On April 29, CRRC Qingdao Sifang Locomotive and Rolling Stock Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "CRRC Sifang") learned that the State Administration for Market Regulation recently issued a reply agreeing to rely on CRRC Sifang to build the "National High-speed Train Industry Metrology and Testing Center" was formally established. The center is the first national industrial metrology and testing center in the field of rail transit in mainland China.
High-speed train industry is high-tech, high value-added advanced industrial facilities and equipment industry, measurement as one of the three pillars of modern industrial production, in industrial manufacturing plays an important role in the "eye" and "ruler", it through accurate, stable, traceable measurement control to ensure product quality, is an important basic support technology to support the development of high-speed train industry.
The National High-speed Train Industry Metrology and Testing Center is a national innovation platform in the field of metrology and testing of the high-speed train industry in mainland China, and is committed to providing forward-looking metrology and testing technical services of "full traceability chain, whole industry chain and whole life cycle" for the development of the national high-speed train industry around the measurement and testing technology needs of the high-speed train industry, so as to provide solid measurement foundation support for the innovation and development of the high-speed train industry in the mainland.
As the core R&D and manufacturing base of China's high-speed rail trains, CRRC Sifang was approved to build a national high-speed train industry measurement and testing center in 2018. Since its establishment, the center has focused on the research and capacity building of measurement and testing technology, and carried out preparatory work around 54 tasks in three aspects: the ability and level of measurement and testing projects, the ability and achievements of measurement science and technology innovation, and the operation ability and effectiveness of the industrial measurement and testing center, covering from basic technology, industry common technology to key product technologies, realizing a series of breakthroughs in measurement and testing, test verification, and quality control of high-speed trains throughout their life cycle, and creating a "three-layer, four-chain, dual-drive, and dual-cycle" The industrial metrology ecological model has promoted the continuous upgrading of the capacity of the high-speed train industrial metrology and testing system.
At present, the National High-speed Train Industry Metrology and Testing Center has established 63 measurement standards, 231 measurement and calibration technical capabilities, 56 measurement and testing technical capabilities, carried out 59 forward-looking, key commonalities, measurement equipment and method measurement and testing technology research and innovation ability projects, and invested more than 6,000 sets of equipment in the field of measurement testing and calibration of high-speed train industry, forming an industry-leading measurement and testing service capability.
In the next step, the National High-speed Train Industry Metrology and Testing Center will be demand-oriented, with the goal of improving industrial quality and core competitiveness, further strengthen the research and development of measurement and testing technology and the construction of measurement science and technology innovation capacity, continue to deepen the research in different fields such as value transfer methods, development of special testing equipment, formulation of technical standards, exploration of key common technologies and cutting-edge technologies, comprehensively improve the measurement and testing service guarantee ability of the whole traceability chain, the whole industry chain and the whole life cycle, and strive to build a "new highland" of high-speed train measurement technology It provides more powerful measurement technology support for the innovation and development of the mainland high-speed train industry.
