Li Changjiang, Minister of the General Administrationof Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of P.R.China (AQSIQ), Liu Pingjun, Director of SACand other related officials from the relevant departments of the State Council, professionalassociations, and the officials and representatives from enterprises of various sectors of Chinaattended the meeting.

Fundamentals of National Standardization Work in 2007

The overall requirements for standardization work in 2007 are to continuouslypush forward the implementation of the national standardization strategy, to comprehensivelyimprove the effectiveness of standardization in upgrading product quality, to promote industrialdevelopment, to save resources and build a harmonious society, and to further enhance the strategicposition of China in international trade.The latter is guided by Deng Xiaoping Theory and theimportant concept of 'Three Represents,' as well as having, 'Technological Innovation' as thedriving force, and the intensification of China's national competitive power as the core intent. Tothis end, the following tasks must be undertaken as top priorities.

China National Institute of Standardization(CNIS)

Affiliated with the General Administration of Quality Supervision and Inspection and Quarantine of the People＇s Republic of China （AQSIQ）, China National Institute of Standardization （CNIS） is a nonprofit national research body engaging in standardization research. The main responsibilities of CNIS are to conduct all-round, strategic, and comprehensive research of standardization during the development process of economy and society,

National Conference on Technological Innovation of Standardization Held in Beijing

Organized and hosted by the Standardization Administration of China, theNational Conference on Technological Innovation of Standardization was held in Beijing on March13th. In his speech at the conference, Mr. Li Chuanqing, Party Secretary of the GeneralAdministration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, called for the vigorousimplementation of technological standard- ization strategies to substantially elevate the overalllevel of Chinese standards.

Three National Standardizetion Technical Committees Authorized By SAC

In December, 2004, the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) has approved the establishments of three National Standardization Technical Committees. They are the National Standardization Technical Committees for Environmental Protection Products (SAC/TC275), for Safety Management of Agricultural Transgenic Biology (SAC/TC276) and for Testing of New Varieties of Plant (SAC/TC277).The National Standardization Technical Committee for Environmental Protection Products is responsible for the development and revision of national standards in the following fields:

Teaching Reform and Practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine Course Based on National Standard and Ideological and Political Theories Teaching in All Courses

Under the new situation,how to integrate the ideological and political theories teaching in all courses for Chinese medicine major and meet the requirements of national standards for teaching quality,improve the training quality of Chinese medicine talents and strengthen the connotative development of Chinese medicine higher education are urgent issues to be solved in Chinese medicine colleges.This paper introduces the practical experience of teaching reform of traditional Chinese medicine courses based on national standards of teaching quality and ideological and political theories teaching in all courses from the aspects of curriculum setting,teaching content,teaching methods and teaching practice,which can provide reference for teaching reform of other professional courses based on national standards of teaching quality and ideological and political theories teaching in all courses.

A Review of White Granulated Sugar Standard Development in China and Comparative Study on the Chinese White Granulated Sugar Standard with International Standard

The sugar standard implemented under specific historical conditions had played a positive role in standardizing the production of China's sugar industry,promoting the development of sugar industry and strengthening the quality management of sugar products.This paper systematically combs the development of national standard and industrial standard of white granulated sugar,and analyzes the technical requirements such as sensory indicators,physical and chemical indicators and health indicators.From the development of China's white granulated sugar product standard,the sucrose content of the same level of white granulated sugar has not been adjusted,while the standard for indexes other than sucrose content,have been improved to meet the needs of the development of China's sugar industry and the development of domestic and foreign trade.Through comparison with the international standard of white granulated sugar,it is concluded that China’s national standard of white granulated sugar has kept pace with international standard.

Uncertainty Evaluation for Comparison Result of National Radiometric Standardsand World Radiometric Reference

Theuse of data of National Radiometric Standardtook place in the WMO International Pyrheliometer Comparisons IPCXI to evaluate the expended uncertainty of the comparison resultbetweenN ational Radiometric Standards( NRS) and the World Radiometric Reference( WRR) in Davos/World Radiometric Center. The result of expended uncertaintyis 0.17%,which meets the requirements of the World Meteorological Organization( WMO) and has reached the world advanced level.In this paper,the method can be used as a reference and basis for evaluating the uncertainty of thecomparison results of the Provincial solar radiation standard.

Discussion on National Standard GB 6167"Methods for Testing the Performance of Airborne Particle Counter

Airborne pa rt icle counters are used widely to test the air cleanliness of cleanrooms. The cur rent Chinese national standard of airborne particle counter calibration, GB6167 -85, Methods for Testing the Performance of Dust Particle Counter, has kept the same for more than 10 years. It is necessary to be amended in time. This paper discusses the differences between Chinese airborne particle counter calibration procedure and other new calibration procedures in other countries, and points ou t the defects of current Chinese national standard.The draft of revised Chinese National Standard is also introduced. The new revised standard, Methods for Test ing the Performance of Airborne Particle Counter, covers two level calibrations: primary and secondary. Primary calibration procedure includes testing 6 kinds of performances:sample airflow rate, false counting, particle size accuracy and re solution, particle counting stability, counting efficiency and particle concentr ation limit. Secondary calibration is a relative comparing test method to verify the counting accuracy of calibrated airborne particle counters.Finally, how to keep the calibration traceability is suggested.

Situation of China's solar water heater industry,related national standards,testing and the Golden Sun certification program

China is the largest solar water heater producer and market in the world.Despite the fast growth and an installed capacity that accounts for the majority of the global gross,China's per capita solar hot water capacity is still very low,implying a huge margin of market potential;and the recognition of the industry in the global market is handicapped by the scattered scale of production and inconsistent product quality.To ensure continued growth of China's solar water heating(SWH) industry,Chinese Government has established a series of national SWH standards,three national testing centers,and a certification program to lay the foundation for the development of the Golden Sun product labeling system.China General Certification Center(CGC) developed the Golden Sun product certification and labeling system on a pass/fail basis evaluating with established criteria.The system was designed to help manufacturers acclimate to explicit consistent requirements and to identify and fix the deficiencies in the design and execution of the program itself.Timely revision and integration of the national standards are recommended to accommodate the test procedures and requirements to new technologies and the evolving SWH market.Strict implementation of the Golden Sun certification and labeling system are suggested to avail improving the quality control and forging internationally reputable brands of Chinese solar water heating products.
