During the forum, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), regional standard organizations in Europe, Africa and the Americas and other well-known domestic and foreign experts and executives jointly issued the Qingdao Initiative for International Standards Supporting Green, Low-Carbon and High-quality Development. The Standardization Administration of China and AFSEC signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation. The ISO, the Standardization Administration of China and the Qingdao government signed a cooperation agreement to build a training base on international standardization in the near future.
A pioneer in the implementation of a standardization development strategy in China and the host of three sessions of the standardization forum, Qingdao has always been at the forefront to deepen standardization work.
The forum helps improve Qingdao's level of opening-up through the introduction of advanced technologies and innovative models into international standards.
Qingdao has 25 secretariats of international and domestic standards organizations, ranking first in China in terms of total number. The city has nearly 100 international standardization experts and over 500 domestic professionals in the field.
Gao Shanwu, secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the Qingdao Administration for Market Regulation, said the forum represents the highest-level international event in China's standardization and is a high-end platform for cooperation on international standardization.
"Giving full play to the soft power and core competitiveness of the standardization conference city, Qingdao has made significant progress," said Gao.
