提升标准化开放水平是推动"一带一路"建设和形成全面开放新格局的要求。南非作为"一带一路"重要端点,在非洲尤其是南部非洲标准制定中具有决定性话语权,认识、把握南非标准化开展情况、同南非开展标准化国际合作对中国技术、产品、服务进入南非和其他非洲国家市场十分关键和必要。本文根据6407份南非国家标准,总结了南非标准化工作的特点与趋势,剖析了南非"赶超型"标准化战略的重点任务和发展路径,并提出中南标准化合作的对策建议。在与南非开展标准化合作中,作者建议制定南非专项计划和政策措施,完善标准化合作政策环境,推动共同制定国际标准,加强两国标准化人才交流及能力建设,扩大标准信息共享,鼓励企业参与南非标准制修订工作。
