What conveniences will the release of the 110 "Bay Area Standards" logo bring to residents of the Greater Bay Area? Besides eating, drinking, and having fun, what other details are worth paying attention to? Let's take a look together. What is the "Bay Area Standard"? When it comes to "Bay Area standards," the first thing to understand is what "standards" are. Standards are the technical support for economic activities and social development. Standards determine quality, and only high standards can lead to high quality. Strengthening standardization work and implementing standardization strategies have long-term significance for economic and social development. The Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area is the region with the highest degree of openness and the strongest economic vitality in China, and is the region with the most concentrated elements of technological innovation. However, its unique "one country, two systems, three tariff zones, and three currencies" also pose certain obstacles to the flow of factors in the three regions. In accordance with the "Guidelines for Promoting the Development of Standards in the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao (Trial)", which establish the principles of "market driven, government guidance, international integration, and mutual benefit and win-win", accelerate the connection of rules among Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, and promote the orderly flow of elements in the Bay Area. The Guangdong Provincial Market Supervision Bureau, in collaboration with relevant departments in Hong Kong and Macao, has developed and formed the "Bay Area Standards" and launched them in a timely manner. The "Bay Area Standards" announced this time take the key livelihood areas with high commonality and easy integration among Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao as the entry point, covering 25 fields such as food, Cantonese cuisine, traditional Chinese medicine, transportation, elderly care, and logistics, with a total of 110 standards. Why is the first batch of 110 "Bay Area Standards" so much attention? Firstly, closely adhering to the development needs of the Bay Area, each standard originates from the common development needs of the Bay Area, and is jointly developed by social organizations, research institutes, and enterprises with strong technological strength and significant influence from Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao. It has scientific and applicable characteristics. Secondly, gathering the wisdom of all parties from Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau, Hong Kong and Macau actively participate in the preparation of the "Bay Area Standards". The 58 standards in the "Bay Area Standards" list are led or jointly led by relevant units from Hong Kong and Macau, including the Food Safety Center of the Hong Kong Food and Environment Department, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the Hong Kong Catering Workers' Federation, the Macau Municipal Council, the Macau University of Science and Technology, and the Macau Institute of Development and Quality, It has gathered the wisdom of multiple parties from Hong Kong and Macao. Thirdly, it highlights the first-class standard level. The "Bay Area Standard" is a model of high-quality standards, and the technical management procedures included in the "Bay Area Standard" are rigorous. The Standardization Research Center of the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao invites four national standardization research institutions, including the China Institute of Standardization and the National Standards and Technical Evaluation Center, to work with authoritative experts from Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao to form a preliminary draft of the standard after strict technical review.
