SAMR Releases Multiple National Standards to Support Market Circulation and Production Safety

Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR), together with the National Standardization Administration, approved and published a series of important national standards covering areas such as market circulation, energy conservation and environmental protection, and production safety.

SAMR released 29 standards for market circulation, covering electronic commerce, product barcodes, and knowledge management, which aim to promote the circulation and trade of goods. Nine logistics standards were issued—such as for logistics pallets and cold chain logistics for aquatic products—to enhance logistical efficiency. Three credit supervision standards were released to improve the effectiveness of credit-based regulation. In the field of energy conservation and environmental protection, five standards were issued, including those on formaldehyde energy consumption and energy efficiency for solar water heaters, to drive energy saving and carbon reduction. Thirteen traffic safety standards were published to support green development. For production safety, four standards, including technical specifications for explosion protection of combustible dust process systems, were released to raise safety management standards. In addition, nine fire protection product standards were updated by the relevant authorities.
