IEC international standards promotion center is located in “China energy valley” in Nanjing. In the future, it will accelerate the improvement of China’s carbon neutral standard system for carbon peak, and promote international standards to better support sustainable development. On August 20, the 2022 International Standardization Conference was opened in Nanjing Qilin science and technology innovation park. It is another important international conference in the field of standardization held in China after the 83rd International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) conference. At the opening ceremony, as the first branch of IEC in China, IEC international standards Promotion Center (Nanjing) was officially established< Br > < div class = "height" > < / div > standards are the universal language in the world. IEC is known as the “United Nations in the field of electrical engineering” and is responsible for the international standardization work in the field of electrical engineering and electronic engineering. Together with the international organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), IEC is called the three most authoritative international standardization organizations in the world. On this platform, IEC organized thousands of experts to jointly prepare technical rules and provide technical basis for millions of equipment and systems, which makes it possible to trade electrical and electronic products worldwide. IEC is “ubiquitous”, covering 99% of the world’s population and power generation< Br > < div class = "height" > < / div > at the opening ceremony, Shu Yinbiao, chairman of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering and chairman of China Huaneng Group, said that China has always been an important participant and contributor to international standards. Over the years, China has actively performed its duties as a permanent member of IEC, and the international standardization level has been significantly improved. Under the guidance of the “double carbon” goal, China is continuously deepening its cooperation with IEC and other international standards organizations, actively promoting the establishment of a carbon neutral standard system for carbon peak, building a conformity assessment service platform that is in line with international standards, and promoting green and low-carbon development through standardization< Br > < div class = "height" > < / div > Shu Yinbiao stressed that standards are playing an increasingly important role in promoting scientific and technological innovation, promoting international exchanges and facilitating trade exchanges, and have become a key element of the global governance system. In recent years, based on the new situation and new requirements, IEC has continuously opened up a new situation in the work of international standards. Among them, IEC has vigorously promoted the green transformation of energy, launched the strategic planning for the next decade, included the themes of carbon neutrality, energy transformation and zero carbon power system in the strategic planning, cultivated and formed a large number of international standards, and led the green scientific and technological revolution< IMG ALT = "IEC international standards Promotion Center (Nanjing)" style = "width: 600px;" src=" https://imagecloud.thepaper.cn/thepaper/image/211/870/910.jpeg ">
IEC international standards Promotion Center (Nanjing) was established < / P > the national standardization development outline issued by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council in October 2021 has greatly expanded the scope and depth of China’s standardization work It is pointed out that standards are the technical support for economic activities and social development, and an important aspect of the national basic system. It is necessary to improve the internationalization level of standards and realize the transformation of standardization work from domestic driving to domestic and international mutual promotion. By 2025, standardization will more effectively promote the comprehensive competitiveness of the country, promote high-quality economic and social development, and play a greater role in building a new development pattern< Br > < div class = "height" > < / div > the construction of the standard system is also one of the key infrastructures for the implementation of the “double carbon” goal. Policy documents such as the “14th five year plan” and the long-term goal outline for 2035 all put forward clear requirements for establishing and improving the standard system of carbon peak and carbon neutralization< Br > < div class = "height" > < / div > it is reported that IEC international standards Promotion Center (Nanjing) is the first branch established in China after being reviewed and approved by the 85th IEC conference. It is mainly responsible for the international standardization related work planned by IEC in China. It is an important platform for international standards exchange and cooperation, an important base for China to participate in international standardization cooperation, and an important carrier for the growth of international standardization talents< Br > < div class = "height" > < / div > the promotion center will comprehensively carry out major strategic research on international standards, lead the development direction of global key and hot fields, and promote the innovation and development of new energy, new technology, new industry and new business forms by regularly holding international standards conferences, carrying out research and development and application promotion of international standards, strengthening the training of international standards personnel, and establishing international standards expert workshops; Serve more Chinese experts and enterprises to participate in IEC work, provide guidance and services for Chinese enterprises and experts to carry out international standardization research, project incubation, standard development and application, and support the formulation of more international standards in carbon emission and other fields led by China; Explore and innovate the international standardized education and training system, and vigorously promote the in-depth exchange and cooperation in various fields of IEC< Br > < div class = "height" > < / div > China’s contribution to international standards continues to rise. It is understood that at present, China has undertaken the Secretariat work of 11 IEC technical committees or sub technical committees, participated in the preparation of all IEC strategic white papers, and led the preparation of 7 of them. From 2012 to 2021, the number of IEC technical organization secretariats undertaken by China increased from 5 to 12, and the number of chairman / Vice Chairman of IEC technical organization increased from 4 to 16; The number of IEC international standards proposed and issued by China has increased from 62 to 368, an increase of 4.8 times. China has served as 160 conveners of IEC technical institutions, and the number of IEC experts has reached 2710. China is the country that has initiated the most new IEC standard proposals in the past five years.
