Currently, developed economies such as the United States, the European Union, and Japan view the new materials industry as a strategic priority and have established comprehensive standardization systems to promote innovation and application of new materials technologies. However, China's new materials standard system is still underdeveloped, facing issues such as missing standards and outdated updates, which hinder the healthy development of the new materials industry. Therefore, establishing and improving the "Made-in-China" (referred to as "中制") standard system is urgently needed to enhance China's competitiveness in the new materials sector and to promote high-quality industrial development.

The establishment and development of a new materials standard system can not only strengthen the competitiveness of Chinese new materials products in the international market but also facilitate the upgrading and transformation of the industry, driving the structural shift towards higher-end, smarter, and greener directions. Moreover, a unified and high-standard system ensures product quality, protects consumer rights, and boosts consumer confidence in domestically produced new materials products.

Currently, international new materials standard systems exhibit diverse characteristics. For example, the United States emphasizes market-driven and private-sector-led approaches, while the EU focuses on overall coordination and the development of key enabling technologies. Japan places a high value on continually updating materials standards and government support. China is also actively building its own new materials standard system, highlighting top-level design and government guidance.

China has several advantages in the construction of its new materials standard system, including a globally leading industrial foundation and strong government policy support. However, there are also challenges such as insufficient innovation capabilities, low participation in international standard-setting, and suboptimal industrial structures.

To improve and develop the " Made in China " standard system, we should adopt a series of comprehensive measures:

1. Bottom-Up Standardization Mechanism: Construct a market-oriented standardization mechanism that encourages participation from private organizations and enterprises in the development of standards.

2. International Alignment: Strengthen alignment with international standards to enhance the global applicability and influence of Chinese standards.

3. Government-Enterprise-Research Collaboration: Enhance cooperation among governments, enterprises, and research institutions to jointly promote the development and application of new materials technologies.

4. Focus on Key Technologies: Emphasize the development of key technologies such as nanotechnology, biotechnology, and advanced manufacturing technologies to boost autonomous innovation capabilities.

5. Policy Support: Implement supportive policies to encourage enterprise participation in standard development and revision, offering incentives such as tax breaks and financial support.

6. International Exchange and Cooperation: Strengthen international exchange and cooperation to introduce advanced foreign technologies and management experiences.

Establishing and improving the "made in China" new materials standard system is essential for the development of China's new materials industry. Through optimizing the standard development mechanism, aligning with international standards, enhancing government-enterprise collaboration, and boosting autonomous innovation capabilities, we can promote the healthy, orderly, and sustainable development of the new materials industry. Looking ahead, China's new materials standard system will play an increasingly important role in the global new materials field, providing strong support for the optimization and upgrade of China's industrial structure and the high-quality development of its economy.
