Standardization has
played an important role in the development of China's steel industry during
the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20), and is even more critical in the
high-quality development of China's steel industry in future, according to
industry experts.
Jiang Wei, deputy
Party head of China Iron and Steel Association, said energy saving, emission
reduction and low-carbon production are key factors in the sustainable
development of the steel industry, and therefore, the industry should endeavor
to build systemic standards on those aspects to achieve high-quality and green
development.
Li Xinchuang, Party
head of China Metallurgical Industry Planning and Research Institute, said
high-quality development of the steel industry should center on technological
innovation, for which standardization is key.
They made the remarks
at a recently held forum on the industry's high-quality development and
establishment of industrial standards.
According to Li,
technological innovation includes not only the actual innovations, but also the
promotion and application of innovative scientific and technological results.
Standardization
improves the consistency in technological innovations, and thus lowers
investment and risk while improving the efficiency of technological innovation.
Leading standards can
also provide goals and motivation for technological innovation and lay the
foundation for future technological innovation, he said.
