The Helpless Behind The "No Standard" Of Sports Goods In China

Speaking of

There are not many people who are familiar with standardization. However, the basic problems behind the "vegetable runway" from the "runway" of primary and secondary schools to the frequently occurring international and domestic venues are standardized.

Reporters visited Gansu, Fujian and other places to conduct a series of research on the standards of sporting goods. The survey found that there are many problems in the standard system of sports goods in China, such as low standard, long age and low standard. Some areas lag behind the times, and some areas are even in a blank state.

There is "danger" and "machine" behind the "no standard". On the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen the urgency to adapt to the new era standardization system in China. On the other hand, because many sporting goods do not have international standards, if appropriate "China standard" is made as soon as possible, it may enable China to "overtake" in the field of world standardization, and set up a new image of sporting goods "made in China".

The "no standard" reality of sporting goods industry

Compared with many other industries, China's sports industry, whether in the sporting goods industry or sports service industry, the development of standardization is relatively backward.

When asked about the standards of sporting goods, the most common answer for practitioners is "no standard".

Hou Fengqi, chairman of the company, which has been engaged in triathlon projects for a long time, said: "iron three is not standard at present. In this sense, it is necessary to make a standard, because the corresponding fabrics, bicycles should be based on the characteristics of the movement.

There are special requirements, all of which must have a standard. "

Ai Qi, the head of the intelligent sports watch manufacturer and Fujian quasi Mdt InfoTech Ltd, said: "in terms of smart watches, although each plate has traditional standards, so far there has not been a system standard. It is a grain of pearls without a single thread."

Liu Zhizhong, director of the policy and regulation department of the Gansu Sports Bureau, has long been concerned about the standardization of sporting goods. He told reporters that there are 6 main problems in the standardization of sports products in China: 1, there are few standards, not only a small number of standards, but also few people.

2, marked age, such as aviation sports, some of the standards established in 1991 are still in use.

3, lack of importance.

4, sports standardization construction team is weak.

5, the implementation of standardization and landing problems, the government and the public are not fully aware of the benefits of practice standardization.

6, the depth of understanding of standard setting is not enough. The academic community has been discussing the problem on the macro level.

The reality of "no standard" makes the enterprises engaged in sporting goods manufacturing at a loss, and companies that want to make high standard products often adopt international standards. In the domestic market, because of the different standards followed by different enterprises, there are many vicious competition phenomena. "Poisonous runway" is a product of this vicious low price competition.

Reason: talent shortage is inconsistent.

At present, there are 6 sports Standards Department of the State Sports General Administration equipment and equipment center, but the reality is that the standard setting of a sports product usually takes one to two years, and China faces a huge gap in this respect. The work done by the director of the Department Hou Libo and his team seems to be a drop in the bucket.

Liu Zhizhong believes that sports standardization talents are very scarce. He said: "the sports standardization construction team is too weak, basically no team, no one in Gansu, in fact, all provinces should have.

If every province can have such a standardized organization, it can solve many problems, such as high-risk projects. At present, only two can be checked in China, one is the sports service center of the General Administration, and another is a company under the scientific research institute. But how big can they do in the whole country?

The reason for the low level of standardization of sporting goods is not only the shortage of qualified personnel, but also the fact that there are too few responsible departments, inadequate law enforcement authority, and lack of effective supervision. In an interview, reporters also found that many parties' demands and hard to reach agreement were an important reason for the low level of standardization.

Hou Fengqi said that as a big business in this field, the company has been making products according to the European standard, and has also thought about taking the lead in formulating China's own standards. But in the end, "because North, East China and Southern China have different appeals, I take the lead, but in the process of contact, every house is not very active."

Hou Libo once took the lead in making the national standard of outdoor fitness path. When the standard was formulated, it invited technical supervision departments, academics, scholars, consumer representatives, government officials, enterprise representatives, user representatives, etc., and encountered many problems in the process of formulation.

He said that there was a mixed situation in the sporting goods industry. Some of the standards were poorly developed and could not be integrated with the international market. However, many of the low level manufacturing enterprises were opposed to it, so the problems were very complicated.

"For example, the useful life of products is considered to be 10 years from the perspective of consumers and national interests. However, enterprises objected that the product sales cycle would be lengthened for too long, and the 8 years after the completion of the coordination," he said.

Way out: do a good job of the upper design target in the medium and long term

The standard problem is the fundamental issue, which concerns the overall level and international competitiveness of products in a country or a field. If China's sports industry wants to develop healthily, it must establish a healthy and efficient standard system for sporting goods as soon as possible.

Such incidents as "poison runway" are only the tip of the iceberg in the formulation, implementation and supervision of the standardization of sports goods in China. If we fail to establish a reasonable and high standard system in time, the next problem may be toxic swimming pools, poisonous turf, racket and so on.

The industry also put forward some suggestions for this.

First of all, it is clear that the standardization unit of sports products should be standardized. The current situation is that the General Administration of sports and light industry, textile and chemical industry are involved, but no department heads. Therefore, it is necessary to straighten out this relationship from the upper level and build a framework for Standardization of sports goods in accordance with international standards.

Secondly, do a good job in the long-term planning of the standardization system of sports goods, because standardization is very basic, and the cycle is long and slow. Therefore, we should do well in the medium and long term planning, do top-level design and learn from the advantages of other industries to form a long-term mechanism that can stabilize, efficiently and systematically solve the standardization system of sports goods.

Third, in view of the important role of the sporting goods manufacturing industry in the national economic system and the sports industry system, we should speed up the sporting goods manufacturing industry.

The investment of construction funds and the strength of personnel training.

Since the standardization of sports products requires a large number of compound talents who know both sports and laws, and understand the economy, colleges and universities, especially sports colleges, need to increase the training of these talents.
