The reporter learned from a press conference held by the State Administration for Market Regulation that starting from 2025, my country has officially launched a special project to upgrade standards in key traditional industrial fields such as building materials, machinery, and petrochemicals.
As an important basic raw material and product industry for the development of my country’s national economy, the building materials industry covers three categories: building materials, non-metallic minerals and products, and new inorganic non-metallic materials.
In this national standard upgrade, the building materials industry shoulders an important mission.
It is reported that the building materials industry will complete the development of 424 key national standards by the end of 2027.
At present, more than 120 national standards have been completed and released. The release of these standards has effectively supported the optimization and upgrading of the building materials industry.
For a long time, “unable to understand and choose unclearly” building materials products has been a problem that has troubled consumers.
In order to solve this problem, ceramic tile quality grading standards came into being.
For the first time, this standard divides the quality of building materials products into three levels from high to low: 5A, 4A, and 3A, giving consumers a clear basis for selecting materials and making the choice easier.
In addition, in response to issues such as the volatilization of toxic and harmful substances after decoration that consumers are widely concerned about, relevant departments have developed national standards such as measurement methods for the release of volatile organic compounds in decorative materials, and testing methods for the formaldehyde removal performance of photocatalytic materials and products.
These standards provide an effective methodological basis for scientifically evaluating product pollutant indicators and improving indoor air quality.
As a basic, strategic and pillar industry for the development of the national economy, the machinery industry’s national standards mainly involve basic processes, general machinery, basic parts and other fields.
Currently, the machinery industry is promoting the development of more than 800 national standards, which cover the entire industry chain of R&D and design, production and manufacturing, inspection and testing, and application services.
In the process of standard development, the machinery industry is building an intelligent equipment standard system to help realize AI intelligent maintenance and flexible production.
At the same time, a number of unmanned standards such as Beidou autonomous driving for agricultural machinery have been launched to accelerate the transformation of agricultural production from traditional manual farming to more efficient operations and unmanned operations.
This special work on standard upgrading in key traditional industries is of great significance to improving my country’s industrial competitiveness and protecting consumer rights.
With the gradual improvement and implementation of various standards, my country’s building materials and machinery industries will usher in healthier and sustainable development.
