Annex: Project Construction Standards System Reform Plan
(Exposure Draft)

 

Engineering construction standards (hereinafter referred to as "standards") are an important system and basis that must be followed in engineering construction activities, and an important technical basis for the modern national governance system. it involves more than 30 fields, such as construction, transportation, water conservancy, electric power, information, agriculture, medicine and health, and so on. After more than 60 years of development, a relatively complete standard system with Chinese characteristics has been formed, which has played an important role in promoting my country's economic and social construction, reform and development. However, under the new situation, the current standards gradually show problems such as insufficient rigid constraints, unreasonable system, low index level and low degree of internationalization. In order to deepen the reform of the standard system, take into account the government and the market, the central and local, domestic and international needs, and better play the role of standard support and guarantee, this plan is formulated.

 

General 1. requirements

Adhere to market-driven. Reform the single government standard supply model and give full play to the decisive role of the market in the allocation of standard resources. Adhere to the international perspective. Actively promote the internationalization strategy of standards, participate in international standardization activities, and better serve the construction of the "Belt and Road. Adhere to co-construction and sharing. The government and society jointly build and improve the standard system, government standards are fully open online, and groups and enterprise standards are encouraged to be open.

 

(III) reform objectives.

Establish a new system of technical regulations and standards with reasonable content, advanced level and strong international applicability. Establish a new mechanism for the management of technical regulations and standards with solid basic research, timely public services, and effective implementation and supervision.

 

(IV) reform ideas. The scattered mandatory provisions in the current standards will be streamlined and integrated into full-text mandatory engineering construction specifications (hereinafter referred to as "engineering specifications"), and gradually transformed into technical regulations to achieve deep integration with existing laws and regulations. We will vigorously develop standards for groups and enterprises, and the recommended standards formulated by the government will gradually be undertaken by the society. Innovative technical measures that meet the performance requirements of laws, regulations and engineering specifications can be promoted and applied through compliance determination, and gradually incorporated into the corresponding engineering specifications and standards.

 

Technical performance regulations should fully cover all kinds of engineering projects and construction links, so that there are standards to follow. The level of technical indicators should be comprehensively upgraded to the international leading and advanced level, so as to promote the overall steady improvement of China's engineering construction level. The way of technical expression should fully adapt to the needs of internationalization, and improve the consistency with international standards in terms of content elements and index composition.

2. Strengthen the Bottom Line Control Requirements and Establish Engineering Specification System

 

(V) define the engineering specification category and level. Engineering specifications are divided into engineering project category and general technical category. The engineering project category mainly stipulates the total scale, planning layout, function, performance, and key technical measures, which are applicable to specific types of engineering projects; the general technical category mainly stipulates general technical requirements such as survey, measurement, design, and construction, which are applicable to multiple types of engineering projects. The engineering specifications are divided into three levels: national, industrial and local. Industry engineering specifications can be supplemented and refined and should be stricter than national engineering specifications; local engineering specifications can be supplemented and refined according to local characteristics and should be stricter than national and industry engineering specifications.

 

(VI) reasonably determine the technical content of the engineering specification. It is necessary to systematically analyze and identify the "risk points" of engineering construction, clarify the "control points" of technical measures, and identify the "power points" of government supervision ". It is necessary to reflect the government's regulatory requirements, but also to meet the needs of design and construction units; it is necessary to ensure good management, to "cover the bottom line and ensure the basics", and not to manage multiple deaths and restrict enterprise innovation. For the performance requirements in the engineering specifications, the specific technical measures that can be selected should be clarified as far as possible.

 

(VII) strictly control the procedure for the formulation of engineering specifications. The drafting of engineering specifications shall be objective, open and fair with reference to the procedures for the formulation of laws and regulations. The engineering specification management organization, drafting group and technical support expert organization shall perform their respective duties and strengthen coordination, demonstration and test verification. The engineering specifications formulated by the state, industry and local governments shall be examined and approved by the State Council or the authorized departments of the State Council, the relevant departments of the State Council and the people's governments at the provincial level.

 

3. streamlining the scale of government standards and increasing the supply of market-oriented standards

 

(VIII) clear standard positioning. The standard is a more specific and detailed recommendation for the engineering specification, and it is a technical path and method for the performance requirements of the engineering specification. Standards are divided into government standards, group standards and enterprise standards. Government standards are divided into national, industry, and local standards, which are formulated and issued by the competent department of housing and urban-rural construction under the State Council, relevant departments of the State Council, and provincial-level housing and urban-rural construction departments. Group and enterprise standards are formulated and issued by social organizations and enterprises respectively. Standards shall not violate the requirements of the corresponding engineering specifications within their scope of application. Encourage the development of high-level standards that are stricter than engineering specifications.

 

(IX) streamlining government standards. Government standards should be strictly limited to the scope of government responsibilities and public welfare categories, mainly standards that are urgently needed by the country and lacking in the market. We should optimize the "stock" government standards and merge or transfer them into group standards. We should strictly control the "incremental" government standards, improve the project evaluation mechanism, control the entrance, and in principle no longer add new national standards.

 

(X) actively nurture development groups and corporate standards. There is no administrative license for the qualification of the main body of group and enterprise standard-setting. Release group and enterprise standards without administrative filing. As agreed in the contract, group and enterprise standards can be used as the basis for design, construction and acceptance. Encourage third-party professional institutions, especially public welfare standardization institutions, to determine whether the published group and enterprise standards conform to the engineering specifications. The judgment work shall adhere to the principles of fairness, impartiality, objectivity, science and voluntariness, and the judgment conclusion shall be made public to the public.
