Can third-party testing seize opportunities

According to the formula provided by the technology house, how can we squeeze out the estimated “bubbles”? The smog must continue to dream about us for decades. Whenever outside the house is “horizontal”, we choose to retreat to the house. And under the roof, we enjoy the necessities of life, food, drinking water, and breathing the air in the house. Do these really give us a safe, restorative green “farewell?” Recently, at home, I watched the news. It is the concern of our common people, for example, the Boao Forum. On that tourist island, Hainan Island in southern China has always used its southern scenery and clean air as its business card to create a hard brand for ecotourism. On the 26th, the Bo Hao PM2.5 index was only 10, which can be described as a “nothing place”. In addition to discussions on smog, there are discussions on food safety and water quality.

"International Joint Governance of Food Safety"

In 2015, China will basically complete the integration of food safety-related national standards and the development of a standards system to protect the national food safety. Director of the State Administration of Quality Supervision Zhang Shuping proposed:

Because of the population of 1.3 billion, it is not only a big producer of food, but also a big consumer, and a big importer and exporter. The Chinese government does attach great importance to food safety. There are these points:

First, governments at all levels attach importance to food safety at all levels. In the "Government Work Report," Premier Li Keqiang emphasized in particular the need to ensure food and drug safety in the entire process and comprehensively improve the level of food and medicine. The Food Safety Law is now being amended.

Second, some stringent measures have also been taken in the import process. The entry and exit establishment is Sandaoguan. Before entering China, entering China, and after entering China: strict admission before entering China; strict supervision of inspection and quarantine when entering China; after entering China, enterprises are required to establish a strict retrospective system.

Third, attach importance to supervision at the export stage. Now we are responsible for exporting food to more than 210 countries and regions. The enterprises currently exporting have established supervision over the entire process from the source, from the raw materials and production areas to the quarantine inspection of food processing, storage and transportation.

During the seven years from 2008 to 2014, there were 176 standards developed or revised by the CAC (International Codex Alimentarius Commission), which is more than the sum of the previous 40 years. Is the problem of food safety facing the world more and more complex and increasingly difficult to manage?

The Chairperson of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, Awilo Ochieng Pernet, replied: Yes, according to food safety and quality assurance standards, but also global standards and regional standards. Because we are also talking about the global food supply chain and food supply chain. It is an opportunity for consumers, because consumers can buy products produced in other parts of the world. But at the same time it will also bring risks. For example, the accident of melamine actually appeared in one country, and it spread very quickly to other parts of the world.

To achieve food safety, we must walk on two legs. One leg has just been mentioned by distinguished guests, such as management methods, management standards, and management systems. The other leg is the detection technology protection.

Water security and soil pollution

Wang Hao, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, mentioned that pollution control cannot be separated from the establishment of pollutant discharge standards. No matter whether it is the new “Environmental Protection Law” or the “Water Ten Articles”, the cornerstone of law enforcement is the discharge of standards, but this standard still has unsatisfactory places.

When China’s environmental protection business was started, it was based on North American and European standards, but in North America and Europe, there are often 30 or more factories on a 100-kilometer river course. In today's China, there are often 500,600 factories on both sides of more than 100 kilometers of rivers in the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, the Bohai Rim, and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Therefore, this standard should be revised to proceed from the river's water environment capacity and push back the emission standards of the polluting enterprises. We have a lot of science and technology for the environment including water quality monitoring. Is there a national report on water quality monitoring? Qiu Baoxing, former deputy minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development in China: Water quality monitoring is a very technical issue. Our country actually used water quality standards last year. Just now, the new water quality standard has just been promulgated, from 35 indicators to 106 indicators. After this indicator system has been increased, we have reached water quality standards such as the EU and the United States. By the end of next year, all major cities and even most medium-sized cities will open the water quality, but this is not enough. why?

First of all, there are many water quality inspection stations that are self-tested by the waterworks. This is equal to the fact that there are no neutral institutions in the community. Instead, we need to have 106 items of water, which would take one month if they are tested in accordance with the health defense system. So we must have inspection equipment. .

Second, the state establishes a report from the national inspection station and then each province has sub-stations, and rushes to test your own water plants by ourselves.

Finally, to establish a very complete and compulsory system of public information disclosure, this open system will force the water quality standards to be disclosed. During the implementation of the standard process in Europe and the United States, where is the difficulty faced by the industry in the process of implementation and how is it accomplished? The director of the Institute of Earth Sciences at Columbia University and the "father of shock therapy"

Jeffrey SACHS expressed his point of view: The process of reaching the standards will involve the entire city's layout and industrial layout, involving upper-level departments, and provincial and municipal areas.

Emphasize two factors:

The first is the issue of development. Now it is a good opportunity for China to invest in improving water quality. This is a transformation. This is a major commitment in the transition to a green economy in China. The 13th Five-Year Plan is a very important plan and it is really important for China's future because it is the first time in the five-year plan that it has seen such a distinct shade, clearly highlighting the quality of development. .

Second, political cooperation and challenges, cooperation between the central government, provincial governments, and local governments. I would like to take New York City as an example. The drinking water in New York City was transported from a place 40 kilometers away. The water used to be contaminated. Because there are some chemical and other industries in the water environment, New York raised 10 billion U.S. dollars. In the plan for water pollution control, the City of New York pays for the water transfer area and uses this water transfer area to treat water, instead of establishing a water pollution treatment facility in New York City, and solving this problem from the source.

With breathing, sharing fate

However, in the face of air quality, a practical "fate community," it is hard to go anywhere. At the “Smog and Health” Sub-Forum of the 2015 Boao Forum for Asia, the “Iron Warfare Resistance”, “Cooperative Resistance”, and “Public Resistance” became the key words, and they came from governments, companies, and research institutes. Lu Jiabin actively made suggestions and issued Boao's "resistance" voice.

"Environmental protection innovation model" Zhang Yue: "Talking about resistance, awareness is the premise"

“What has become of the haze hazard?” Zhang Yue, chairman of China Everbright Group, which had just been selected as a “global innovation model for environmental protection” last year, throws questions at the very beginning of his speech. “I have always insisted on testing with instruments. The results show that China is by no means the only country suffering from haze”. Zhangyue used data to prove the pollutant values ​​of Beijing and Berlin in the winter. “We must realize that smog is a global problem. China And other countries are bearing their serious consequences."

"To solve this problem, we must not feel that maintaining the status quo or gradually improving it. We must be aware of it and put the haze on human health at a considerable level." Zhang Yue emphasized several times in the speeches of the entire society. "Enlightenment," he believes, in the process of air governance, "awareness above all else," whether it is scientific and technological research, government decision-making or the people's environmental actions, "the premise is the realization of the people."

A few years ago, Zhang Yue had purchased two private jets. When the host Yang Hao asked about the status quo of these two aircraft, Zhang Yue said that the two aircraft had been grounded in the first half of 2008 and now is the “arrangement” at the airport. . "There are always entrepreneurs who consult with me about buying planes. I first taught them, and later they were '骂'. Now I want to say that we should all realize that the whole society must establish self-restrained consciousness."

Qin Dahe, former director of the Bureau of Meteorology: "China has great hope for resistance

Qin Dahe, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and former director of the National Meteorological Bureau, who is also a member of the forum, “liked” the behavior of Zhang Yue’s grounding of a private jet on the same day. “The fogging depends on the linkage effect of the government, research institutes, and the public. Everyone is closely related to the quality of the environment. To improve the environment, there must be public participation."

In the end, there is no hope for the Chinese government to solve the problem. In response to questions, the long-time scientist engaged in climate research and China’s first scientist walking on the Vietnamese-Polish side gave a positive answer and listed a series of practical actions by the Chinese government to improve the energy structure. China’s resistance to defamation is very resolute, and people’s awareness of environmental protection has also been greatly enhanced. I think it is very promising to say that the possibility of success will be met.”

However, Qin Dahe also reminded that the anti-crime "the future is bright, the road is tortuous." “China’s plate is too big. It will not be governance today. It will be able to govern tomorrow. New energy transformation technology innovation, supporting practical technologies, popular science education, etc. will all require a process.” As for the specific deadline for China’s resistance to floods, Qin Dahe Frankly, "two or three years are too short and thirty years are too long, but we must be down to earth and never relax."

"Real estate tycoon" Pan Shiyi: "Building houses must also resist haze"

"As a real estate developer, why did you come to the fog and governance sub-forum as a listener?" Hearing a reporter from the China News Service, Pan Shiyi, chairman of SOHO China, who was "contained" by various media after the forum, stopped and responded. “Everyone talks about haze. Basically, they are paying attention to the steel and automobile industries. But in fact, more than one-third of energy consumption comes from the construction industry, more than the automotive industry. So the construction industry can reduce energy. Consumption may be even more important for managing haze problems."

Pan Shiyi stressed that the reduction of energy consumption in the construction industry is actually to reduce the energy consumption of the day-to-day operations of buildings, which must rely on technology. He shared with reporters during the past three years his “building a house” and the “high-tech resistance” stage results: “We reduced the annual power consumption of the building to 55.7 kWh per square meter. It is a quarter of the United States and one-third of Japan. It can be said that it is a global leader." Pan Shiyi said that he only provides a platform for energy-saving technologies. Once these technologies mature, they can be promoted to the entire society.

Future third-party testing opportunities

Many problems in our lives, such as food safety, smog and health, and drinking water, must be faced by China’s advancement. Third-party testing is one of the indispensable factors on this road, and it is also the trend of market testing in China. What must we face? How can we seize the opportunities around us? Environmental testing business, food safety testing business and a series of testing markets, this cake, you can catch it? Opportunities can't be rushed past from the side. The third-party testing colleagues should act quickly!
