On February 21, 2023, the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) issued the Guidelines on the Establishment of National Standards in 2023 (herein after referred to as “the Guideline”).

It stated general requirements, focus, and declaration requirements for establishing national standards in 2023. The Guideline also establishes the focus from 3 aspects, including mandatory national standards and recommended national standards.

Mandatory national standards will focus on following aspects to promote the establishment of projects: resource and environmental security standards, and public security standards. Among them, resource and environmental security standards include energy efficiency for key energy-using products, electromagnetic compatibility, and other standards. Public security standards include industrial dust anti-explosion, energy storage power plant safety, fire safety, and other standards.

Recommended national standards focus on promoting development in 14 areas and directions, such as peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality standards, high-end equipment manufacturing, and emerging technologies. Among them, emerging technologies include big data, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, intelligent manufacturing, block chain, information security, and other key technology standards.
