DIN Announces Launch of Germany-China Standards Information Portal
October 16, 2009 // Published as a news service by IHS
The German Institute for Standardization (Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V., or DIN) announced the launch of the new Germany-China Standards Information Portal on Oct. 12.
DIN said this new Internet portal will be a valuable source of information regarding standards and standardization systems in Germany and China.
Businesses can use the powerful search engine to quickly find the standards they need for their products. Searches can be carried out in German, English or Chinese, with search results being displayed in German or Chinese - in either case, with an English translation of the title.
Selected bibliographic data for nearly 60,000 documents can be searched. These are exchanged and updated on a monthly basis. The relationship of documents to international standards is also indicated (as identical or modified).
The portal's home page includes in-depth information on the sectors that have been identified by the Working Group Standardization of the German Chinese Joint Committee of Industry and Trade as being particularly important for the joint development of standards in those countries.
The portal is jointly administered by the national standards bodies of Germany and China: DIN and the Standardization Administration of PR China (SAC).
