On June 3, 2026, the National Standardization Administration of China issued two official notices to announce the approval of 11 mirror entities of ISO technical committees (TCs) in China, and the approval of 4 entities to become the holder of secretariats for ISO TCs.

The full list of approved holding entities of ISO TCs are listed as below:

1	ISO/TC17/SC22	Steel/Stainless and heat-resistant steels	China Metallurgical Information and Standardization Institute
2	ISO/TC48/SC10	Laboratory equipment/Microfluidic devices	Yanqi Lake Institute of Basic Manufacturing Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd.
3	ISO/TC93/SC2	Starch, including derivatives and by-products/Modified starches	China General Chamber of Commerce
4	ISO/TC249	Traditional medicine	Institute of Clinical Basic Medicine, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences
5	ISO/TC249/SC1	Traditional medicine/Traditional Chinese medicine	Institute of Clinical Basic Medicine, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences
6	ISO/TC282/SC1	Water reuse/Treated wastewater reuse for irrigation	China National Institute of Standardization
7	ISO/TC282/SC2	Water reuse/Water reuse in urban areas	China National Institute of Standardization

11	ISO/IEC JTC5	Digital Product Passport	GS1 China

And the 4 entities that will become the holder of ISO TC secretariat include:

No.	TC No.	Name	Holding Entity of Secretariat
1	ISO/TC93/SC2	Starch, including derivatives and by-products/Modified starches	China General Chamber of Commerce
2	ISO/TC249	Traditional medicine	Shanghai Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine
3	ISO/TC249/SC1	Traditional medicine/Traditional Chinese medicine	Shanghai Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine International Standardization
4	ISO/TC309/SC1	Governance of organizations/Compliance management for organizations	China National Institute of Standardization

These newly assigned units cover strategic fields such as advanced materials, life sciences and traditional medicine, digital governance, and compliance management, marking another step forward in China’s deeper engagement with global standard-setting.

China’s growing influence in international standardization is evident. Over the 14th Five‑Year Plan period, the country initiated and published 1,183 ISO/IEC standards, an 88.1% increase from the previous five‑year span. With over 80 secretariats now held in ISO alone, up from nearly zero two decades ago, China ranks third globally in ISO technical secretariat count, behind only Germany and the United States. This steady expansion reflects the determination of China to improve its influence and input to the international standardization. In such case, besides the necessary communication within the country, such active participation provides foreign stakeholders that are interested in cooperation with Chinese counterparts with a new interaction platform at the global level.
