At present, the concept of smart wearable is hot, and the future is expected to become a new explosion point in the IT industry. Some analysts predict that the global wearable device market will reach $7.1 billion in 2015.
However, at present, smart wearable devices have various forms, many functions, many manufacturers involved in the development of new products, and the product quality is uneven. The equipment safety, performance, equipment intelligence, and long-term wearability of the equipment need to be further improved.
How to standardize and standardize the wearable device industry? What role does the third-party inspection and testing organization play in the entire industry chain of the wearable device industry? As a world-renowned testing and certification organization that leads the development of the industry, TÃœV Rheinland interviewed the Secretary-General of China's Wearable Computing Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance and industry expert Yang Wei. Secretary-General Yang elaborated his own unique views on the problems and challenges faced by the wearable device industry and contributed solutions from the perspective of testing and certification.

The standard is missing into the "roadblock" of wearable devices
Although the emerging field of wearable devices has been developed for some time, domestic regulations and standards are still not perfect. Secretary-General Yang pointed out that there is still a long way to go before the standardization of the wearable device industry.
First of all, a clear definition of wearable products is needed, which is an important part of the forthcoming China Wearable Alliance General Specification. This definition focuses primarily on the shape of the product, not the function of the product. The morphological characteristics of wearable devices are mainly direct contact with the human body. To give a simple example, in China, electronic products only need to pass 3C certification, and wearable products have certain form specialities (directly in contact with people). If there is no specific requirement from the testing organization, it will bring some potential harm to the human body. .
Secondly, from a functional point of view, wearable products have cross-border attributes, and there are many problems in application specifications. For wearable products used in special fields such as medical care, because the medical industry itself has some norms and standards of its own, it is difficult for wearable electronic products if there is no testing organization to open the gap between the wearable industry and the medical industry. Get promoted and applied. Secretary Yang pointed out that the lack of corresponding standards has made questions about product functionality and marketing.
Finally, as an emerging industry, especially because our country's electronics manufacturing industry has neglected technology research and development, and focused on the characteristics of application and promotion, resulting in serious product homogeneity. Without a standard specification, white-hot competition and price wars will gradually lower product quality. Therefore, the entire industry urgently needs the guidance of third-party organizations to distinguish between wearable products in terms of quality and reliability, and help consumers to intelligently select smart wearable products. Secretary-General Yang particularly emphasized that in the development of industry standardization, third-party testing organizations can do what the industry alliances can't do, and they will certainly be able to do much.
TÃœV Rhein has helped to standardize this
Secretary-General Yang believes that solving the current lack of industry and product standards for wearable devices is a key point in releasing this blue ocean market, and third-party testing and certification institutions such as TÃœV Rheinland can capture the industry as quickly and as accurately as government agencies. The development status and trend of the market can provide professional and independent product analysis and evaluation for wearable devices, and help products with high reliability and applicability to stand out. It is an important driving force on the road of standardization of wearable devices.
Standards can establish a baseline for the wearable industry, regulate the healthy development of the industry, prevent mismatches, and promote interoperability and product development. In the past, the National Standards Commission and the General Administration of Quality Supervision led the development of relevant standards; in order to adapt to the current situation of emerging industries, the relevant state departments issued relevant regulations from April last year to March this year, encouraging alliance information agencies and third-party institutions to participate. The certification function of the CNCA has been greatly weakened, and the functions in this area are handed over to third-party service agencies. Secretary-General Yang believes that TÃœV Rheinland, as a world-renowned testing and certification organization, can bring international standards, experience and technology to China. The participation of TÃœV Rheinland is also beneficial to the development of the industry.
At present, the formation of industrial alliances, industry-university-research cooperation is the realization path for the development of effective standards. As the executive director unit of China Wearable Computing Industry Alliance, TÃœV Rhein has always cooperated with and supported the activities initiated by the alliance, and actively participated in the development of alliance standards for the standards development of China's wearable industry. Development has contributed to its own strength.
