Mr. WU also proposed the work directions and main tasks of the Committee in 2023, which were adopted by participating members. Specifically, in 2023, the Committee will continue developing high-quality standards to support the electrotechnical industry’s advancement towards more advanced, intelligent and greener directions. To this end, the Committee will concentrate on intelligent, green, and service-oriented manufacturing, along with standardization activities for efficient energy utilization and product’s green design and evaluation. It will also strengthen the management of its current 68 TCs and establish new ones to address the needs of fulfilling these standardization tasks. Finally, the Committee will continue organizing appraisal and election activities to encourage good practices and deepen cooperation with other SDOs, thus expanding the influence of CEEIA standards.

Apart from the work summary and plan mentioned above, the attendees also reviewed and adopted the CEEIA Standardization Committee Working Rules. This document aims to regulate CEEIA’s association standardization activities and facilitate its healthy development in the future.
