China has dozens of technological standards for geophysical and geochemical prospecting,which provide strong technical support for basic,public welfare and strategic geological work,and at the same time also provide the basis for the formation and establishment of geophysical and geochemical prospecting technical standard system.Through the study of the standard system of geophysical and geochemical exploration,the authors made a tentative discussion on the principles for the establishment of the standard system,the foundation of the establishment and the technological division,with the purpose of setting up the geophysical and geochemical standard system characterized by scientific classification,reasonable structure,and clear sequence. The results obtained by the authors have positive significance for the standardization of the exploration technology.
