Seven Chinese national standards for hydrogen energy that Hong Kong participated in the preparation of for the first time were released

China News Service, Beijing, October 14 (Reporter Liu Liang) The reporter learned on the 14th that China's State Administration for Market Regulation recently released a batch of national standards in the field of hydrogen energy. Among them, the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department of the Hong Kong SAR Government participated in the preparation of 7 national standards for the first time, including the "Technical Requirements for Renewable Energy Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Production System" to promote "soft connectivity" in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area through standardization.

According to the State Administration for Market Regulation, Hong Kong's Electrical and Mechanical Services Department participated in the preparation process and combined local engineering practice and safety management experience to promote the adaptation of national standards to Hong Kong's actual application scenarios, consolidate the institutional foundation for mutual recognition of testing and technology interoperability between the two places, and facilitate the coordinated development of the hydrogen energy supply chain and technical safety standards. This move will help reduce cross-border compliance costs for enterprises and promote the efficient and convenient flow of various production factors. It is an important practice in jointly building "Bay Area Standards".

According to the State Administration for Market Regulation, standards are the “universal language” for interconnection. Hong Kong's deep participation in the development of national standards is a vivid practice of collaborative innovation of the systems of the mainland and Hong Kong under the framework of "one country, two systems". In the next step, the two countries will continue to promote the co-construction and sharing of standards in the Bay Area, deepen cooperation on standards in key areas such as hydrogen energy, promote the implementation of more national standards in Hong Kong, empower the integrated construction of the Greater Bay Area with standards "soft connectivity", support Hong Kong in leveraging its own advantages, actively align with national development strategies, and share national development opportunities.
