To implement the National Standardization Development Outline and the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) for Market Regulation Modernization, SAMR announced the 2022 key areas to implement enterprise standard “forerunner” project on June 1.
SAMR has been collecting the ideas about this year’s key fields from local authorities and relevant departments to carry out the enterprise standard “forerunner” project since March. As the operation body of the “forerunner” project, China National Institute of Standardization (CNIS) aggregated suggestions on key areas and gathered experts for review.
To better support the construction of the high-quality standards system, this year’s “forerunner” project aims to boost the optimization and upgrading of industries, call for more green consumption standards, and improve the level of standards that guarantee the quality of people’s lives. The official list is expanded to 240 key areas with 40 new areas added, including logistics service, e-commerce, smart consumption devices, special equipment for deep-sea oil drilling, biomass fuel, operation service of emerging energy like hydrogen, environment conservation and monitoring service, service of care facilities, social care and support service, etc.
The announcement marked the official launch of 2022 enterprise standard “forerunner” project. CNIS will support the project implementation by collecting evaluation schemes and evaluation agencies, and carrying out relevant work like training activities.
