The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council: establish and improve carbon peak and carbon neutralization standards to raise energy consumption limits for key products

The CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the outline for the Development of National Standardization. The outline mentions the establishment and improvement of carbon peak and carbon neutralization standards. We will speed up the updating and upgrading of energy conservation standards, step up efforts to revise a number of energy consumption quotas and mandatory national standards for energy efficiency of products and equipment, raise the requirements for energy consumption quotas for key products, and expand the coverage of energy consumption quota standards. improve energy accounting, testing and certification, evaluation, audit and other supporting standards.

We will speed up the improvement of carbon emissions verification and accounting standards for regions, industries, enterprises, products, and so on. We will formulate greenhouse gas emission standards for key industries and products, and improve the standard labeling system for low-carbon products. We will improve the standards for renewable energy, and study and formulate standards for ecological carbon sequestration, carbon capture, utilization and storage. Implement the standardized upgrading project of carbon peak and carbon neutralization.

Strengthen the construction of basic standards for core basic parts, advanced basic processes, key basic materials and industrial technology

The outline mentions that we should strengthen the construction of basic standards for core basic components (components), advanced basic processes, key basic materials and industrial technology, and strengthen the development and application of basic general standards. Carry out database and other standards, improve the level of standard design, and formulate safe, reliable and international advanced general technical standards.

Enhance the stability of the industrial chain supply chain and the comprehensive competitiveness of the industry

The outline also mentions to enhance the stability of the industrial chain supply chain and the comprehensive competitiveness of the industry. Focusing on production, distribution, circulation and consumption, we will speed up the development and application of key technologies and standards for key links, key areas and key products, so as to enhance the core competitiveness of the industry. Give full play to the link and driving role of key technical standards in industrial coordination and technological cooperation, implement standardization to help key industries stabilize the chain, promote the effective convergence of upstream and downstream standards of the industrial chain, and enhance the modernization level of the industrial chain supply chain.

Carry out standardization research in the fields of artificial intelligence, quantum information, biotechnology, etc.

The outline puts forward that by 2025, the goal is to realize the transformation of standard supply from government-led to equal emphasis on the government and the market, the use of standards from industry and trade to the whole economy and society, and the standardization work from domestic drive to domestic and international mutual promotion. The development of standardization has changed from quantitative model to quality-benefit model. Standardization will more effectively promote national comprehensive competitiveness, promote high-quality economic and social development, and play a greater role in building a new development pattern. Strengthen the research on standards in key technical areas.

Standardization research is carried out in the fields of artificial intelligence, quantum information, biotechnology and so on. Synchronize deploys technology research and development, standards development and industrial promotion in technology fields with broad application prospects, such as integration of the two modernizations, new generation information technology, big data, block chain, health care, new energy, and new materials, so as to speed up the industrialization of new technologies. We will study and formulate key technical standards in the fields of intelligent ships, high-speed rail, new energy vehicles, intelligent networked vehicles and robots, and promote industrial change. Timely formulate and improve technical safety standards in biomedical research, molecular breeding, self-driving and other fields, and improve the level of safety risk management in the technical field.
