Report on the Development of Association Standards (2020) published

In November 2020, the Report on the Development of Association Standards (2020) was published. The report, compiled by CNIS, uses data and typical cases to analyse the state of play and the characteristics of the development of association standards. Therefore, the report represents a useful reference to understand the overall development of association standards in China.

The report consists of three parts and nine chapters, covering three main aspects of association standards: (i) policies and data of association standards; (ii) cases of social associations; and (iii) cases of association standards.

Specifically, the policies and data of association standards are illustrated in two separate chapters, through summaries and graphs compiled based on information from the National Association Standard Information Platform.

Case studies are also provided on 40 relatively active social associations, selected from the National Association Standard Information Platform as representative cases. They provide insights on the characteristics and takeaways of their standardisation efforts and practices.

Finally, case studies on various association standards are also provided, particularly in fields such as fiber core switching robots, building materials, automotive aftermarket, electric motors, green manufacturing and intelligent transportation. The case studies illustrate their overall development, publication and implementation process and experience.
