The Overview of China’s Association Standardization Development

Abstract

With the further advancement of the reform of China's standardization work, the Association standards have developed rapidly and have been highly valued by the Chinese government and all walks of life. Compared to China's Association standards which are developed in the early stages, foreign voluntary standards systems have a long history of development. For example, the US voluntary standard system has a history of more than 100 years. This article summarizes the development of Association standardization in China from the perspective of the background, current status of policy, and development status of group standards to provide reference and assistance for standardization workers.
