Strategy research of internationalization of engineering construction standards for the Belt and Road Initiative

Abstract

To establish a comprehensive, multi-layer and multi-disciplinary network is the major aim of the “Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)”. Infrastructure connectivity is the main global trend and the basis of connection for trade and people communications, and it becomes the high priority of development of the BRI. Standards are the basic rules for connectivity, and engineering construction standards are also seen as the technical references for economic activities and general language worldwide, which play the important roles during development of the BRI. In order to explore the development strategy for internationalization of engineering construction standards, this paper firstly analyze the development status and demand of standardization of engineering construction of the countries and regions encompassed by the infrastructure corridors based on the investigations, and then, an in-depth analysis on internationalization of engineering construction standards in China is carried out. Finally, multi-level suggestions on internationalization of engineering construction standards promotion have been presented.
