China News Service, Hangzhou, October 18 (Lan Yini) From October 17th to 18th, the founding meeting and the first plenary committee meeting of the National Extremely Weak Magnetic Technology and Application Standardization Working Group (SAC/SWG44) (hereinafter referred to as the "Working Group") was held in Hangzhou, marking that the standardization work in the field of extremely weak magnets has entered a new stage of systematization, standardization, and internationalization.
It is reported that extremely weak magnetism is a magnetic field with extremely low intensity and extremely difficult to measure. As a cutting-edge technology for exploring the microscopic world and sensing weak signals, extremely weak magnetic technology has great strategic value in the fields of life and health, deep space exploration, national defense and security.
Previously, superconducting quantum interferometers used for extremely weak magnetic field detection had to rely on liquid helium to create an ultra-low-temperature working environment. The equipment was large and costly, making it difficult to promote it industrially. In recent years, China has made a series of key technological breakthroughs in related fields, laying the foundation for standardization work.
It is understood that the working group was established with the approval of the National Standardization Administration Committee. The secretariat is jointly undertaken by the Zhejiang Institute of Quality Sciences and the Hangzhou National Major Scientific and Technological Infrastructure Research Institute for Extremely Weak Magnetic Fields. It will build a collaborative mechanism for technology research and development, standard development, and industrial promotion, and promote the establishment of extremely weak magnetic related standardization technical institutions in international standardization organizations.
The working group is the first national-level standardization technical organization in the field of extremely weak magnetic fields in China. Fang Jiancheng, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and chief scientist of the Hangzhou National Major Scientific and Technological Infrastructure Research Institute for Extremely Weak Magnetic Fields, serves as the chairman. 42 top experts from scientific research institutes, universities, medical institutions, and enterprises formed the first committee, bringing together the forces of industry, academia, and research.
Fang Jiancheng said that it is necessary to give full play to the functions of the working group, promote the transformation of the latest scientific research results in the field of extremely weak magnetism into standards as soon as possible, lead the research and development and industrial application of extremely weak magnetism technology with high-level standards, accelerate the construction of a standard system covering key aspects such as basic terminology, measurement methods, device performance and medical applications, and actively plan a new track for international standards, and transform China's technological advantages in the field of extremely weak magnetism into standards advantages and international voice.
This national standard platform was settled in Zhejiang, benefiting from Zhejiang's first-mover advantages and pioneering experience in standardization reform in the field of extremely weak magnetism. Zhejiang is the country's first national standardization comprehensive reform pilot province and has accumulated rich practices in standardization innovation and standard industry integration. With the accelerated layout of the International Zero Magnetic Science Valley and the clinical application of cardio-cerebral magnetic imaging equipment relying on extremely weak magnetic technology, the local area has opened up a complete link from basic research to industrial transformation.
At present, Zhejiang is implementing special actions to help cutting-edge tracks complete the transformation of technology, patents, standards, and the entire industry chain. The establishment of the working group marks the shift from decentralized exploration to systematic establishment of China's extremely weak magnetic field, which will provide solid support for the high-quality development of the industry in Zhejiang and even the country in the future.
