First, measurement and testing will create the conditions for the development of China's knowledge-based economy.
Economists believe that the competition in the 21st century is mainly the competition of intelligence and brain power to resources, labor and other factors of competition will be relegated to second place. The industrialized countries, after experiencing the industrial economy, have taken the lead in entering the era of knowledge economy and knowledge society.
China is in the economic transition and institutional transition of the key moment, our economy to take off, but also must clearly see the important role of the knowledge economy. And what role will measurement testing play in the knowledge economy? Zhou Guangzhao, Chairman of the Association for Science and Technology, pointed out that: testing instruments are the forerunner of scientific and technological development. The development of any science and technology cannot be separated from testing. Testing is an indispensable means for knowledge economy and scientific and technological innovation. Therefore, the 21st century measurement and testing will also play an important role in promoting China's scientific and technological development, technological innovation and knowledge-based economy.
Secondly, the 21st century, China's measurement and testing will also be a great development in China's sustainable development strategy.
The State Council discussed and adopted China's Agenda 21 in the 21st century sustainable development as a development strategy for the 21st century. The sustainable development strategy puts forward comprehensive requirements for the full utilization of resources and environmental protection. At the same time, China has also transformed the international standard for environmental management system certification, ISO14000, into our national standard. The standard puts forward five major elements for the establishment of an environmental system, and among the five major elements, one of them is quite important, which is measurement and evaluation. This shows the importance of measurement in environmental protection. The standard requires regular internal measurement and monitoring of environmental conditions, environmental use, energy consumption, waste disposal, etc., and requires that the results of the measurement be analyzed and utilized, and that the measurement data be used as a basis for monitoring and improving the environment.
Third, the 21st century, measurement and testing will also play an important role in industrial measurement.
Premier Zhu Rongji once said: measurement and testing work is the quality of the entire industrial enterprise and management modernization of the most basic conditions. With the data command production, monitoring process, inspection of finished products, quality can be truly guaranteed. In the past two years, many of China's enterprises have improved the level of measurement work, but with the international advanced level of comparison there is still a big gap between the strengthening of measurement work, the development of measurement and testing technology, is a matter of urgency. Zhu Rong Rongji, Premier of these instructions to guide the 21st century China's measurement and testing technology development is still very important.
In the past two years, the international community has put forward the idea of measurement process control. Measurement process control is also known as measurement assurance. Measurement process control is to see the measurement as a complete process. In a measurement process, although the measurement equipment in the calibration cycle, the measurement of personnel is also through the examination and training, but, whether it can ensure that the measurement data has been in the permissible error range? Without a monitoring method, no one can know, no one can guarantee that each measurement data are within the allowable range. Now, the measurement process control method proposed by the U.S. has been recognized internationally, which can be used to monitor and control every measurement result on a regular basis through methods such as verification standards. It is particularly suitable for critical and complex measurement systems, such as measurements for safety and economic purposes. Therefore, in the 21st century, the method of measurement process control will be widely used all over the world. At the same time, the estimation of measurement uncertainty will also be widely used in our country, which is a major development in measurement methods and error theory. And will be more widely used and developed in the 21st century.
In addition, in the process of industrial testing, measurement and control of the formation of integration is the most effective means of realizing industrial automation. In this regard, measurement and testing technology will have a greater use, and will be more development in the 21st century.
In the product quality inspection, electromagnetic compatibility test system is widely used to improve product safety, reliability is essential. 21st century electromagnetic compatibility testing will be a great development; it will cover almost all the product testing.
Four, in the development of measurement equipment, the high degree of computer development will bring significant changes to the development of measurement equipment in the 21st century.
The use of computer data processing capabilities can be automatically each measuring equipment to correct the error at any time to improve the accuracy of measuring equipment. In addition, a variety of purposes of the measurement equipment can be used in the form of computers and data packets combined. Mathematical models can be built by collecting large amounts of data for different objects to be measured. This new type of measurement equipment is suitable for a variety of purposes, and will greatly improve the accuracy of the measurement.
Fourth, due to the various needs of the community on the identification of measuring equipment, government testing bureaus such as Suzhou Measurement and Testing Institute, Jingdezhen Measurement and Testing Institute, Wuhu Measurement and Testing Institute and other metrological research institutes involved in it, so that the monitoring of various parameters of the production process at any time to the feedback control, thereby greatly improving product quality, reduce human error, improve business efficiency, it is the future development of industrial testing must go. The road to the development of industrial testing.
Fifth, in the quantitative value transfer and traceability, the new century will also have a breakthrough development.
The world is still the verification and calibration of measuring equipment as the main method of transmission and traceability. But it does have a big drawback. Measuring equipment is accurate, does not mean that the measurement data is accurate. In addition, the measurement equipment sent to the test affects the use of equipment, and due to transportation and other reasons, it is difficult to prove that sent to the test qualified equipment in use is still in a qualified state. Therefore, countries around the world widely advocate the establishment of testing and calibration laboratories to compare measurement data, and advocate not to send the instrument through the measurement of data traceability of the new method, that is, the MAP method, although these methods are still subject to certain conditions of restriction, but we have reason to believe that the 21st century in the transmission of quantitative value and traceability reform will be greater development and breakthroughs in the way.
