China has led the formulation of hundreds of international standards during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), which helped related industries to enhance their international competitiveness, said an official in Beijing on Thursday.
Speaking at a press conference, officials from the country's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) briefed the media on the progress that China has achieved in industrialization during the Five-Year Plan period.
Xiao Han, director of the SAMR's Standard Innovation Department, said that the international standards, with China playing a leading part in their formulation, have provide reliable guarantees for Chinese products like high-end equipment, key components, and large-scale integrated systems to qualify for the international market.
"In key areas such as high-end equipment and intelligent manufacturing, China newly have taken on secretariat positions in 26 technical institutions of the International Organization for Standardization. Meanwhile, Chinese experts have newly served as chairpersons of 30 technical bodies. China has put forward 880 new proposals and led the formulation of 532 international standards in fields such as new energy vehicles, advanced power systems and aerospace," said Xiao.
As China is actively promoting the compatibility of domestic and international standard systems, 4,210 advanced and applicable international standards have been converted into China's national standards, with the conversion rate in key areas exceeding 90 percent.
