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.

On November 19, 2024, the National Technical Committee for Spring Standardization organized and held a review meeting for the English version of the submission draft of GB/T 39433 “Gas Spring Design Calculation” (hereinafter referred to as the “submission draft of the standard”) on Tencent Meeting for technical review. A total of 16 industry experts and members of the Spring Standardization Committee, including Yu Fang, Jiang Ying, and Cai Linxu from the Secretariat of the National Technical Committee for Spring Standardization and China Productivity Center for Machinery, Ning Cheng from LeiYan Gas Springs, and Ning Yan from Beijing Leiyan Nitrogen Gas Spring Technology Research Institute, and Wang Haiyang from Jiangsu Sanqiao Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., participated in this meeting.

First of all, the standard drafting working group reported on the task source of the standard, translation instructions, solicitation of opinions, and handling of opinions.

The participating committee members and representatives carefully and meticulously reviewed the submission draft of the standard clause by clause and sentence by sentence, and formed the following review opinions:

1. The review materials of the English version of GB/T 39433 “Gas Spring Design Calculation” provided by the working group are complete, and the structure is standardized, which meets the review requirements for the English version of national standards.
2. The English translation of the content of the submission draft of the standard is accurate.
3. This standard will promote international exchanges and cooperation in the development of related gas spring technologies.
4. After full deliberation, the expert group put forward modification suggestions for some provisions.

The participating experts unanimously agreed to pass the review of the English translation submission draft of GB/T 39433 “Gas Spring Design Calculation”, and requested the drafting working group to revise and improve it according to the opinions put forward by the experts at this meeting, so as to form the final submission draft of the English version of the national standard.

On October 31, 2024, the seminar on 4 standards including “Technical Conditions for Compression Gas Springs”, which was sponsored by the National Spring Standardization Technical Committee and undertaken by LeiYan Gas Springs, was grandly held in Liyang, Jiangsu. This seminar brought together many authoritative units and experts in the industry to jointly contribute ideas for the improvement and development of the gas spring industry standards.

The representatives from China Productivity Center for Machinery, as well as professionals such as Yu Fang, Jiang Ying, and Cai Linxu from the Secretariat of the National Spring Standardization Technical Committee, attended the meeting. Ning Cheng from LeiYan Gas Springs, Ning Yan from Beijing Leiyan Nitrogen Gas Spring Technology Research Institute, Wang Haiyang from Jiangsu Sanqiao Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., and representatives from the German enterprise SUSPA also participated in this grand event.

During the meeting, all parties involved carried out in – depth discussions on the review work of the 4 standards. From the analysis of the current situation of the planned projects, to the comparative research of domestic and international standards, and then to the specific revision suggestions, every link was comprehensively and meticulously exchanged. After full discussion, the meeting formed clear resolutions and matters to be done, pointing out the direction for the follow – up work.

All participating units and experts stated that they would actively carry out relevant work in strict accordance with the requirements of the meeting resolutions. Through joint efforts, they will promote the continuous improvement of gas spring industry standards, enhance the overall development level of the industry, and provide more standardized and high – quality products and services for the market.

The successful holding of this seminar on 4 standards including “Technical Conditions for Compression Gas Springs” has injected new impetus into the standardization process of the gas spring industry, marking a solid step forward for the industry on the path of standardization and specialization. It is of great significance for promoting the healthy development of the gas spring industry. It is believed that with the joint efforts of all parties, the gas spring industry will embrace an even more brilliant future.
