1. Different from the general standardization system, the standardization of logistics system involves a wider range of areas, and its objects are not as single as the general standardization system, but include many kinds of mechanical and electrical, construction, tools, working methods and so on. Although in a large system, but the lack of commonness, resulting in a wide variety of standards, standards of complex content, but also to the unity of the standard and coordination brought great difficulties.

2. Logistics standardization system belongs to the secondary system, which is due to the late birth of logistics and logistics management ideas. Each subsystem of the logistics system has already realized the standardization of the system before it was incorporated into the logistics system. And after years of application, continuous development and consolidation, has been difficult to change. In the implementation of logistics standardization, we must take this as the basis. In individual cases, although the old standardization system can be overturned and the new standardization system can be rebuilt according to the requirements of the logistics system, but the logistics standardization system is usually established on the basis of the standardization of each subsystem. It is inevitable to establish a new logistics standardization system from the Angle of adaptation and coordination, but it is impossible to innovate completely.

3. Logistics standardization has a very strong international character. Due to the trend of economic globalization brought about by the increase of international exchanges, and all international trade and ultimately rely on international logistics to complete. Every country attaches great importance to the linkage between the domestic logistics and international logistics, logistics management development early in their home countries strive to make their own logistics standards in line with international logistics standardization system, if not, will not only increase the technical difficulty of international communication, more important is on the basis of the already high tariffs and freight increased efficiency loss caused by standardization system is not unified, Increase the cost of foreign trade. Therefore, the international nature of logistics standardization is also an important feature different from general product standards.

4. Implement the principle of safety and insurance. Logistics security is also a very prominent problem in recent years, often a safety accident will lose a company, hundreds of thousands of tons of supertankers, freighters suffered top loss cases are not lack of. Of course, in addition to economic losses, personal injury is also a frequent occurrence in logistics, such as traffic accident injury, goods to people's collision, collision injury, dangerous goods explosion, corrosion, poisoning injury, etc.. Therefore, another characteristic of logistics standardization is the regulation of logistics safety and reliability in logistics standards and unified technical standards and working standards for safety and reliability.
