Analysis of the Role of Compulsory Standards in the Economic Development of China

Abstract

Compulsory standards, as a kind of specifications on technical issues and behaviors requiring compulsory execution, play a threshold and baseline role in the economic development of China. They are important forms of technical regulations in China, important means for regulating economic and social order, as well as main components of technical trade measures, so they play an important role in maintaining the normal operation of economy and society in China. However, there are still many problems, including broad preparation scope, absence of hierarchy, imperfect formulation procedures, absence of feedback mechanism, unreasonable management system, and imperfect promotion mechanism; therefore, in the future reform of compulsory standards, we shall focus on reforming the management system of compulsory standards, and strictly formulating the procedures and strengthening the implementation and supervision.
