P-grade one, giving partners peace of mind and users complete confidence.
Looking ahead, GEMMANEW remains true to its mission of "advancing the industry and safeguarding a greener planet" — using stricter quality control to resist the lure of cut-rate substitutes, using more transparent reporting to clear away the grey market for counterfeits, and continuing to provide partners with the triple assurance of "qualifications + quality + service" so that users enjoy safe, eco-friendly flooring spaces.
We firmly believe the industry should not be defined by low prices but led by quality. A brand's brilliance ultimately shines through in the conviction to resist disorder and in the quality that withstands inspection — lighting the path to healthy industry development.
