Recently, three local standards for the coordinated development in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region were collaboratively issued by the administrations for market regulation in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.
Focusing on the hot topics of people’s livelihood and cutting-edge fields, the standards target three major areas respectively: the safety of large-scale amusement devices, the cost measurement of information technology innovation software, and the assessment of the mental health of the elderly. Using unified regulations, the region explores a higher-quality path for regional coordinated development.
As for public safety, the Specification for operational management and maintenance of large-scale amusement device requires that operating entities must designate a specific “safety manager” for each piece of equipment and appoint a sufficient number of safety directors and safety officers, all of whom must hold the necessary certifications. In response to sudden malfunctions, the standard highlights that the operating entities should establish a coordinated mechanism with professional firefighting and rescue teams, and regularly conduct exercises.
As for information technology application innovation, the Information technology application innovation—Cost measurement specification for application software adaptation and transformation establishes a unified cost measurement model by defining counting rules and value reference ranges for four major adaptation scenarios: middleware, databases, browsers, and plugins. This model provides a clear and transparent basis for financial approval, and offers software developers a reasonable reference for pricing.
As for the mental health of the elderly, the Specification for psychological assessment for older adults in senior care organization provides elderly care institutions with a scientific and standardized psychological assessment tool. It requires institutions to offer regular psychological screening services for the elderly, and offers guidance on how to early identify anxiety and depression, as well as how to carry out scientific early interventions.
