Abstract

National quality infrastructure (NQI) is the technical foundation of a country’s high-quality development and an important component of the national innovation system. Improving the technical capacity and management level of the NQI is a key means to promote China’s strength in science and technology and product quality. Conducting strategic research on NQI is critical for transforming China from a country of quantity to a country of quality. This study analyzes the status quo and existing problems in the development of quality infrastructure in China and abroad and proposes the overall idea, objectives, and future direction of the NQI development strategy for China. Furthermore, we propose several policies to provide support and reference for the scientific development of China’s NQI, including clarifying the strategic positioning of NQI, optimizing the construction of NQI, consolidating NQI technical foundations and systemic services, strengthening diversified resource investment, and participating in the international exchanges of NQI.
