The State Administration for Market Regulation has issued the "Measures for the Administration of National Standards"

Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation released the revised "Measures for the Administration of National Standards" (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"), which will be officially implemented on March 1, 2023.

In order to implement the requirements of the Standardization Law of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the Standardization Law), the National Standardization Development Outline, and the State Council's Reform Plan for Deepening Standardization Work, and to standardize the formulation, implementation, and supervision of national standards, the State Administration for Market Regulation has organized revisions to the original Measures. The revision of the Measures mainly includes the following four aspects. One is to implement the construction of the national standard system. Based on the newly revised Standardization Law and combined with the practice of national standardization work, the specific scope of national standards has been adjusted. The second is to standardize the formulation and management of national standards, further clarifying the procedures for the formulation of national standards and the work requirements at each stage. Thirdly, in order to meet the growing demand for standards and improve the internationalization level of standards, new requirements for the formulation and revision procedures, organizational management, and implementation supervision of national standards have been clarified. Fourthly, in order to promote the effective implementation of national standards, the feedback mechanism and standard update mechanism from implementation to formulation have been further improved.

After the promulgation and implementation of the Measures, more effective working mechanisms and practices will be formed in the management and promotion of national standards, better supporting and ensuring the development of national standard work.
