Historic breakthrough! Chinese experts will for the first time host the revision of international standards in the field of reference materials.

Today, reporters learned that the proposed revisions to the international standard "General Requirements for the Competence of Reference Material/Reference Standard Producers" initiated by Chinese experts have been approved by the International Organization for Standardization. This is a crucial step taken by China in the field of international standardization of qualifications, marking a historic breakthrough in the international standardization of reference materials in China. Reference materials/standards, as important bases for laboratory measurement and quality control, are crucial foundations for ensuring the accuracy, consistency, and traceability of measurement results. They are widely used in areas such as environmental monitoring, food safety, healthcare, industrial production, and scientific research. They not only reflect the level of measurement technology, but also serve as important indicators of a country's measurement capabilities and international competitiveness.
