Standardization is an important means for high-quality implementation of ecological civilization construction due to its role in promoting sci-technological innovation and industrial development, alleviating environmental pollution, improving resource utilization efficiency. It can promote the formation of models that can be used for reference, copied and popularized in the pilot demonstration areas of ecological civilization construction. It's necessary for high-quality implementation of ecological civilization construction to analyze the status and problems, put forward countermeasures and suggestions in standardization of key areas. This study gave the detailed analysis in standardization of seven key areas, including the nationally territorial space planning, economical and intensive use of natural resources, ecological and environmental monitoring, ecological and environmental conservation and restoration, a green way of life, market value realization of ecological product, tackling climate change. The results showed that the number of national standards was more than 1000, and 95% of the standards distributed in economical and intensive use of natural resources, ecological and environmental conservation and restoration, and a green way of life. An in-depth analysis pointed out the problems in standard system, standard development and standard implementation. For the standard system, ecological security-oriented system pattern has not yet formed, less market-driven standards were not able to satisfy the needs, existing standards were unevenly distributed among the key areas. For the standard development, weaker top-level planning and team are not enough to support the development of high-quality standards. For the standard implementation, the differences in the nature of standards, policy formulation, market application and low authority on standard developer led to poor effort and the imbalanced implementation of standards among the key areas, e.g. higher percent compulsory standards, consumption policies, market needs in energy area drove the standards utilization in energy saving products and enterprises, inversely, lower standards utilization occurred in areas of environmental conservation and water resource. Based on the above problems, further suggestions on how to carry out standardization were put forward, specifically as follows:firstly, optimize standard system, e.g. future standard system can reflect the systematic and holistic thought of ecological civilization construction, standard and technology will be developed integratedly to promote timely update of standard, the areas of weakness can be strengthened and the loopholes can be closed to facilitate balanced development of standards among the key areas, secondly, strengthen ability to develop standard by reinforcing top-level planning, enhancing talent resources and increasing enterprise participation, thirdly, innovate standard implementation path, e.g. the performance evaluation and incentive-restraint mechanism will be established and standard publicity channels can be expanded.
