In order to fill the vacancy in the field of rare earth new material application test and evaluation, and solve the bottleneck problems affecting the high-quality development of China's rare earth new material industry, such as weak service industry capacity, imperfect standard system and lack of sharing mechanism, Baotou Rare Earth Research Institute, according to the key direction and task of the special industrial transformation and upgrading of the Ministry of industry and information technology in 2018, Apply for and win the bid for the project of "national new material testing and evaluation platform industry center rare earth new material industry", and jointly build the "national rare earth new material testing and evaluation industry center" by integrating the backbone testing and evaluation units and other relevant testing, evaluation and service institutions in the industry and cooperating with relevant enterprises and social capital.

The project construction fund is 180 million yuan, including 45 million yuan allocated by the state and 135 million yuan raised by the enterprise. The construction of the center has been started in October 2018 and is planned to be completed in September 2021. The project mainly carries out the construction of test and evaluation system in key fields such as rare earth permanent magnet materials, rare earth hydrogen storage materials, rare earth luminescent materials, rare earth catalytic materials, rare earth polishing materials, rare earth scintillation crystal materials, high-purity rare earth metals and compounds from the aspects of test and evaluation, simulation verification, standard system, certification system, test and evaluation database and public service platform.
The center is committed to continuously improving the public service capacity. Based on the preliminary construction, in the next stage, in terms of material testing, the center focuses on promoting the construction of testing and characterization capacity of three types of rare earth new materials around rare earth catalytic materials, rare earth polishing materials and rare earth luminescent materials; In the construction of test and evaluation methods and standard system, projects are launched for three new materials: rare earth catalytic materials, rare earth polishing materials and rare earth luminescent materials; Relying on big data, we initially established the framework of the new data test and Evaluation Center for large data centers, and built a new mode of "Internet plus testing and evaluation" service, and realized effective integration of testing and evaluation resources and effective sharing of resources. In addition, by strengthening the construction of management system, innovating assessment and incentive, expanding external exchanges and cooperation, strengthening the training and introduction of talents, and constantly improving the industry influence and popularity of new material testing and evaluation platform, we will contribute to the high-quality development of rare earth industry in North China and even China.
The national rare earth new material testing and evaluation platform can effectively meet the needs of national development strategy, and plays an important supporting role in China's efficient and rational utilization of rare earth resources and improving the international competitiveness of rare earth new material industry. At the same time, the establishment and improvement of the platform can effectively promote the coordinated development of R & D, production, application, testing and evaluation of rare earth new materials, realize division of labor and cooperation in the field of rare earth new materials, and promote the internationalization and modernization of rare earth industry.
