World Standards Day 2022- Standardization in the Digital Age

The global digital development continues to accelerate, digital transformation continues to evolve, digital technology continues to innovate, and accelerates the integration and penetration into traditional industries. The driving effect of the digital economy on global economic growth is becoming increasingly evident, becoming a key force in restructuring global factor resources, reshaping global economic structure, and changing the global competitive landscape. It is a strategic choice for a new round of technological revolution and new opportunities for industrial transformation. In recent years, China's digital economy has flourished, with the acceleration of new infrastructure construction, the deepening of digital industrialization, the acceleration of key technology research and development, and the sustained and rapid growth of industrial scale, becoming one of the main engines driving economic development. In 2021, the scale of China's digital economy has increased to 45.5 trillion yuan, accounting for 39.8% of the gross domestic product.

Internet, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain...... The development of digital technology is unprecedented in speed, scope and impact. Standardization in the digital age is playing an irreplaceable foundational role.

——Standards make information in the digital age more secure. We are intensifying the revision of information security standards, and the standard system for personal information, data algorithms, and system security protection is becoming increasingly perfect, promoting the collection, storage, interaction, and use of data with standards for greater security.

——Standards make connectivity in the digital age more efficient. We carry out standardization work on the Internet of Things, biometrics, brain computer interfaces, and other technologies to promote cross-border data flow and provide strong technical support for the intelligent interconnection of all things.

——Standards make the quality of the digital age more reliable. We focus on digital application scenarios in industries such as smart agriculture, intelligent manufacturing, and digital commerce, empowering the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries with standards, achieving product and service iteration and upgrading, and enhancing the public's sense of quality acquisition.

——Standards make the development environment of the digital age more optimized. We work together with other countries to establish international standards for cyberspace, improve digital governance rules through standards, regulate data resource circulation and transactions, promote digital international cooperation, and optimize the development environment.

Digitization is the trend of the times, and standardization should follow the trend of the digital age. We need to accelerate the digitization process of standards, strive to develop machine readable standards and open source standards, improve digital infrastructure standards, serve the development of digital society, digital government, digital governance, and digital economy, comprehensively support the construction of Digital China, and move standardization towards digitization, networking, and intelligence. With more comprehensive, better, and higher standards, we will support the construction of a more convenient, efficient, and inclusive digital era.

Realizing the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, reducing social development imbalances, promoting sustainable economic development, and mitigating climate change is a grand undertaking. To achieve this beautiful goal, it requires the cooperation of numerous partners (public and private sectors), and the use of all available tools, including the important role of international standards and conformity assessment.

The fierce struggle between humanity and the ongoing global pandemic fully demonstrates that we must promote the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in an inclusive manner, so that human society can develop towards greater resilience, fairness, and strength. Today, let us join hands and join this great cause together, adhering to the consensus of sustainable development goals to help rebuild a better world, and further promoting standards to play a more important role.

We have built a comprehensive international standard system based on joint consultation and construction, which fully demonstrates the role of unity and cooperation, and further strengthens our confidence that cooperation has made us stronger. Let us work together to provide practical and feasible solutions for human society, and better use standards to address the challenges faced in achieving sustainable development goals.

For many years, it is this spirit that has inspired us to demonstrate to the world the tremendous contribution of international standards to achieving sustainable development goals through organizing and participating in World Standards Day activities.

Let us unite and work together to achieve the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, build an international standard system that supports sustainable development, and build a better world.
