Zhao Ke, director of the Department of Regulations and Standards of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said that during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, standards work will focus on the following aspects: First, formulating a schedule and road map. Organize and carry out macro-strategic research on ecological environment standards, formulate work plans for ecological environment standards, and promote standard projects in the three areas of pollution prevention and control, ecological protection, and green and low carbon step by step. Second, speed up the formulation and revision of key standards. A new version of the ambient air quality standard was released at the beginning of this year, and the formulation of environmental quality standards for drinking water sources is currently being accelerated. Ecological environment quality standards such as surface water, ocean, and sound will be updated in an orderly manner. Third, improve the standard system according to law. In response to the shortcomings and weaknesses of the ecological environment standard system, accelerate the establishment of an ecological protection evaluation and restoration supervision standard system, and actively promote the construction of a green and low-carbon standard system. Fourth, optimize and improve work quality and efficiency. Promote the strengthening of scientific research support guided by standard requirements, and attract a wide range of scientific research forces from all parties to work together to consolidate the scientific foundation of standards.
