National
Standardization Committee Has Put Forward
New Measures |
 |
|
|
|
|
1, Over 200 standardization
technical committees and over 400
subcommittees are cleaned up and
rectified in an all-round way. Some
are withdrawn; some are amalgamated;
some are suspended; and some are
re-elected.
2, Management methods of the
National Technical Committee of
Specialty Standardization are come
into force, and modification of Law
of Standardization is put on the
agenda of People’s Congress.
3, Application for standard
plan on Internet is realized,
follow-up management methods through
Internet are constituted.
4, Adoptions of international
standards and advanced foreign
standards are raised to an
unprecedented height, and a new
upsurge is started. At present, the
atmosphere of “paying attention to
standards, studying standards and
applying standards” is forming all
through the country. More and more
enterprises start to dominate the
market by applying standards, and
more and more consumers also begin
to protect themselves by applying
standards.

China
National Technical Committee of Standardization for
Packaging （SAC／TC 49）
Founded in 1985, China National Technical Committee
of Standardization for Packaging is responsible for
packaging standardization work in the national
packaging industry, such as basic standards, method
standards, and comprehensive standards of packaging
container and material, etc.
The present China National Technical Committee of
Standardization for Packaging is in its third
session. Four technical subcommittees are
established subordinately, including technical
subcommittee for packaging bag, packaging machinery,
metal container and glass container. |

Main Task of the Third China National Packaging
Technology Standardization Committee
1.To study, analyze, reinforce and perfect the
present packaging standard system;
2.To accelerate the formulation and amendment of
important and imperative standards, focusing on the
adjustment of packaging industry structure.
3.To accelerate the formulation and amendment of
technical standard, and to establish our own
technical standard system.
4.To analyze and study international standards in an
all-round way, and to apply those suitable for our
country.
5.To launch investigation, collection, study and
adoption of other countries’ packaging technical
laws and regulations, and to formulate
countermeasures.
6.To participate in more international
standardization activities.
7.To train a group of professionals as soon as
possible, who are familiar with international
standard rules, and foreign languages.
8.To reinforce publicization and implementation of
packaging standards. |

Domestic Packaging Standard System
Our present domestic packaging standard system is
consisting of three categories:
The first category is the basic standard of
packaging, including guiding principles, packaging
mark, packaging dimension, packaging term, packaging
environment and condition, experimental method of
transport packages, technique and method of
packaging, packaging design, quality guarantee of
packaging, packaging management and packaging
recycle, etc. Since the standard of delivery vehicle
such as the dimension of fork-vehicle is closely
related to packaging, it is put in the first
category as the related standard of packaging
standard system. The first category is applied to
the whole packaging industry.
The second category is professional standard of
packaging, including packaging material, packaging
container, containers packaging, decoration and
printing, packaging equipment and machinery. The
category is only applied to a certain specialty of
packaging industry.
The third category is products packaging standard
classified according to products. It includes
totally twenty categories, which are machinery,
electronic industry, light industry, post and
telecommunication, textile industry, chemical
industry, construction material, medicine, food,
aquaculture, agriculture, metallurgical industry,
transportation, railways, commerce, energy sources,
weapons, aerospace industry, goods and materials and
dangerous articles. |

Situation and characteristics of national packaging
standard
There are about 500 items of all kinds of national
packaging standard at present in our country. They
are 2 items of guiding principles of packaging
standardization work, 12 items of standards of
packaging technical term, 11 items of standards of
packaging dimension, 11 items of standards of
packaging marks, 19 items of standards of packaging
technology and management, 74 items of standards of
packaging material, 28 items of basic experimental
standards of transport packages, 169 items of
experimental method standards of packaging material,
74 items of standards of packaging container, 21
items of standards of packaging machinery, 6 items
of standards of packaging decoration, 152 items of
standards of product packaging, mark, transport and
storage, and 21 items of other related standards.
Considering contents the standards referring to,
they have generally met the requirements of
packaging and related industries to standards. A
relatively complete standardization system has been
formed.
Considering the levels of the standards, some of
them have reached the international advanced level,
but most of them still have quite a gap compared
with standards of developed countries. For example,
there are still some problems, such as outdated
standards, poor serviceability, uncoordination with
related standards and inadaptability to market
demands.
Considering the adoption rate of packaging
standards, it is only about 50%, which is lower than
the one of other industries. Experimental method
standard is more universal than other standards, it
is much easier to be in line with international
standard. So, its adoption rate is the highest. As
for product standard, there is a lack of measures of
inquiry and retrieval, people have no knowledge of
related standard of foreign countries, so standard
adoption rate is comparatively low.
At present, main existing problems of China’s
national packaging standard are:
1, Standard system is not sound. With the
development and change of our national economic
system, market and trade, original system cannot
fulfill demands of present national economy.
Packaging standard system should be modified as soon
as possible to make it more reasonable and sound, as
well as to play the guiding role in market. The
problems need to be resolved promptly.
2, The quality of standard is not high, and the
serviceability is under reinforcement．Mainly,
standard content is not quite reasonable and sound;
coordination between standards is not sufficient,
they are not systematized; the serviceability is
laying more stress on form than content; further
research is also lacking, and phenomenon of
imitating and copying indiscriminately is serious;
publicizing and implementing of standards are not in
depth; scientific research work and capability are
weak; organizations of Standardization Committee are
too decentralized, etc. |
