        The Symposium on strategic work of China Standardization expert committee, "China standard 2035" project seminar and academic meeting of China Standardization expert committee were held on October 24 during IEC conference in Shanghai and October 28 during Qingdao International Standardization Forum. Tian Shihong, deputy director of the General Administration of market supervision and director of the standards committee, attended the meeting and delivered a speech. Wu Hequan, chairman of China Standardization expert committee, former vice president of Chinese Academy of engineering, Zhang Gang, former counsellor of the State Council, presided over the meeting. 

        Tian Shihong pointed out that China's standardization is undergoing four changes in the process of integrating into economic globalization, promoting high-quality development and serving the modernization of national governance system and governance capacity, that is, the level of the standard system architecture is changing from the unitary structure led by the government to the dual structure coordinated by the government and the market, and the standardization is developing from the industrial field to the primary, secondary and tertiary industries and social undertakings in an all-round way. The standardization work has changed from focusing on standard setting to whole process management of standard setting, implementation and supervision. The internationalization work of Chinese standards has changed from simply adopting international standards to all-round internationalization of standard collection, participation in standard setting and standardization governance. At the same time, China's standardization work also faces four major challenges: reconstruction of the standard system, innovation of the standardization system and mechanism, improvement of the standardization ability and internationalization of standards. Tian Shihong gave full affirmation to the work of the expert committee, and put forward ardent hope for the expert committee to play a good role in the standardization strategy research and other work.
