On November 28, 2024, a significant event in the field of mechanical industry standards – the 2024 Annual Meeting of the National Technical Committee for Spring Standardization and the Spring Standard Review Meeting – grandly opened at the Yanxi Lake Institute of Basic Manufacturing Technology of China Academy of Machinery Science, nestled amidst beautiful scenery. This conference not only carried the industry’s deep – seated expectations for standardized development but also gathered numerous authoritative experts and enterprise elites, who jointly contributed ideas and strategies to the standardization process of the spring industry.

The atmosphere at the conference venue was both enthusiastic and solemn. Participants engaged in in – depth discussions and rigorous reviews of a number of key national standards. These standards covered multiple crucial areas of the spring industry, playing a pivotal role in standardizing industry production, enhancing product quality, and promoting technological innovation.

Among the many highly – anticipated standard reviews, the review of the English version of the national standard “Gas Spring Design Calculation” attracted particular attention. A rigorous and professional review team was formed, consisting of industry veterans such as those from China Productivity Center for Machinery, Yu Fang, Jiang Ying, and Cai Linxu from the Secretariat of the National Technical Committee for Spring Standardization, Ning Cheng from LeiYan Gas Springs, and Ning Yan from Beijing Leiyan Nitrogen Gas Spring Technology Research Institute, and Wang Haiyang from Jiangsu SanJo Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. Equipped with profound professional knowledge and rich practical experience, they conducted multiple rounds of meticulous reviews of the English – language submission draft for approval of “Gas Spring Design Calculation”. From the precise translation of professional terms to the accurate interpretation of technical clauses, every detail was carefully deliberated and considered.

Meanwhile, the members of the translation working group also made unremitting efforts. They worked day and night, surmounting numerous difficulties in the language – conversion process, striving to express every professional concept and technical requirement in the standard most accurately and clearly in English. During the long translation process, they constantly consulted materials and sought advice from experts, aiming to ensure that the translation quality reached an international – class standard.

Through the joint efforts of the review team and the translation working group, the English – language submission draft for approval of “Gas Spring Design Calculation” successfully passed at this annual meeting. This achievement is of great significance. It marks that the standards in the field of gas spring design and calculation in China will officially step onto the international stage, building a solid bridge for global technical exchanges and cooperation in the gas spring industry. In the future, domestic and foreign enterprises and scientific research institutions will have a unified standard reference in gas spring design and calculation. Undoubtedly, this will greatly promote the sharing and innovation of relevant technologies, propelling the entire industry to advance in a more standardized and internationalized direction.
