China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) has issued over 4,000 national standards to support the country's modernization of its industrial system, particularly in key industries, during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025).
"Since the start of the 14th Five-Year Plan, SAMR has issued more than 4,000 national standards in key industries such as integrated circuits, new materials, new energy vehicles, robotics, and aerospace equipment. Nearly 20 percent of all group standards focus on advanced manufacturing fields such as next-generation information technology and high-end equipment manufacturing, playing an important role in building a modern industrial system and ensuring the stability and security of key industrial and supply chains," said Xiao Han, Director of the Department of Standards Innovation under the SAMR, at a press conference on Thursday.
Among the national standards issued, 491 standards pertained to intelligent manufacturing, 95 to new energy vehicles, and 221 to solar photovoltaic development. These standards offer guidance for the digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises, enabling them to increase production efficiency and reduce costs.
The SAMR and the Standardization Administration of China, together with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Emergency Management, and other relevant departments, have issued a series of policy documents to strengthen policy design and enhance the advanced manufacturing standards framework.
