　　I. Development Goals

　　By 2025, a modern and advanced measurement system will be preliminarily established across the city, and metrological technical capabilities will rank among the mid-level standards within the province. Metrological testing capabilities will be significantly enhanced, with more than 100 new or upgraded municipal-level public metrological standards established, and each county (city) maintaining at least 20 public metrological standards. The city’s public metrological standards will meet over 95% of the public’s needs for traceability and value transfer.The metrology regulatory system and mechanisms will be gradually improved. Metrology regulatory work across the city will be coordinated, with strengthened management in key areas such as trade settlement, healthcare, safety protection, ecological environment, energy and resources, and “dual carbon” initiatives. Innovative smart metrology regulatory models will be adopted to establish a comprehensive regulatory system covering the entire chain of metrology data, activities, and results. Public awareness of metrological traceability will be enhanced, and an open, shared, and collaborative development mechanism will be established and improved.

　　By 2035, the level of metrology innovation in the city will have significantly improved, and the capacity for metrology service support will have substantially increased, with online measurement technologies widely adopted. Intelligent regulatory models will become increasingly mature, and metrology supervision will be more scientific and effective. A culture of metrology science will be deeply ingrained in the public consciousness, and a shared social awareness of metrology will be further solidified. A system for the traceability of measurement values and a metrology technical service system that meets the needs of the city’s high-quality economic and social development will be established.
