On May 7, 2020, SAMR and MIIT issued a notice of reconstitution of the National Intelligent Manufacturing Standardization Coordination Group, General Working Group and Advisory Group, with a list of new members of each group.

The three groups were established in 2016, aiming to facilitate the construction of the intelligent manufacturing standardization system, coordinate different departments, and guide the transformation, upgrading, quality- and efficiency-improving of Made in China 20205.

The responsibilities of the National Intelligent Manufacturing Standardization Coordination Group include:

  1. Coordinating and guiding the intelligent manufacturing standardization work at home and abroad;
  2. Developing China’s intelligent manufacturing standardization plans, systems, policies and measures;
  3. Coordinating and addressing major issues in the development, revision and implementation of standards;
  4. Supervising and inspecting the implementation of intelligent manufacturing standardization work at home and abroad.

 

The responsibilities of the National Intelligent Manufacturing Standardization General Working Group include:

  1. Under the guidance of the Coordination Group, carrying out standardization work of intelligent manufacturing and developing China’s intelligent manufacturing standardization plans, systems, policies and measures;
  2. Coordinating the technical content and management of relevant national standards for intelligent manufacturing;
  3. Carrying out pilot demonstrations, application, implementation and promotion of national standards for intelligent manufacturing;
  4. Organizing participation in international standardization of intelligent manufacturing and carrying out international standardization exchanges and cooperation.

 

The responsibilities of the National Intelligent Manufacturing Standardization Advisory Group include:

  1. Providing consultation service for the development of plans, systems, policies and measures for intelligent manufacturing standards;
  2. Providing advice on the development, pilots, and implementation of intelligent manufacturing standards at home and abroad;
  3. Providing technical support and consultation service for the other two groups.

 

The main changes of the reconstitution are as follows.

  1. Promoting the Coordination Group leader from vice administrator of SAC and department chief of MIIT, to administrator of SAC and deputy minister of MIIT. This ensures more efficient coordination of intelligent manufacturing standardization work in the future.
  2. The number of members is on the rise. The number of technical committees in the Group increased from 13 to 20, research institutions and associations increased from 21 to 32, and the number of enterprises participating in the Group grew from 13 to 32. In particular, there are some foreign enterprises allowed to join, including 3 European companies. This indicates that the intelligent manufacturing standardization work in China has expanded and become more open, a satisfying progress in going global. What remains unchanged is that the leading organization of the General Working Group is still CESI.
