Development Situation And Policy Orientation Of The Iron And Steel Industry

On December 15th, the Third Member Congress of the Seventh National Wire Products Industry in 2021 hosted by the Wire Products Industry Branch of China Steel Structure Association was successfully held in Tianjin. Zhang Longqiang, Secretary of the Party Committee and Dean of the Institute of Metallurgical Industry Information Standards, was invited to attend the meeting and delivered a theme report on "New Development of the Iron and Steel Industry and Standardization of Wire Products".

1. Development Situation and Policy Orientation of the Iron and Steel Industry

Dean Zhang Longqiang first analyzed the new situation of the iron and steel industry from three aspects: the status quo of the development of the industry, the policy orientation, and the prediction for next year. He pointed out that China's iron and steel industry is an important basic raw material industry for the national economy, an important support for building a modern and powerful country, and an important field for achieving green and low-carbon development. Subsequently, he combined the relevant national policies and the spirit of "stabilizing the macroeconomic market" emphasized by the recent Central Economic Work Conference, and proposed 2022 in the context of the "triple double" of double control of production capacity and output, double control of energy consumption, and double carbon target constraints. The key work of the iron and steel industry in the year.

Dean Zhang Longqiang predicts that in 2022, as my country’s economic development faces the triple pressure of demand contraction, supply shock, and expected weakening, steel demand support will weaken, while steel export pressure will increase, and my country will continue to implement dual control of production capacity and output. The overall operating situation of the steel industry next year is still relatively good, but the downward pressure on the industry cannot be ignored. He believes that whether it is to respond to global climate change or support the high-quality development of Chinese manufacturing, the steel industry needs to accelerate the low-carbon transformation, especially under the constraints of the dual-carbon goal, the steel industry should focus on development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. 3 carbon 1 energy 1 hydrogen" work.

2. New progress in standardization work in the iron and steel industry

Dean Longqiang Zhang mentioned the development of industry, with standards first. Standards are the technical support for economic activities and social development, and are an important aspect of the country's basic system. Standardization plays a fundamental and leading role in advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities. The development of the standardization of the iron and steel industry is closely linked to the stage of China's economic development and the development of the iron and steel industry. Over the past 70 years since the founding of New China, the standardization of the iron and steel industry has always been at the forefront of industrial standardization, which has strongly supported the sustainable and healthy development of the iron and steel industry, and has provided strong standard support for my country to become a major and powerful country in iron and steel. With the acceleration of the "going global" pace and the implementation of the "Belt and Road" policy, standardization work is continuously being integrated into the international arena.

3. Standards help the high-quality development of wire products

Dean Zhang Longqiang pointed out that my country is the world's largest steel producer and the largest wire producer in the world. The annual wire production has exceeded one third of the world's total wire production. With the support of relevant national policies, the speed of structural adjustment and optimization of the wire rod industry has accelerated, and the wire rod industry has gradually changed from large to strong.

Dean Zhang Longqiang reviewed the current status of standardization work in my country's wire products industry and the results achieved in helping the high-quality development of the wire products industry:

From the perspective of a sound organization, the members of the National Steel Standardization Technical Committee’s Wire Rod and Steel Wire Sub-Technical Committee and the Wire Rope Sub-Technical Committee cover related units such as production, research, research, and inspection, and are widely representative; from the perspective of perfecting the standard system, the wire rod The product industry covers four major categories of standards, including basic general purpose, inspection methods, management and products, and has established a clear, scientific and reasonable standardization pattern; from the perspective of participating in international standards governance, China has taken the lead in publishing a number of international standards in key areas. The development of the global wire products industry contributes to China’s wisdom and solutions; from the perspective of promoting the improvement of industry quality, the wire products industry has implemented corporate standards as a "leader", won the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's single champion and 100 group standards, etc., and has been affirmed by the government and the industry; From the perspective of strengthening the leading role of standards, the wire product industry has carried out the development of green manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing standards on the basis of traditional standardization work to promote the transformation and upgrading of the industry; from the perspective of helping corporate brand building, the wire product industry has given full play to its leading role , Highlighting the basic and leading role of standards, and assisting corporate brand building and efficiency enhancement.

Then, President Zhang Longqiang combined with the "Outline of National Standardization Development" issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, and proposed that the iron and steel industry should do a good job in seven areas to implement the outline: First, comprehensively and accurately grasp and comprehensively promote the implementation of the "National Standardization Development Outline" Requirements and tasks; the second is to optimize the number and structure of steel industry standards, and to restructure the high-quality development standard system; the third is to accelerate the standardization process of key technological achievements to enhance the competitiveness of the steel industry; the fourth is to increase the effective supply of standards and make up for shortcomings , Promote the effective connection of upstream and downstream standards in the industrial chain; fifth, establish and improve a carbon peak, carbon neutral, green, and intelligent manufacturing standard system, and solidly promote the development of key standards; sixth, promote the coordinated development of domestic and international standardization, and deeply participate in international standardization activities; The seventh is to strengthen the construction of a standardized talent team, and cultivate and establish a multi-level and high-level talent echelon.
