Brain-computer interface technology has become the key engine to boost scientific and technological development, attracting global attention. In 2022, the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 43, Brain-computer interfaces, was set up, the chair and secretariat of which are undertaken by China.
To integrate international and domestic standardization work in this field, SAC announced the establishment of SAC/TC 28/SC 43 on brain-computer interfaces on December 18, 2023, as the counterpart of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 43. The working scope of SAC/TC 28/SC 43 includes the revision and development of standards for fundamental and key technology, system, equipment, product testing and evaluation, ethics, and other aspects of brain-computer interfaces, the secretariat of which is held by China Electronics Standardization Institute (CESI).
The subcommittee has 50 members. The chair of the subcommittee is Wu Chaohui, Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences. The vice chairs are Fan Kefeng, Director of Information Technology Research Center, CESI, and Prof. Ming Dong, Vice President of Tianjin University. The secretary-general and deputy secretary-general of its secretariat are respectively assumed by Yu Yuntao, Senior Engineer from CESI, and Pan Gang, Deputy Executive Director of National Key Laboratory of Brain-computer Intelligence in Zhejiang University.
In the future, the subcommittee is expected to promote the research, proposal and drafting of national standards on brain-computer interfaces, establish and improve the standards system, and lead the high-quality development of the industry via standards.
