Adam Smith believed that exchange is the cause of social division of labor, and social division of labor is the result of exchange. Commerce is the industry engaged in exchange, and it also promotes the refinement of industrial division of labor, economic structural adjustment, and continuous social progress.
The market is the place where exchange takes place. To achieve lower costs, higher efficiency, and larger scale exchange, it is necessary to continuously refine the division of labor and realize standardization according to the needs of exchange, enabling replicable, measurable, assessable, and large-scale production of goods and services.
Economic development requires standards, and social management also requires standards. Resource conservation and sustainable development need standards, and environmental protection and green low-carbon also need standards. In short: standardization is the foundation of modernization. Without standardization, modernization is impossible.
The theme of China's "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" is scientific development, with the main line being the acceleration of the transformation of the economic development mode. Our previous development mode was low-cost resources and priceless environment. Such a development mode will make our development costs increasingly high, the price of development increasingly large, the space for development increasingly small, and the path of development narrower and narrower.
To earnestly implement scientific standards, we must achieve scientific standard formulation. As the saying goes, "It is hard to satisfy everyone." With the improvement of living standards, it is necessary to formulate unified standards for common basic needs, while also leaving ample space for diversified, personalized, and localized needs. Standardization work must also continuously innovate and develop under the guidance of the scientific outlook on development.
