GB/T 13727-2016 ), the “Exploration Specifications for Landslide Prevention and Control Projects” formulated by the organization ( GB/T 32864-2016 )、“Sapphire Grading” ( GB/T 32862-2016 )、“Ruby Grading” ( GB/T 32863-2016 ) 4 This national standard has been approved and released by the National Standardization Administration, effective from... 2017 Year 3 Moon 1 Effective from the date of issuance.

　　The revised "Geological Exploration Specifications for Natural Mineral Water Resources" applies to the geological exploration, development and utilization, source protection, and dynamic monitoring of potable natural mineral water resources and therapeutic natural mineral water resources that can be developed and utilized under current economic and technological conditions. This standard specifies the technical requirements for geological exploration of natural mineral water resource sources, water quality testing and evaluation, calculation and assessment of allowable extraction volumes, source protection and dynamic monitoring, as well as the basic requirements for preparing exploration reports.

　　The "Code for Exploration of Landslide Prevention and Control Projects" applies to the exploration phase of landslide prevention and control projects. This standard specifies requirements for the classification of landslide prevention and control projects, landslide surveys, preliminary exploration during the feasibility study stage, detailed exploration during the design stage, and supplementary exploration during the construction stage; it also outlines key exploration methods, physical and mechanical tests, and stability analysis procedures.

　　“Ruby Grading” applies to the grading of natural, unenhanced or heat-treated, unmounted faceted and polished rubies (mounted faceted and polished rubies may be graded in accordance with this document). This standard specifies the grading rules for natural, unenhanced or heat-treated, unmounted faceted and polished rubies.
