Standards are the technical support for economic activities and social development, and play a basic, regulatory, leading and strategic role. In the face of the new situation and new requirements, China must shift the foothold of promoting development to improving quality and efficiency.
At the beginning of this year, the Communist Party of China issued the "Outline for the Construction of a Quality Power", proposing to cultivate new advantages in economic development with technology, standards, brands, quality, services, etc. as the core, and promote the transformation of Chinese manufacturing to Chinese creation, Chinese speed to Chinese quality, Chinese products to Chinese brands, and unswervingly promote the construction of a quality powerActively connect with international advanced technology, rules and standards, build a quality power in an all-round way, and provide quality support for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country and the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Since the beginning of this year, the State Administration for Market Regulation (National Standards Committee) has closely focused on the overall situation of promoting the effective improvement of the quality of the economy and the reasonable growth of the quantity, increased the supply of standards, and led high-quality development with high standards.
The pace of standard construction has accelerated
On November 27, the State Administration for Market Regulation (National Standards Committee) approved 17 mandatory national standards such as "General Portland Cement", which will be implemented from June 1, 2024.
General Portland cement as the main raw material of structural buildings, its quality is qualified or not related to the safety of the building, personal and property safety, the release of the "general Portland cement" national standard, from the original standard of "system" modified to "full", and there are many improvements and enhancements in the specific standard requirements. In fact, this improvement also reflects China's urgent requirements for high-quality economic development, and will also greatly promote and help the realization of the dual carbon goals.
In the field of basic public services, China has also achieved remarkable results in the construction of standards.
In August this year, the National Basic Public Service Standards (2023 Edition) (hereinafter referred to as the "National Standards 2023") was released, which is the first adjustment since the release and implementation of the National Basic Public Service Standards in 2021.
In 2021, China issued basic public service standards for the first time, clarifying the standards and lead responsible units for 80 basic public service projects in 9 areas, including childcare, learning and education, income from labor, medical treatment for the sick, support for the elderly, housing and housing, support for the weak, service guarantee for the excellent army, and cultural and sports service guarantee, which has become an important basis for the performance of public service duties and the people's enjoyment of corresponding rights.
Compared with the 2021 version, the National Standards 2023 adds 1 new service item (folic acid supplementation for the prevention of neural tube defects), improves the service standards of 3 service items (exemption of tuition and miscellaneous fees in the compulsory education stage, nutritional and dietary subsidies for rural compulsory education students, and special support for family planning families), expands the scope of service objects of 2 service items (rural dilapidated housing renovation, centralized support for special groups), and further improves the content of China's basic public service standards.
Standard guidance is an important symbol for a country to enter high-quality development and participate in high-quality competition.
In recent years, China's standard construction work has accelerated the pace of progress. By the end of 2022, China has issued national standard 430,000 items, 7 industry standards for the record80,000 items, 6 local standards20,000 items. According to data recently disclosed by the State Administration for Market Regulation (National Standards Committee), the supply scale of national standards will increase by more than 110% year-on-year in 2023. In the first three quarters, 1,971 new national standards were approved and issued, a year-on-year increase of 1106%。Among them, 1,660 national standards were issued in the industrial field, accounting for 842%；122 national standards have been issued in the field of agriculture and rural areas, 118 national standards have been issued in the field of service industry, and 71 national standards have been issued in the field of social management and public services.
Revise and improve the system of laws and regulations
In addition to the national standards, the construction of China's enterprise standards is also excellent.
Up to now, China has issued a self-declaration public group standard 530,000 items, more than 2.7 million enterprise standards, especially more than 3,200 enterprise standards "leader" representing first-class technology, advanced management and remarkable benefits.
In 2023, with the promulgation of the newly revised Interim Provisions on the Standards of Recommended National Standards for Groups (hereinafter referred to as the "Provisions") and the Measures for the Promotion of Enterprise Standardization (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"), the formulation and introduction of enterprise standards will be more active. According to data recently disclosed by the State Administration for Market Regulation (National Standards Committee), in the first three quarters of 2023, there were 13,972 new public group standards for social groups in China, a year-on-year increase of 220%；There were 391,230 self-declaration and disclosure standards for enterprises, a year-on-year increase of 126%, of which there are 181778 high-tech industry standards, accounting for 465%。
The rapid and high-quality growth of enterprise standards is inseparable from the revision and improvement of the standard legal and regulatory system.
The "Provisions" issued in August this year shorten the formulation cycle of acceptance standards, simplify the project evaluation, omit the standard drafting stage, shorten the time for soliciting opinions, and control the approval cycle from the plan to within 12 months, greatly improving the timeliness of the recommended national standard adoption group standards.
The "Measures" issued in September emphasize that the focus of the standardization work function will be changed from standardized management to service enterprise standardization work, and at the same time, the self-declaration disclosure and supervision system of enterprise product and service standards will be refined, so as to strengthen the main position of the enterprise and implement the main responsibility of the enterprise.
In 2021, the "National Standardization Development Outline" (hereinafter referred to as the "Outline") issued by the Communist Party of China (CPC) is an important milestone for the development of China's standardization as a programmatic document to guide the medium and long-term development of China's standardization.
The Outline proposes that by 2025, China will realize the transformation of standard supply from the leading to the first and the market, the application of standards from industry and the first to the whole economic and social transformation, the standardization work from the domestic drive to the domestic and international mutual promotion of the transformation, and the development of standardization from the quantity and scale to the quality and efficiency of the transformation.
*Gao Qinwei, a professor at the School of Law of the University of Finance and Economics, believes that standards come first in industrial optimization. Standardization is a prerequisite for large-scale and specialized production, and standards are also an effective way for innovative technologies to achieve industrialization spillover. More importantly, the standard enables the products produced by different enterprises to be used interchangeably, so that the production and maintenance activities are greatly simplified, so as to improve management, save raw materials, simplify process equipment, and improve design and manufacturing efficiency, and ultimately ordinary consumers can also benefit from the standard. The number of group standards and enterprise standards in China has achieved exponential growth, and standardization has helped business entities to increase power, tap potential, and activate power.
Multi-field and multi-industry standards have been introduced
Many fields and industries in China will also issue relevant standards for the first time in 2023.
In April, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao announced for the first time a list of 110 common implementation standards in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, signed a memorandum of cooperation to promote standards in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and launched the standards information platform and the Greater Bay Area Standard Label. The list of 110 standards covers 25 fields such as food, traditional Chinese medicine, transportation, elderly care, and logistics. The promulgation of the "Bay Area Standards" will further promote win-win cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao in related fields, enhance the level of market integration in the Greater Bay Area, and promote the economic and social development of China's Greater Bay Area.
In October, the "Basic Specifications for Home Care Home Care Services" was released and implemented, providing basic guidelines for home care home care services, service organization conditions and related process requirements, which is the first national standard for home care services in China. The standard covers the main professional services required for home care, including life care, basic care, health management and other requirements.
Also in October, the State Administration for Market Regulation (National Standards Committee) approved the issuance of the national standard of "Technical Regulations for the Preparation of Provincial Land and Spatial Planning". This standard is the first national standard for the preparation of technical specifications for territorial spatial planning in China, which provides technical support for standardizing the preparation and implementation supervision of provincial territorial spatial planning.
Standard guidance is an important symbol for a country to enter high-quality development and participate in high-quality competition. Whose technology becomes the standard, who formulates the standard recognized by the world, who can grasp the initiative of the international first-class and occupy the commanding heights of market competition.
The foreign language version of the Chinese National Standard is an important technical document for international exchanges and cooperation in science, technology and business, and international exchanges. According to the relevant person in charge of the State Administration for Market Regulation (National Standards Committee), at present, China has issued 1,767 foreign language versions of national standards, including 8 languages such as English, covering more than 20 fields of the national economy such as agricultural products, food, consumer goods, metallurgy, and building materials.
In 2023, China will use standards to help high-tech innovation, lead industrial optimization and upgrading, and promote high-level opening-up, and the standard construction work has achieved remarkable results. According to the data disclosed by the State Administration for Market Regulation, China's industrial standards have been continuously upgraded this year, with the conversion rate of international standards in key equipment manufacturing, new generation information technology and other fields exceeding 90%, and the consistency of major consumer goods standards with international standards reaching 95%. The service industry standard system continued to improve, and the newly released national standards for services increased by 12% year-on-year. The standardization work in the field of social management and public services has basically achieved full coverage.
