Emerging industries should formulate their own industry standards as soon as possible, which is not only a reflection of the technical capabilities of the industry, but also the need for high-quality development of the industry.
Solving the problem of "is there" a unified standard is a must-answer question for emerging industries.
How to implement industry standards, how to keep pace with the times, and how to benchmark against international standards will affect the further development and growth of the industry.
According to the "Worker's Daily" report on March 21, a new energy vehicle has three sets of battery life standards.
The reporter's investigation found that there are at least 3 sets of battery life standards for new energy vehicles on the market, and the test methods for each set of standards are different.
Some car companies use different standards for the mileage marking of different vehicles; some car companies use one set of standards for publicity, and another set of standards for real vehicles.
It is difficult for car owners to figure out the difference between each set of standards, which is prone to misjudgment of battery life.
Industry standards are one of the technical supports for economic activities and social development.
Developed countries in the world take standardization as a strategic tool, formulate and implement standardization strategies, and attach great importance to the formulation of international standards.
Whether there is a unified and authoritative standard is a sign of measuring the maturity of the industry.
Taking the well-known bottled water as an example, my country's bottled water market was once full of concepts and various names. Since 2015, the "National Food Safety Standard Packaged Drinking Water" has been implemented, which stipulates that one or several ingredients other than water shall not be named and packaged for drinking. After the water, the chaos of bottled water "flower names" has been curbed, and the market has become more standardized.
In recent years, my country has continuously deepened the standardization reform, successively promulgated and implemented a series of regulations, systems and measures such as the Standardization Law and the Standardization Work Reform Plan, and established more than 1,300 national standardization professional technical committees.
As of 2021, my country has issued more than 40,000 national standards, more than 76,000 industry standards, more than 53,000 local standards, and about 30,000 group standards.
In reality, some industries often have a stage of brutal growth in the early stage of development, and the product standards are mostly self-talking by enterprises.
The annual cumulative sales of new energy vehicles in my country has ranked first in the world for seven consecutive years, and the industry is entering a new stage of large-scale and rapid development.
However, like many emerging industries, the development of the new energy vehicle industry is also constrained by the lack of unified standards.
In the absence of unified standards and standardized construction, emerging industries that are rapidly gaining popularity seem to be built on a mirage to some extent.
The lack of industry standards will lead to mixed and even vicious competition in the market, and is not conducive to industry coordination, integration and growth.
For example, the cold chain industry involves multiple industries such as vehicles, refrigeration, food, and logistics. If each uses its own standards, the entire industry chain cannot be connected.
Not only that, the lack of uniform standards in the industry will also lead to the lack of a strong grasp of the regulatory authorities, which is not conducive to the development of regulatory work.
The growth of emerging industries is inseparable from the guidelines and norms of industry standards, which are the basis for the industry to get on the right track.
Relevant cases at home and abroad have also repeatedly reminded us that in order for emerging industries to gradually mature and achieve healthy and sustainable development, enterprises cannot speak their own "dialects". collaborative development.
The formulation of industry standards in emerging industries often faces a variety of problems.
In the standard application process, industry standards are generally formulated by the corresponding administrative departments, and emerging industries often have the characteristics of cross-domain and long chain. It is not easy to find the corresponding competent departments, and there may be unclear focal points and no one accepts applications. In the process of standard formulation, the iterative upgrading of new technologies in emerging industries is fast, and industry standard makers must have sufficient forecasts for the development of new technologies in the future to avoid the occurrence of insufficient technological advancement in industry standards, or modification, Adjustment cannot keep up with the speed of technological update; after the standard is formulated, it is necessary to consider whether it can be implemented in place. If some standards are formulated very strictly, but there is a lack of widely recognized testing methods, it may lead to the standard being shelved.
Relevant departments may wish to organize relevant industry institutions, enterprises, and experts to learn from international experience, strengthen basic research on emerging industries, find out industry laws, listen to corporate voices, and learn more about public appeals, so that industry standards are both scientific and operational.
The stronger the standard, the stronger the industry.
Emerging industries should formulate their own industry standards as soon as possible, which is not only a reflection of the technical capabilities of the industry, but also the need for high-quality development of the industry.
Solving the problem of whether there is a unified standard is a must-answer for emerging industries.
How to implement industry standards, how to keep pace with the times, and how to benchmark against international standards will affect the further development and growth of the industry.
