China made significant progress in international standardization efforts in 2025, with notable growth in both the number of proposals and published standards, according to the State Administration for Market Regulation.

The latest official data released by the State Administration for Market Regulation on Wednesday indicated that the country submitted 505 international standard proposals in such fields as low-carbon energy, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and industrial networks, a 15.83 percent increase over 2024.

China also led the development and publication of 285 international standards in fields including new energy, smart electric power grids, traditional medicine, and brain-computer interfaces, marking a 26.67 percent year-on-year rise.

In 2025, 441 sets of Chinese national standards were translated into foreign languages, and four special initiatives focused on Beidou navigation, intelligent manufacturing, cybersecurity, and joint construction of the Belt and Road were launched.

In a next step, the State Administration for Market Regulation said it will continue working to promote the development of international standards in emerging and future industries such as new materials, aerospace, the low-altitude economy, and embodied intelligence under guidelines stipulated in China's 15th Five-Year Plan for national socioeconomic development in the 2026-2030 period.
