The Chinese Institute of Electronics will prioritize the establishment of an "agile and iterative" mechanism for standard development, reinforce a "full-chain" collaborative ecosystem, deepen an "application-oriented" implementation mechanism for standards, and drive the creation of a "leading" standard system. Xie Shaofeng, Chairman of the Standardization Committee, noted that the committee will concentrate on pivotal areas to drive breakthroughs, such as open-source projects, and expedite the development of a comprehensive standard system. The Secretariat of the Standardization Committee will be based at the Chinese Institute of Electronics. Committee members comprise representatives from government agencies, universities, research institutions, and renowned industry enterprises, with enterprise members constituting over 50% of the total.
