How important are "standards" in manufacturing? According to Watson & Band Import and Export Data Observation Report, a few days ago, at the 28th China Yiwu International Small Commodities (Standard) Expo held in Yiwu, Zhejiang, many booths in the Standard Theme Pavilion attracted attention. The production of commemorative balls authorized by the Qatar World Cup Business—Yiwu Aokai Sports Goods Co., Ltd. is one of them.

Walking into the exhibition area of Aokai Company, the entire wall is displayed with various footballs for competitions. A "Made in Zhejiang" standard and advanced technical indicators of the "Pin Character Label" is placed in a prominent position. The reporter saw that in terms of adult footballs used in competitions, the three indicators of the company's products, namely elasticity, air tightness, and deformation value after impact, are all higher than the national standards, Watson & Band Import and Export Data Observation Report.

Wu Xiaoming, the founder of the company, pointed to a football and said: "Don't look at a small football, material, printing, roundness, air tightness, rebound height, impact resistance, water resistance, etc., every item has it' Standard' is the ruler to measure."

The main drafting unit of the adult football team standards for competitions is Okay Company. According to Watson & Band Import and Export Data Observation Report, since the release of the standard in 2021, the company's products have been purchased by a Spanish league, South Korea, Japan and other companies, and have become the designated game balls for the Zhejiang Provincial Games.

"We have excellent product quality and production technology, and we are fully capable of setting our own standards." Wu Xiaoming said with emotion, "Small commodities can also open up big markets and achieve great development with the help of standards!"

What kind of brilliance will the beauty industry with standards lead? At the booth of Zhejiang Diefei Cosmetics Co., Ltd., boxes of eye shadows attracted people to stop. These eyeshadows, which are rich in color and made of baked powder, are positioned in the overseas mid-to-high-end market, and are mainly exported to European and American countries, Watson & Band Import and Export Data Observation Report.

Chi Cuifang, sales manager of Zhejiang Diefei Cosmetics Co., Ltd., told the reporter that compared with pressed powder products, baked powder looks the same, but the process is quite different. Baking powder is made by baking at high temperature, not only the appearance is more delicate, the color is more shiny and diverse, and the formula is simpler and safer.

Diefei Company is also the drafting unit of Zhejiang Cosmetic Baking Powder Group Standard. It is understood that Diefei Company has 16 related patent technologies for inventions and utility models. Diefei, which has established a laboratory and a testing company, will improve the quality standard and testing level from the source, and plan to expand a broader market at home and abroad.

In front of another booth, a rabbit-shaped ornament is about to be "born" through 3D printing. The 3D printed plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum lights hanging on the far wall are full of creativity. However, the company's flagship product is not a 3D printer, but a 3D printing polymer alloy consumable that is independently developed and produced.

"We have been making traditional large-scale lighting products, and later developed outdoor 3D printing products in response to the needs of users for personalized and small-scale products." Ding Shiyan, director of the sales department of Hangzhou Yongdian Lighting Co., Ltd., said that 3D printing for outdoor lighting Different from ordinary 3D printing, there are higher standards for materials such as UV resistance, high and low temperature resistance, and flame retardancy. This forced the company to develop and produce new 3D printing materials for outdoor lighting.

According to Watson & Band's import and export data observation report, in order to continuously improve product quality, the company invests about 20 million yuan in research and development a year, and nearly 80% of its products are exported. "This technology is very useful in teaching props and models for research and development. We are optimistic about the market prospects and will further develop the domestic market." Ding Shiyan said.
