Olivier Peyrat believed that the fourth Industrial Revolution gathers a series of technical innovation, making the boundaries of different fields more and more vague. Neither a single technology, a participant nor a country can achieve the transformation. While standards can promote innovation in different areas, helping make the fourth Industrial Revolution come true.The fourth Industrial Revolution is not only concerned with information technology, but also hardware, electric power facilities, electric appliances, smart cities, intelligent transformation system, waste disposal, water treatment, etc., said Gabriela Ehrlich. To address these challenges, we must cooperate. Only cooperation can help us achieve the goals, she stressed. In Germany, one of the essential elements promoting the activities related to the Industry 4.0 is standardization, said Florian Spiteller. He was convinced that the first step of standardization is to encourage youngsters to participate in standardization meetings, seminars and training, and give more opportunities to young professionals. In this way, young experts can shape the future of standardization with us together!Regarding the standardization reform in China, remarkable progress has been made in simplification and reduction of mandatory national standards, reexamination of voluntary national standards in a concentrated way, vigorous cultivation of association standards, promotion of the reform of enterprise standards, and capability of participating in international standardization activities, according to Cui Gang.At local level, Shandong has always attached great importance to standardization work, said Zhang Yongxia. With the approval of the State Council in June 2018, Shandong started to conduct the pilot work of standardization comprehensive reform. The coastal province of East China has implemented the standardization strategy to establish a complete standards system and improve the participation of international standardization activities. It plays a vital role in replacing old growth drivers with new ones, expanding opening-up, and boosting high-quality development in Shandong, added Ms Zhang.Besides, how to facilitate digital transformation and the fourth Industrial Revolution through standardization? Ouyang Jinsong gave the answer. Standards help address specific problems, for example, application of new technologies, increment effect of an enterprise, digital transformation in the full life circle, etc. From consumer demands, design, production to services, none of these can be achieved without standards. Standards promote the sustainable development of intelligent manufacturing and the industrial revolution, realizing transformation and upgrading and the Industry 4.0 in the end.
