On 19 April 2023, the Standardization Administration of China released the Annual Report on Standardization Development in China (2022). It reviews the China’s Standardization in the past year with comprehensive statistics.
Standards, as an important part of a China’s basic system, provide technical support for economic activities and social development. Standardization plays a fundamental and leading role in modernizing a country’s governance system and governance capacity. In particular, as a key innovation resource, the level of standardization serves as a reflection of the innovation activity and maturity of market entities as well as of an indicator of economic and social development. In 2022, China’s government departments across the country worked to implement the National Standardization Development Outline by pursuing high-quality development of standards system, enhancing the capability of market entities to innovate on standards, and promoting institutional opening-up with regard to standards. They have played an active role in facilitating high-tech innovation, promoting high-level opening-up and sound development.
The report consists of three parts: the overview of standardization statistics, key outcomes, and outlook for the future development. For the translation of the full report, please click SESEC Translation-Annual Report on Standardization Development in China （2022）
