All the more developed industrial countries, more emphasis on the standardization work, as to give the industry to bring quality, efficiency and effectiveness. Mold is a special forming tool products, although strong individual, but also industrial products, the standardization work is very important. Standardization of mold include mold design and implementation of technical standards, standard mold production and application of standards and related publicity, implementation and promotion. China mold standardization late start, coupled with publicity and promotion efforts to implement small, so the standardization of mold behind the production, but lags behind the developed world, many industrial countries. Foreign mold developed countries such as Japan, the United States, Germany, the standardization of mold nearly 100-year history, the standard formulation of the mold, mold standard parts production and supply, has formed a complete system. Guarantee of the Chinese mold work only from the "National Standardization Technical Committee mold" set up in 1983 after it began. China has about 20,000 units of mold, mold production has made significant progress, but compared with the requirements of industrial production, still could not get one of the important reasons is that the degree of standardization and the mold level is not high.

China mold standardization system, including standard four categories, namely: the standard mold base, mold process quality standards, the mold parts and mold-related standards and technical standards. Mold standards and can be categorized mainly stamping die mold standard, the standard plastic injection mold, die casting mold standards, forging mold standard, standard fasteners cold heading dies, drawing dies standard, the standard cold extrusion dies, rubber molds, glass molds and automotive die standards and other ten categories. At present, China has a total of 50 number more than 300 standard mold number and automotive die standards of 14 parts in 244 varieties of common units and a total of 363 standards. Development and promotion of these standards implement and improve standardization and China mold level.

With the increase in international exchanges, import mold development and localization of foreign-funded enterprises supporting the mold of its international standardization request was made, on the one hand in the standard-setting attention as the adoption of international standards or standards of advanced countries, including the adoption of advanced business standards; the other hand, many standard mold manufacturing enterprises according to market needs, in addition to Chinese standard production mold standard parts, but also by foreign advanced standards of corporate production mold standard parts. Such as Japan's "rich teba" German "Haas test" and the company's standards have been widely popular in China.

Mold industry is often referred to as "standardization of mold" concept is more complex, different from commonly used in machinery industry, "the degree of standardization." The latter generally uses standard parts can be used to measure the rate, while the former often refers to "use the standard mold coverage." As China's standardization would not die late, mold standard parts production, marketing, promotion and application of relatively backward, so, less mold standard parts specifications, supply is not timely, complete and poor long standing problem, so that the standard mold using the coverage has been low. Although this year due to foreign intervention, the ratio has been greatly improved, but overall is still very low. According to preliminary estimates, at present it easy to scale roughly between 40% -45%. The international community is generally above 70%, of which more than 80% of small and medium molds. As China's mold on the nature and location of different areas, mold standard parts used in coverage are very different. Foreign-funded enterprises than any other business is high, the South than the North's high business. This is most obvious in Guangdong. Guangdong, a large concentration of foreign-funded enterprises, their business ideas led to other changes and market development, and thus the mold of Guangdong enterprises to use standard mold coverage is much higher than other regions of the mold business. Implement the standard mold, mold standard parts used, not only can improve the quality of the mold, and mold can reduce production costs and shorten production cycle mold. The relevant statistics show that: the use of standard mold mold processing time allows companies to save 25% -45%, can reduce the mold cycle 30% -40%. With the variety of industrial products, small volume, personalized, fast development of the production cycle, in order to improve the market economy's rapid response capabilities and competitiveness, in the mold production cycle are increasingly important today, meaning more standardized molds significant.

Mold standard parts for high-volume professional social production, but China has long been a scattered, chaotic, poor situation. The so-called "casual" is mainly standard mold manufacturer points too many and too scattered, rarely lead to an economic volume. The so-called "chaos", mainly the standard chaos, companies often according to the national standard, line marked, and Ministry of the past several standard and some enterprise-standard production, but also daily, Germany, the United States, Switzerland and some foreign countries with foreign standards name of business enterprise standard production. Meanwhile, the mold standard parts market is chaotic, disorderly competition caused many adverse consequences. The so-called "poor" is standard mold of poor quality and poor efficiency of enterprises. In recent years, with foreign intervention, the situation is improving, but not fundamentally changed. Production compared with the need, a big difference. Some enterprises do not work hard from the quality and level, but only in price on an issue, resulting in lower prices after causing too much cutting corners, fish, lower quality, which bring disaster to many companies, making the standard mold overall margins, some companies even to the loss edge.

Sale of part of the standard mold plays an important role on the market. At present although there is nearly one hundred point of sale, but most small, small stocks, sales of small, even pieces of China Mould Industry Association Standards Committee standard mold joint net sales of more than 50 business units, the same problems. Individual units planned for online sales and e-commerce, but work soon started to scale researches.

China "15" mold industry development planning: to expand the variety of mold standard parts, to improve accuracy, to exchange. One major species, such as mold, oriented pieces, putting, elastic components, to achieve economies of scale by mass production. 2005 using standard mold coverage to 60% in 2010 to over 70% (of which 60% of large mold parts standardization), basically meet the market needs, mold, oriented pieces, putting, push tube, elastic components, standard components, small standard parts (such as the standard punch and die, gate sets, locating rings, hooks, etc.) and hot runner components is the focus of development. Standardization visible mold and mold standard parts in the arduous tasks and bright future. China Mould Industry Association Standards Committee of the mold pieces of the guiding ideology of standardization work is: Standardization is the basis for specialization is the direction of commercialization is the key.
