In end September of 2024, SAC/TC20 (Energy Fundamentals and Management) successively issued notice on 27th and 29th to call for drafting units for two mandatory national standards:
Project No. | Standard Name | Scope and Main Contents | Significance |
20242196-Q-469 | Minimum allowable values of energy efficiency and energy efficiency grades for centrifugal pump units for fresh water | It specifies energy efficiency limit value, energy efficiency grade, energy efficiency calculation and testing method of clean water centrifugal pump group. | Energy efficiency standards are an important and effective measure for the government to implement energy conservation management, improve energy utilization efficiency, and standardize the market of energy-using products under the conditions of market economy. Energy efficiency standards are also the technical basis for the national energy efficiency labeling system and energy-saving product certification system. It is of great significance to revise and maintain the advanced nature of the standard technical content in time. |
20242204-Q-469 | Minimum allowable values of energy efficiency and energy efficiency grades for data storage devices | Data storage devices defined by this standard are those used to store data and process data read and write operations, covering block storage and file storage. Block access storage and file access storage refer to the types of services typically provided by storage area network (SAN) and network Attached storage (NAS) systems, respectively. Other storage products are not covered by the standard. |
Both standards are mandatory standards and are planned to be drafted without any international standard adoption. These two standards are expected by the TC to be finished
Qualifications required by both standards as drafting units are specified as:
Candidates should be aware that once approved as drafting unit, they should provide timely and continuous technical assistance and other necessary support for the formulation of national standards.
The applicant should have intermediate or above professional titles or corresponding management positions.
The applicant should have work experience related to the standard topic, and be able to participate in the drafting of standards as required, and those with national standard drafting experience are preferred.
For foreign stakeholder and MNCs, the drafting unit recruiting deadline for the standards are:
The one for centrifugal pump units for fresh water: October 15, 2024
The one for data storage devices: October 31, 2024
Relevant and qualified stakeholders are advised to apply as it is a good channel to participate in China’s standard system and a convenient opportunity to communicate.
