This milestone represents a groundbreaking achievement for Nansha in establishing standardized and international data asset management capabilities.

Since 2022, Nansha has partnered with the Guangzhou Standardization Institute to address rising regulatory and service challenges caused by a surge in market entities. They work together to implement ISO 55013, the first global standard for data asset management. This extensive framework spans the entire data lifecycle and provides a common language to enhance data quality and unlock value.

Nansha has led the way in implementing data-driven management in high-frequency scenarios like elevator maintenance, food, and pharmaceutical supervision. For example, real-time operational data allows for on-demand elevator servicing, enhancing accuracy and safety. Additionally, a business entity mapping system simplifies risk inspections and promotes industrial clustering.

This certification emphasizes Nansha's innovative public sector data management and provides a model that other regions in China can replicate. Moving forward, Nansha aims to expand data application scenarios, boost regulatory efficiency, and enhance the business environment, driving high-quality development with strong digital momentum.
