The 12th meeting of China- Russia Task Force on Civil Aircraft was held on October 19. The meeting was jointly hosted by Guo Chenguang, Deputy Director-General of Standards Innovative Management Department of SAMR, and Anton Shalaev, Head of the Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology in Russia (GOST R).

During the meeting, Wei Hong, Deputy Director-General of Standards Technical Management Department of SAMR, introduced the background and significance of the national standard jointly developed by China and Russia.

With two-year effort, Chinese and Russian experts developed GB/T 41886-2022, Requirements for cabin acoustic design of transport aircraft, which was simultaneously approved for publication by SAC and GOST R. The standard will be included in the catalogue of mutual recognized standards for civil aircraft between China and Russia.

It is the first time for the two countries to jointly develop and publish a national standard, which is a beneficial attempt to explore the cooperative development of national standards. Also, it exemplifies the “soft connectivity” of standards, and can be considered as a replicable experience for implementing the National Standardization Development Outline, which emphasizes the mutual recognition of Chinese and foreign standards.
