On December 15, the "Academic Conference on the Standardization and Innovative Application of Buildings" was held in the International Conference Center of SNTO. The conference was jointly hosted by Hunan Real Estate Chamber of Commerce and the Standardization Institute of Hunan Academy of Building Research, and organized by SNTO. The conference was attended by leaders from Administration for Market Regulation of Hunan Province, industry experts, and leaders of Vanke and other well-known real estate companies.
Standards are the technical support for economic activities and social development and are an important aspect of the country's basic system. In October 2021, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the "National Standardization Development Outline", setting goals and blueprints for China's standardization development in the next 15 years.
In the standardized management of production, SNTO has won the title of "Hunan Industrial Quality Benchmark" by its "Five Standards and Ten Steps" zero-defect quality management model. Based on the five standardized quality control of "result, inspection, process, training and inspection", this model is a valuable management tool for enterprise production and manufacturing. In 2021, SNTO was listed in the Top 100 Changsha Enterprises Practicing "Three Highlands and Four New Missions" Strategies, adding more competitiveness in promoting the standardization process.
Hu Xiwen, General Manager of the Formwork Business Group of SNTO, said,
"Standardization is productivity. It represents the discourse power of rules and the commanding ground of industrial competition. As the largest new aluminum formwork smart manufacturer in China, SNTO has actively responded to the national call for standardization and has achieved many standardized R&D achievements, forming three standardized product series of residence, office building, and basement. In particular, the newly developed basement in aluminum formwork of SNTO shows our continuous research and development, innovation, and breakthrough of the three standards: construction standardization, formwork standardization, and installation standardization, and have become an industry-leading product system of basement aluminum formwork.
As a traditional high energy consumption industry, the real estate industry continues its uncertainty. How to analyze the trend of the real estate market in depth to innovate? How to stabilize and improve the quality of products, projects, and services through the implementation of new construction standards, and help enterprises take the path of quality and efficient development? This is one of the purposes of this conference.
Hu Xinjun, Director of Certification and Supervision Division of Administration for Market Regulation of Hunan Province, said, "In terms of standardization revision and pilot demonstration, the Certification and Supervision Division of Administration for Market Regulation of Hunan Province will offer nearly RMB 20 million in financial subsidies every year, support companies in certification, provide the ISO9001 system certification services for small and micro enterprises free of charge, open a green channel in the Industry and Information Technology Department of Hunan Province to help the cultivation of specialized, sophisticated, distinctive, innovative companies, facilitate the development of enterprises and associations, and jointly promote the innovative use of standardization".
