On November 26,2025, a devastating fire erupted at Hongfu Garden in Tai Po, Hong Kong. As of December 9, the incident had claimed 160 lives, with approximately six people still missing. This deadliest fire disaster in Hong Kong in recent years has not only caused profound grief but also prompted deep reflection on building fire safety design. From a professional fire safety perspective, the tragedy exposed systemic failures in three critical aspects of fire protection design. Had any one of these three safeguards been effective, the severity of the tragedy could have been significantly mitigated or even entirely prevented.

Chen Wolins story is one of dedication and relentless commitment. For over two decades, he has specialized in the field of nano-silicon (crystalline silicon) fire-resistant glass, not only filling a technological gap in China but also driving progress across the entire industry.

On July 11,2025, the National Fire and Rescue Administration, the Ministry of Public Security, and the State Administration for Market Regulation jointly issued the "Work Plan for Comprehensive Rectification of Fire Product Quality and Safety Throughout the Entire Supply Chain," launching a nationwide campaign to address quality and safety issues across the entire fire product supply chain. This initiative aims to resolutely prevent and mitigate potential risks, effectively safeguard peoples lives and property, and establish a robust, integrated supervision mechanism covering the entire lifecycle of fire products.

Many people believe that fire-resistant glass doors and windows simply consist of qualified fire-resistant glass paired with fire-resistant hardware, and once assembled, they meet all required standards for delivery.As a leading manufacturer specializing in the research, development, and production of fire protection systems, we must emphasize unequivocally: A truly compliant fire-resistant glass door or window that withstands fire testing constitutes a complete fire protection system, not merely a simple combination of components such as glass, profiles, hardware, and seals. Fire-resistant glass certified separately or hardware parts submitted for individual inspection may not pass comprehensive fire resistance testing when assembled together, let alone obtain full compliance certification—a key reason why numerous projects face acceptance challenges.

To enhance technical exchanges in the construction fire safety sector, standardize the application of fire protection products, and promote high-quality industry development, the Jiangmen Construction Engineering Fire Protection Industry Association recently organized its member units to visit Guangdong Hengbao Fire Protection Technology Co., Ltd., where they conducted a field tour and attended a specialized technical seminar. Zou Zhao from the Fire Management Division of the Jiangmen Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau was invited to participate. Representatives from various stakeholders gathered to discuss technological innovation, establish industry standards, and strengthen building fire safety safeguards.

On the afternoon of November 27, the Jiangmen Construction Industry Association, the Real Estate Industry Association, and the Huagong Jiangmen Alumni Association jointly organized a thematic inspection event titled "Linking Industries, Creating the Future," bringing together representatives from over 40 enterprises to visit Guangdong Hengbao Security Technology Co., Ltd. The event aimed to foster deeper integration between the construction and real estate sectors and their upstream and downstream industrial chains, establish practical cooperation frameworks, and explore new collaborative opportunities.

Good news: Hengbao and Malaysia's Nanxing Glass Group have jointly developed the EI60 and EI120 fire rated door with partition system, which has successfully obtained SIRIM certification from the Malaysia Institute of Scientific Innovation and Industrial Research (SIRIM Berhad). This makes Hengbao the first company whose EI120 fire rated door with partition system has received SIRIM certification. The collaboration between Hengbao and Nanxing Glass Group marks a significant milestone in their shared success story!

From November 3 to 4, the 27th China International Door & Window & Curtain Wall Technology Exchange Seminar and the 3rd National Door & Window Distributors Conference were grandly held in Shanghai.

On October 12, the CFIC2025 China Fire Safety Industry Conference and the 18th China Fire Industry Brand Summit were grandly held at the Beijing Guoce International Convention and Exhibition Center.

On March 11,2026, the 2026 Guangdong Glass Industry High-Quality Development Conference, themed "New Era, New Standards, New Opportunities, New Development," was grandly inaugurated at Shunde Poly Holiday Hotel.
