Shanghai is encouraging foreign-invested enterprises to be involved in the drafting of standards, the city's market regulators announced on Saturday – World Standards Day.

上海市市场监管机构在周六世界标准日宣布，鼓励外商投资企业参与标准起草工作。Under a slew of regulations effective from Saturday in the Pudong New Area, the main initiating and drafting bodies of a single standard have been expanded to include cross-industry enterprises and organizations, domestic and foreign-invested, as well as scientific research institutions, colleges and universities, financial infrastructure operating institutions and technical organizations.

根据浦东新区从周六起生效的一系列规定，单一标准的主要发起和起草机构已扩大到包括国内外跨行业企业和组织，以及科研机构、大专院校、金融基础设施运营机构和技术组织。The regulations were jointly released by the Shanghai Administration for Market Regulation and the Pudong government.

该规定由上海市场监管局和浦东政府共同发布。The act is expected to break the bottleneck of flexibility restriction of standard release bodies, and promote international exchange of standards under the background of Shanghai's new track development layout as well as efforts to build new-type industry systems.

该法案有望打破标准发布机构灵活性限制的瓶颈，在上海新轨道发展布局和构建新型产业体系的背景下，促进标准的国际交流。"It is encouraged that local businesses join hands with Fortune 500 foreign-invested companies or world leading firms to jointly draft standards," said Chen Yanfeng, deputy director of the administration.

“我们鼓励当地企业与财富500强外商投资企业或世界领先企业联手共同起草标准，”国家工商行政管理局副局长陈彦峰说。"We will support foreign-invested companies to get involved in standard drafting and smooth relevant channels for them, thus lifting the convenience and openness of their involvement," he added.

他补充说：“我们将支持外商投资企业参与标准起草，为他们畅通相关渠道，从而提高他们参与的便利性和开放性。”。The regulations also note that companies in the upstream and downstream industry chain can jointly form a standard innovation consortium."The platform is aimed at pooling wisdom from global leading companies," said Gu Nan, deputy director of Shanghai Testing & Inspection Institute for Medical Devices.

条例还指出，上下游产业链上的公司可以共同组成标准创新联合体。“该平台旨在汇集全球领先企业的智慧，”上海市医疗器械检验检测研究所副所长顾楠表示。"From an international perspective, they bring advanced technologies and concepts from the world to standard drafting, and they are also active in getting involved."

“从国际角度来看，他们将世界先进的技术和概念引入标准起草，他们也积极参与其中。”
