From “products going overseas” to “standards going overseas”, Guangdong promotes the implementation of Chinese standards overseas

China News Service, Guangzhou, November 3 (Reporter Sun Qiuxia) The Information Office of the Guangdong Provincial People's Government held a press conference on the results of the national standardization innovation development pilot in Guangzhou on the 3rd. Guo Yuhua, a member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Guangdong Provincial Administration for Market Regulation, introduced that in recent years, Guangdong has used standards as an important starting point to promote institutional openness, helping the industry to move steadily from "products going overseas" to "standards going overseas, and rules co-construction."

In September 2023, Guangdong Province, with the approval of the National Standardization Administration Committee, officially assumed the national standardization innovation and development pilot work for a period of three years. Since then, Guangdong has successively introduced a series of policies to jointly promote the innovative development of standardization work in various fields.

It is understood that Guangdong enterprises and institutions have carried out many explorations in promoting the "going out" of standards and accumulated a number of vivid practical cases.

Guo Yuhua introduced that Guangzhou Metro Group, relying on the construction of the Orange Line in Lahore, Pakistan, has compiled a total of 126 operation and maintenance regulations, transforming domestic mature experience into technical rules recognized by the host country. Guangdong Bangpu Recycling Technology Co., Ltd. promotes the implementation of more than ten standards including the "General Requirements for Automotive Power Battery Recycling" in its Indonesian base, and simultaneously promotes the transformation of three standards into Indonesian enterprise standards, providing strong support for the security and stability of the supply chain of the new energy vehicle industry chain.

In addition, Guangdong also participates in regional standardization cooperation. Guo Yuhua introduced that China Southern Power Grid Co., Ltd., as the Chinese supporting executive unit of the China-Laos Electricity Standards Cooperation Committee, supports China and Laos in building a bilateral cooperation system of joint construction of standards, language exchange, and talent cultivation, which effectively guarantees the stable operation of the China-Laos 500 kV interconnection project. China Southern Power Grid will also establish a Lancang-Mekong regional standardization cooperation platform with power companies in Cambodia, Thailand and other countries, and has released a total of 9 regional standardization technical reports.

In recent years, Guangdong has actively cultivated international industries and standards organizations. Guo Yuhua introduced that Guangdong has given full play to the cross-border synergy between Shenzhen and Hong Kong in the Shenzhen Loop to build the country's first gathering area for international industry and standards organizations. It has issued a total of 310 standards and 92 professional reports in key areas of digital consumption such as wireless short-range communications, intelligent computing, and ultra-high-definition video, and completed the testing and certification of 1,051 products, effectively promoting the collaborative development of related industries around the world.
