普陀成为上海市首个标准化服务产业试点区 - 2017年04月28日

PUTUO District has forged a strategic cooperation with the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technology Supervision to launch a pilot zone of standardized and professional services.

Authorities say they will spare no effort to create a good environment for the development of standardized service industry.

Putuo officials released 11 supporting policies and launched the pilot zone at a media conference on April 13 that included government officials and representatives of more than 20 enterprises.

Huang Xiaolu, director of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technology Supervision, Zhou Minhao, director of Putuo District, and Yu Guangyao, chairman of Shanghai Shentong Metro Co., Ltd jointly unveiled a plaque to launch the zone.

District director Zhou said the cultivation of standardized services were in line with the nation’s demands of industrial transformation and upgrade.

Policies will play a guiding role in standardizing a service industry which will be more professional and clustered. Leading enterprises will be introduced and nurtured while a public service platform will also be established.

The pilot zone will help to set criteria for quality and service in Putuo.

Chen Xiaojun, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technology Supervision, said that now is an important time in the development of a Shanghai service industry operating to uniform conduct and standards.

Shanghai is well placed because of its industrial agglomeration, outstanding service capabilities and the flow-on effect of being a leading industrial city.

The 11 new policies for Putuo will help push the benefits of agglomeration, help attract talent and promote exchanges of technical information.

Seven leading standardized services sector organizations, including the Shanghai Association for Quality and the Shanghai Association of Standardization, have signed contracts with the Putuo District Investment Promotion Office to settle in the district.

Officials from the district Supervision and Administration Bureau said that they will support the initiative with policies and funding to help companies re-base to the area and develop organizations and enterprises involved in standardized services.
