Introduction

One of the contents of standardization activities is to draft high-quality standardization documents to establish complete technical rules. In order to ensure the effectiveness of this initiative, our country has established and continuously improved the basic national standards system that supports the standard formulation work. In this system, GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents" establishes the generally applicable drafting rules for various types of standardized documents. However, for the drafting of specific standardization documents, more targeted specific rules need to be established.

Therefore, a rule system that combines general rules and specific rules is formed to promote the formation of high-quality standardized documents.

GB/T 20001 "Standard Drafting Rules" is a document prepared to establish specific rules. Features or standards based on standard content for standardized objects, standards are divided into different functional types or object categories. Standard requirements for different function types and object categories it is necessary to establish drafting rules respectively, so GB/T 20001 is divided into two groups: the first group before Part 10, which is for standards of different functional types accurately establish drafting rules; Part 10 (inclusive) and onwards are the second group, establishing drafting rules for standards of different object categories.

The overall function of standards is to establish technical rules for various activities or their results. This overall function is achieved through the special features in different functional types of standards. Make rules to achieve it. The standard functional type includes four aspects: First, the definition of professional fields or standardized objects to facilitate smooth communication; concepts, symbols or classification results, and establish the terminology standards, symbol standards, and classification standards of the corresponding system; the second is to verify that the activities and their results are the test standards describe the verification activities whether they comply with the corresponding rules; the third is to stipulate the rules for the activities and their results that can be directly applied or can be declared to comply.

The fourth is the guideline that provides directional guidance for the formation of technical solutions or standardized documents, etc. The application of these standards will establish the conceptual order, behavioral order and result order of various activities, thus promoting common benefits.

In order to fully reflect the functions of the standard when drafting the standard, the first set of documents in GB/T 20001 will accurately describe the standards for each functional type. The drafting rules that need to be followed are planned to be composed of eight parts:

---Part 1: Terminology standards. The purpose is to establish drafting rules for defining the standards of the conceptual system in order to form a basis for communication.

---Part 2: Symbol standards. The purpose is to establish drafting rules for standards defining symbologies in order to provide rapid identification, effective a system of visual representation concepts for effective communication.

---Part 3: Classification criteria. The purpose is to establish drafting rules for establishing standards for classification systems/classification results so that they can be used in classification communicate on the basis of.

---Part 4: Test standards. The purpose is to establish drafting rules for criteria that describe test activities and draw conclusions so that product to demonstrate the performance/efficiency of a process or service.

---Part 5: Specification standards. The purpose is to establish drafting rules for standards that specify verifiable requirements so that products, whether the process or service complies with the specifications in the standard.

---Part 6: Procedure standards. The purpose is to establish drafting rules for standards defining traceable/verifiable processes/procedures in order to can verify whether the prescribed procedures have been followed.

---Part 7: Guidance standards. The purpose is to establish drafting rules for standards that provide universal and directional guidance so that they can be mastered the development rules of a certain topic can form technical solutions or standardized documents.

---Part 8: Evaluation criteria. The purpose is to establish drafting rules for standards that stipulate a quantifiable evaluation index system so that the evaluation can be evaluate products, processes, services or systems and derive more comprehensive results.

This document is part 8 of it, "Evaluation Criteria". When it is not only necessary to determine whether the standardized object meets the specific requirements specified in the standard, when it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of products, processes or services, especially more complex systems, the typical approach is to confirm the specific characteristics in the standard.

Establish a quantifiable evaluation index system, stipulate the value rules for evaluation indicators, and describe the rules for forming evaluation results. The standards drafted in this way are It is an evaluation standard, and its function is to establish the evaluation rules through the establishment of the evaluation index system. Its core technical elements include "evaluation indicators". These three elements are the distinctive features of evaluation standards that distinguish them from other functional-type standards. Characteristics, their organic combination makes it possible to comprehensively evaluate products, processes, services or systems.

The preparation of this document combines the research and practice of my country's standardization principles and methods, focusing on the principles of comprehensive coverage and mutual independence as well as the principle of quantification, the drafting rules of evaluation standards have been established from the aspects of the structure of evaluation standards and the writing rules of elements, making my country's evaluation the drafting of standards can be based on evidence, thereby improving the drafting quality and application efficiency of evaluation standards and effectively bringing into play the functions of such standards.

1 Scope

This document establishes the structure of the evaluation criteria and the overall principles for drafting, and stipulates the name of the document as well as the evaluation index system, value rules, the writing and presentation rules of evaluation result formation rules, organization and implementation of evaluation activities and other elements.

This document is applicable to the drafting of evaluation standards that take products, processes, services or systems as standardization objects at all levels of standards.
