The Chinese market is an important stage for the world’s equipment manufacturing industry, and Chinese manufacturing is also an important component of the development of the world’s manufacturing industry. With the increasingly prominent issues of contemporary resources and ecological environment, green and sustainable development has become a global development strategic goal. How can China’s green “engine” promote the sustainable development of the world’s manufacturing industry?
On July 14, 2021, the establishment meeting of the Sustainable Development Sub Technical Committee of the National Earthmoving Machinery Standardization Technical Committee (hereinafter referred to as the “Sub Committee”) was held in Xuzhou, Jiangsu. The establishment of a branch is the best answer to the above questions.
The Sustainable Development Sub Technical Committee of the National Standardization Technical Committee for Earthmoving Machinery has been established
Embrace challenges together! The Chinese standard of courage and responsibility
At present, domestic and foreign earth moving machinery manufacturing enterprises have gradually implemented sustainable development strategies, but there is still a lack of systematic research on sustainable development standards in the design, manufacturing, recycling and reuse stages of the product lifecycle. A complete system of sustainable development standards for earth moving machinery has not yet been established, which limits the sustainable and healthy development of the earth moving machinery industry.
The establishment of the branch is the responsibility and practice of Chinese manufacturing in facing global sustainable development issues
In 2020, the National Earthmoving Machinery Standardization Technical Committee (hereinafter referred to as the Standardization Committee) submitted a proposal report to the International Organization for Standardization ISO/TC l27 “Earthmoving Machinery Technical Committee” to establish the ISO/TC127/SC5 “Sustainable Development Sub Technical Committee”. Nowadays, the establishment of the branch is not only a guide and assistance for the sustainable future development direction of earth moving machinery in China and even globally, but also reflects China’s responsibility and practice as a manufacturing giant in facing global sustainable development issues.
Rampage the foundation and build the platform! Chinese standards for seeking development
Research by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development shows that standards and product conformity assessment affect 80% of global investment and trade, and technical standards can promote economic globalization and investment facilitation. It can be said that standards are the technical basis for economic and social activities, playing an irreplaceable role in reducing trade costs, promoting technological innovation, and enhancing communication and mutual trust. Throughout the years, China has been in the stage of following up on the revision of most global manufacturing standards, including earthmoving machinery.
In 2017, the Standards Committee was responsible for drafting two international standards, ISO 10987-2: “Sustainability of Earth moving Machinery Part 2: Remanufacturing” and ISO 10987-3: “Sustainability of Earth moving Machinery Part 3: Second hand Machines”, which were officially published and distributed. They established internationally recognized, scientifically reasonable, operable, and economical technical specifications in the field of earth moving machinery remanufacturing and second-hand machinery. It can be foreseen that in the future, the branch will further promote the sustainable development standards of earth moving machinery by building a communication platform through technical standards, intervening in international standard revision activities as soon as possible, mastering the discourse power of international standards, and going global with technical standards, thereby driving the promotion and application of Chinese equipment, Chinese brands, Chinese technology, and Chinese services overseas. This will become an important model for consolidating foundations and promoting the sustainable and high-quality development of China’s equipment manufacturing industry.
Build a platform and gather strength! Gan is the Chinese standard for “engines”
The branch secretariat is undertaken by Jiangsu Xugong Engineering Machinery Research Institute Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Xugong Research Institute), and is managed and guided by the China Machinery Industry Federation on a daily basis.
As a leading enterprise in construction machinery in China, XCMG has always attached great importance to standardization work, convening and participating in the formulation of 6 international standards, leading and participating in the formulation of more than 200 national and industry standards, and covering more than 13000 standards at all levels in the standard system. XCMG Research Institute has conducted in-depth research in green design, green manufacturing, remanufacturing, reuse, recycling, and full life cycle assessment. It has led and participated in the formulation of 47 national standards and 19 industry standards for earthmoving machinery, promoting the sustainable development and industrialization process of the earthmoving machinery industry.
The branch secretariat is undertaken by XCMG Research Institute
As the responsible unit of the branch secretariat, XCMG Research Institute hopes to work together with various groups in the earth moving machinery industry chain to unify the planning and management of standardization work for the sustainable development of earth moving machinery, promote the research and industrialization of key technologies for the sustainable development of earth moving machinery in China, and contribute “Chinese wisdom” on the road to aligning with international sustainable development standards.
I believe that in the process of closer cooperation between the branch and the International Organization for Standardization, and on the path of deeper integration and promotion with international sustainable development standards, the promotion of the branch and its technical standards for sustainable development of earth moving machinery will not only greatly promote the healthy and sustainable development of China’s manufacturing industry, but also become the technological “engine” for the sustainable development of earth moving machinery worldwide.
To develop compacted foundations and build platforms for sustainable development! The establishment of the branch has sounded a new horn for the sustainable development of earth moving machinery and opened a new journey for high-quality development in the industry. The future of sustainable development of earth moving machinery is promising.
The policy of "quality first, first-class service" has established a good image among users in multiple industries across the country. With professional technical strength and advanced management mode, we gather the strengths of many, leverage our own advantages, and move forward at a better, newer, and faster pace
