China recently issued a batch of important national standards, ranging from emerging industries to ecological and environmental protection fields.

In the emerging technology sector, the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) has released 18 national standards, covering key areas including intelligent connected vehicles, semiconductor devices, brain-computer interfaces (BCI), and BeiDou navigation chips. The standards are primed to propel the high-quality development of cutting-edge technologies.

According to documents from the National Standardization Administration, the national standard "GB/T 47346-2026" for information technology — BCI visual evoked potential data coding and decoding will become effective on October 1 this year.

To reinforce power consumption safety, eight national standards have been issued for products including lithium-ion batteries, portable power supplies, and industrial power supply systems. Furthermore, 19 national standards related to electromagnetism, nanotechnology, communications and electroacoustic equipment and materials were launched to facilitate the safe and orderly development of relevant industries.

In the manufacturing sector, SAMR released 14 national standards, including those for intelligent ships and marine methanol-fueled engines, which cover ship design and construction, power systems, and safety protection. These standards aim to promote the safe, intelligent, and green development of China's shipbuilding industry.

Meanwhile, in response to the application and industrial development of new materials, 10 national standards for new materials, including silicon carbide single crystals and carbon fiber-reinforced composites, now have clearly defined technical requirements and testing methods.

In the field of ecological and environmental protection, two mandatory national standards on energy efficiency for products such as electric washing machines, washer-dryers, and air blowers have been issued, which play a vital role in promoting energy and water conservation and advancing green and sustainable development.

In addition, three national standards on greenhouse gas emissions accounting and reporting have been introduced, providing technical support for greenhouse gas emissions management.
