Recently, the Shanghai Municipal Market Regulation Bureau, in collaboration with the Jing'an District government, hosted a themed event focusing on "Quality Infrastructure (NQI) Supporting the High-Quality Development of the High-End Equipment Industry." The event showcased the substantial achievements of Shanghai's comprehensive quality infrastructure—encompassing metrology, standards, and conformity assessment—in empowering industrial development. Several reform and innovation measures were implemented, and a batch of key technology research projects were signed, injecting strong momentum into the autonomous control, quality improvement, and upgrading of Shanghai's high-end equipment sector.
In recent years, Shanghai has consistently deepened its efforts in quality infrastructure development, promoting the full integration of NQI services into the entire industrial chain of high-end equipment, including R&D, manufacturing, assembly, testing, delivery, and international expansion. This has established a professional and systematic quality technical service support system covering the entire industry lifecycle, leading to a comprehensive leap in industrial quality foundational capabilities.
Currently, Shanghai has established 10 industrial metrology and testing centers in key sectors such as commercial aircraft and marine power equipment, and has set up 20 quality inspection centers in cutting-edge fields including automotive chips and hydrogen energy. Enterprises and institutions across the city have collectively led the formulation and revision of over 150 international standards, with 7 individuals holding positions as chairs or vice-chairs in international standardization technical bodies, securing significant influence over multiple industry international standards. Simultaneously, Shanghai has successively won 2 China Quality Awards and 14 China Quality Award nominations, cultivating a group of highly exemplary quality benchmarks such as ZPMC and the Aerodynamic Layout Team of COMAC Shanghai Aircraft Design and Research Institute.
The event also saw the launch of two reform pilot initiatives, driving institutional innovation and talent cultivation to continuously activate new industrial development momentum. First, a pioneering reform in the inspection, testing, and certification sector was initiated, focusing on four key directions: institutional innovation, quality brand enhancement, industrial quality upgrading, and international mutual recognition collaboration. Second, the first batch of pilot projects integrating professional and standardization education was launched, addressing the shortage of industrial standardization talent by establishing an industry-education integration cultivation system to reserve specialized professionals for the industry's long-term development.
A signing ceremony for key metrology technology supply-demand matching was also held at the event, where 6 industry-academia-research units reached agreements on 3 key technology research collaborations, precisely tackling critical "bottleneck" technical challenges in the industry. Among these, the "Joint R&D Project for Integrated Circuit Wafer-Level Nano-Positioning Metrology Equipment" is a collaborative effort between the National Integrated Circuit Micro-Nano Detection Equipment Industrial Metrology Testing Center (Shanghai) and Shanghai Yuwei Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd., supporting advanced chip manufacturing from the metrology source. The "Application Project of Terahertz Technology in Aircraft Coating Thickness Measurement" is being implemented by the Shanghai Aerospace Technology Basic Research Institute in cooperation with Shanghai Haiying Machinery Factory, aiding the intelligent upgrade of aviation equipment detection. The "High-Precision, High-Torque Dynamic Measurement System Project" is jointly developed by CSSC Power (Group) Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Marine Equipment Research Institute, providing technical support for the core technology R&D and performance calibration of marine engines in China.
