The Soviet Union's practice and experience of comprehensive standardization were introduced into China in the early 1980s. National Standards Bureau（NSB） explored its feasibility and has achieved success through thepilot. In 1987， State Science and Technology Commission （SSTC）issued the research task "program guided with science and technology-Comprehensive standardization" to National Institute of Standardization（NIS）， aiming to develop a set of national standards through furtherpilot studies f

Sino-Soviet relations were extremely tense in those years when comprehensive standardization was vigorously promoted in the Soviet Union， especially during the 10 years of the Chinese Cultural Revolution， the technical exchange on standardization between China and the Soviet Union was completely interrupted. We knew nothing about this major change in the standardization field of the Soviet Union. The situation had not changed until the early 1980s when the National Institute of Standardization（NIS） sent experts to the Soviet Union for investigation who brought back a lot of information， collected a batch of documentation and successively introduced standards and monographs on comprehensive stand-ardization. Many experts devoted themselves to the translation and research of comprehensive standardization literature and published the books related to comprehensive standardization. A warm atmosphere of studying comprehensive standardization arose in the standardization field at national wide. Just at that time， scien-tists represented by Qian Xuesen began to publicize and popularize systems theory， information theory and cybernetics， providing us theoretical weapons for the new era. When systems theory was applied to review comprehensive standardization， it was surprised to find very close connections and many si-milarities between the two， which further motivated the enthusiasm for the exploration and practice of comprehensive standardization. To this end， the China Association for Standardization （CAS） and the NIS jointly held a nationwide academic symposium on comprehensive standardization.
