The main standards for the certification of venue facilities are based on three documents: the IAAF certification system procedures, the competition rules and the standard manual for track and field venue facilities.

In the "World Athletics Certification System Procedures", site facility certification is divided into four categories: first-level site facility certification, second-level site facility certification, indoor site facility certification, and partial site facility certification.

Level 1 Site Facility Certification

Applicable to all competition venues (1.1~1.10) specified in the definition of "International Sports Competition" in the "Rules of Track and Field Competition", and the venue facilities specified in Article 1.1 must apply for the certification of first-level venue facilities.

The following supporting documents should be submitted to apply for IAAF Level 1 facility certification:

1. Mapping report of outdoor track and field facilities.

2. The on-site test report issued by the IAAF accredited laboratory.

3. The synthetic material surface layer of the pavement has obtained the World Athletics Federation certification, which is currently valid.

ISO9001 quality system certification has the following characteristics:

1. The object of certification is the quality system of the supplier. The object of quality system certification is not a product or service of the enterprise, but the quality system itself. Of course, quality system certification will inevitably involve the products or services covered by the system. Some enterprises apply for the certification of the overall quality system including various products or services of the enterprise, and some applications only cover one or part of the products (or service) quality system certification. Although the scope of products involved is large or small, the object of certification is the quality system of the supplier.

2. Certification is based on quality assurance standards. For quality system certification, it is often the supplier's need to provide quality assurance to the outside world, so the certification is based on the relevant quality assurance model standards. In order to bring the quality system certification into line with international practice, it is better for the supplier to choose the ISO9001:2015 standard.

3. The certification body is a third-party quality system evaluation body. To make the supplier quality system certification fair and credible, the certification must be undertaken by a third-party organization that has no economic interest in the certified unit (supplier) and no administrative affiliation. In addition to having experienced and well-trained personnel, resources and procedures that meet the requirements, this institution must also win the support of the government and the trust of society with its excellent certification practices, and be authoritative and impartial.

4. Certification Approved logos are registered and issued certificates. For a quality system that applies for certification according to the prescribed procedures, when the evaluation result is judged to be qualified, the certification body will register and issue a certificate to the certification enterprise, which will be listed in the directory of quality system certification enterprises and released to the public. Certified enterprises may use the registration mark in promotional materials, trade fairs and other promotional activities, but the mark shall not be used directly on products or their packaging to avoid confusion with product certification. The registered mark is protected by law and shall not be used or forged.

5. Certification is the voluntary behavior of enterprises. Product quality certification can be divided into two categories: safety certification and quality certification, among which safety certification is often a mandatory certification. Quality system certification is mainly to improve the quality and reputation of the enterprise and expand the sales volume. Generally, the enterprise applies voluntarily and voluntarily, which is an independent behavior of the enterprise. However, enterprises that do not apply for certification are often subject to the pressure of distrust or trade barriers naturally formed by the market, forcing them to strive to enter the ranks of certified enterprises, but this is not the mandatory role of the certification system or government decrees.

ISO 14001 is the internationally recognized standard for environmental management systems (EMS). It provides a framework for organizations to design and implement an EMS, and continually improve their environmental performance. By adhering to this standard, organizations can ensure they are taking proactive measures to minimize their environmental footprint, comply with relevant legal requirements, and achieve their environmental objectives. The framework encompasses various aspects, from resource usage and waste management to monitoring environmental performance and involving stakeholders in environmental commitments.

In an age of heightened environmental consciousness and increasing global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource depletion, organizations have a pivotal role to play. ISO 14001 offers a structured approach for businesses to address these pressing concerns. By adopting this standard, organizations signal a commitment not only to regulatory compliance but also to ongoing environmental improvement. This proactive approach to environmental management can result in tangible benefits, such as reduced waste, energy conservation, and cost savings.

Furthermore, it enhances an organization's reputation, fosters stakeholder trust, and often constitutes a critical step for engaging in global trade and supply chains. Simply put, ISO 14001 stands as a testament to an organization's dedication to a sustainable future, blending environmental responsibility with strategic business growth.
