Measurement of human understanding of the tools around the material world is an important modern civilization of mankind's technological base and management infrastructure, the development of measuring instruments, covering all walks of life, families, and deep into every corner of human life。

　　Measurement instruments designed to measure the former refers to the water, gas, electricity, oil pressure, flow, temperature, precision equipment. Including thousands of varieties of products, in the last century, 20 years later, with the micro-electronics technology and the increasing development of communication technology. Measured in accordance with modern science, including scientific measurement division, legal metrology, engineering measures three aspects. Scientific measurement and the establishment of the task is to develop basic standards for measuring devices, to ensure that money transfer and the source, and works as a lecturer in legal metrology to provide basic protection. Legal metrology task is an important livelihood of the measuring instruments and commodities Metering behavior measured by the administrative department of government supervision according to law, to ensure that relevant and correct. The task of engineering measurement and other measurements for the whole society traceability of activities and provide measurement calibration, testing services, on this basis, we divided into specific geometric measurement, temperature measurement, mechanical measurement, electromagnetic measurement, optical measurement, acoustic measurement , electronics, measurement, time and frequency measurement, measurement of ionizing radiation, chemical measurement. Measuring instruments of all types of businesses more than six thousand, has formed a relatively complete variety of categories, with certain technical base and production scale of the industrial system has become the second largest in Asia excluding Japan, producer of measuring instruments. Ninth Five-Year, China's total industrial measuring instruments situation is developing. Product miniaturization, integration, intelligence, the development direction of the bus and so keeping the pace of international development, and a number of technologically advanced new products, a number of private enterprises with considerable scale of the rise of metering equipment industry in China FN. Should clearly see that, although our measurement instrument industry has developed to some extent, but far from meeting the national economy, scientific research, national defense and other aspects of social life, the urgent needs of the growing, measuring instrument products in China, most of belong to middle and low level of technology and reliability, stability and other key indicators not yet fully meet the requirements, high-grade, large-scale imports nearly all instruments and equipment, mid-range products, and many of the key components, foreign companies also occupy the domestic market share of more than 60%。

　　First, progress in science and technology innovation and industrialization stagnated. Modern measuring the optical, mechanical, electrical, computer, and many kinds of basic disciplines of highly integrated product, the new technology is very sensitive to products of modern industry, technology upgrading and development of new frequencies very quickly one category, every year a group of new product introductions, particularly in today's information age, increased competition, slightly slower pace of development, will be far behind. Already entered the 21st century, China's general level of measurement instruments still in the early 20th century, 80 the international level, large and high-end imports nearly all instruments and equipment, and many need special equipment or space, affordable products to ensure that quality need to overcome many difficulties. Technological innovation and industrial development has stagnated, restricting industrial development of measuring instruments of a "bottleneck" restricting our measurement instruments and industrial technology innovation and development has stagnated there are three main factors: the first is a serious shortage of research funding; The second is the lack of personnel; the third is the lack of government, industry, academia, research, whole, with the effective integration。

　　Second, product stability and reliability of long-term lack of fundamental solution。

　　Of measurement products, including industrial automation instrument systems, communications devices, although technical indicators gap with foreign similar products is not great, but the stability and reliability is not high. Greatly limited the use of metering products and credibility, the reason there are three aspects：

(1) Long-term neglect of the basic technology research development。
(2) made the basis of common parts and pieces of quality, but off。
(3) business-to-product quality control and poor management, product quality, but off。

　　Third, the old system hindered the development of enterprises

　　The old system is restricting our economy, especially the development of a common problem of state-owned enterprises. Equipment industry is no exception. Quite a number of state-owned enterprises, due to the shackles of long-term under the old system, students can not disentangle the historical burden, loss of vitality in the market competition, production and management serious landslide, a large number of backbone enterprises, struggling to exist Therefore, to accelerate institutional reform is an important way of development。

　　Fourth, the development of measuring instruments industry constrained by the objective environment in its major performance：

(1) tax too heavy. Measurement products for enterprises, generally small, small batch production, the total output value and economic efficiency is not high, but the modern measuring instruments, driving the national economy has a huge multiplier effect generated immeasurable benefits. Has such special attributes of the industry, like other industries, like levy of 17% VAT, 33% income tax and tax the same proportion of the tariff is too heavy。
(2) all levels of government, including industry, authorities and banks, tax, business development and other departments understand the importance of measurement products industry, support is not enough。
(3) the lack of support for the development of procurement policies of national industry。
(4) The poor in our basic industries. Including product quality, service capacity and credibility of the capabilities are poor, a direct impact on industry。

　　The revitalization of our industry, measuring instruments countermeasures and suggestions. To revitalize the industry, the State shall be the State Planning Commission, Economic and Trade Commission, Ministry of Finance and other relevant departments to develop the necessary support policy consultations, comprehensive measurement of a variety of modern high-tech achievements. The development of modern measuring instruments and meters, must focus on talent, huge amounts of money, so need a group with considerable economic strength of large companies with famous brands, as the leading enterprises to drive the development of the industry as soon as possible while restructuring the state-owned enterprises, the development of state-owned enterprises inject new vitality. Generally small because the equipment industry, history is not long, and the "burden" of light, and easy to adjust product structure, so conversion is relatively easy, the proposed restructuring of state owned enterprises to speed up the pace, to make clear requirements, to promote measures equipment industry will have a positive role in promoting。
