Brigadier General Seyyed Majid Ibn al-Reza, acting Minister of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics, in a message marking World Standards Day, stressed the role of standardization in technological development, improving product quality, and strengthening the country's defensive capabilities.

Brigadier General Seyed Majid Ibn al-Reza, Acting Minister of Defense and Armed Forces Support, in a message on the occasion of World Standards Day, emphasized the role of standardization in the development of technology, improving the quality of products and strengthening the country's defense capability.

Ambassador Arjan - Political Group: Acting Minister of Defense and Armed Forces Support in a message emphasized the strategic role of standardization in the development of technology and strengthening the country's defense power: one of the necessities of the defense industry today is to create a smart balance between the speed of responding to the needs of the armed forces, the considerations of defense economy and war economy, resource efficiency and quality assurance at the highest possible level.

In the message of Brigadier General Seyed Majid Ibn Al-Reza on the occasion of the National Standard Day, it is stated: The designation of October 14 as the World Standard Day is an opportunity to emphasize the place of standardization in industrial development, technological progress, product quality improvement, and strengthening the competitiveness of countries. In today's world, a standard is not just a set of technical criteria and criteria; Rather, it is the common language of science and industry, a measure of quality and one of the foundations of trust, reliability and sustainable progress.

In the continuation of this message, the experience of the recent war showed once again that in the field of defense, quality and standard are the components that determine the performance of equipment and systems. The higher the quality of design, manufacturing, testing and evaluation of products, the better the scope for increasing their accuracy, reliability and effectiveness. From this point of view, the real field is a test for evaluating industrial and technological capacities and measuring the degree of compliance of products with operational requirements; A valuable experience that should lead to the promotion of national and defense standards with a scientific and systematic approach.

Acting Minister of Defense and Armed Forces Support has mentioned in his message: In the defense industry, the need to increase the speed of research, technology development and production, never means less attention to quality and standards. Acceleration in production leads to real strengthening of defense power when it is accompanied by maintaining quality, meeting technical requirements and ensuring product performance. Based on this, one of the necessities of the defense industry today is to create a smart balance between the speed of responding to the needs of the armed forces, the considerations of defense economy and war economy, resource efficiency and quality assurance at the highest possible level.

In the continuation of this message, it is stated: The development of indigenous capacities and the localization of strategic technologies also require the formulation and updating of standards and regulations that are appropriate to the conditions, capabilities and needs of the country. These standards should be formulated based on current knowledge, scientific principles, experiences from the field of practice and intelligent use of internationally recognized achievements in order to support innovation and domestic production, and provide the basis for continuous improvement of product quality and reliability. Localization reaches real maturity when, in addition to acquiring design and manufacturing knowledge, the ability to evaluate, test, control quality, and continuously improve products is also institutionalized inside the country.

It is stated in the message of Sardar Ibn al-Reza: The success of young experts and knowledge-based companies in designing and producing advanced products shows the valuable scientific and technological capacity of the country. These achievements become a permanent capital for the national industry when they have precise systems of standardization and quality evaluation along with creativity and technical knowledge. Iranian youth can not only meet the needs of the country but also strengthen the presence of Iranian products in international competitive arenas by relying on local knowledge, innovation spirit and scientific discipline.

Acting Minister of Defense and Support of the Armed Forces has mentioned in his message: Today, industrial and technological competition has turned into quality competition more than in the past. In such a situation, reaching international markets, developing exports, increasing trust in domestic products and expanding industrial cooperation, without complying with valid standards and proving the reliability of products, will face serious limitations. From this point of view, standardization is the connecting link of technological self-reliance to economic competitiveness and sustainable development.

This message continues: The Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Support, understanding this strategic necessity, considers quality improvement, strengthening standardization and test and evaluation systems, development of indigenous technologies and increasing the reliability of defense products as requirements for the progress of the defense industry. Achieving these goals requires synergy between industrial organizations, scientific and research centers, universities, knowledge-based companies and specialists of the country, as well as effective use of national experiences and capacities.

While honoring World Standards Day, I appreciate the efforts of specialists, experts, researchers and activists in the field of standards and quality in the country, especially those in the defense industry, and I hope that by strengthening the culture of standardization, developing scientific evaluation systems and institutionalizing continuous improvement, more effective steps will be taken in the direction of increasing product quality, improving the competitiveness of national industries, and strengthening the defense authority of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The proposed minister of the Ministry of Defense and Support of the Armed Forces met with the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and discussed the support of the armed forces, the continuation of the production of defense equipment and the development of industrial and technological cooperation.

The proposed minister of defense and support of the armed forces, while explaining his plans in the parliament, announced the strengthening of air defense, updating of defense equipment, development of emerging technologies, increase of domestic production capacity and construction of housing for the employees of the armed forces.

Brigadier General Ibn al-Reza, Acting Minister of Defense and Support of the Armed Forces, in a message on the occasion of the Holy Defense Week, considered the eight-year defense of the Iranian nation and the recent imposed wars as a manifestation of faith, unity and national will to protect the country's independence and territorial integrity, and emphasized the continuation of the path of self-sufficiency and the development of indigenous scientific, technological and defense capabilities.
