For China's steel industry, efforts should be made to improve the verification capability of scientific experiments, and the problem of mutual recognition of data and standards should be solved through the development and application of digitalization." Zhang Xiaogang, former chairman of the International Organization for Standardization ISO and director of the Standardization Committee of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, pointed out that standards have become the high point of competition in the international market, and the battle of technology ultimately boils down to the battle of standards. Behind the enterprise brand value is actually quality, quality, is a higher standard, first-class enterprises to help create with standards.
In Zhang Xiaogang's view, the ultimate pursuit of high-quality development of China's steel industry is to transform through high-quality development, and truly cultivate a number of globally recognized world-class enterprises that can stand at the top of the world's industrial chain and value chain. To this end, Chinese steel enterprises should organically combine their business strategies with standardization strategies, focus on solving the innovation problem, talent problem and concept problem, and come out of the unique enterprise characteristics of the road to high-quality development.
