On August 22, 2025, the third plenary meeting of the WG1 General Working Group of the National Technical Committee 609 on Data of Standardization Administration of China (SAC/TC609) was held in Beijing. The meeting was attended by the head and members of the WG1 General Working Group, TC609’s secretariat, and representatives from other standard working groups.
During the meeting, CESI, TC609’s secretariat, briefed the WG1 General Working Group on the progress of the first batch of national standards in the data field, the technical documents developed by the TC609, and the overall collection of demands for the second batch of national standards in this field for 2025.
The first batch of proposed national standards in the data field covers areas such as basic data terminology, data products, public data services, comprehensive digital transformation, high-quality datasets, data services, anonymization of data circulation, data infrastructure, and the national integrated computing network. The technical documents developed by TC609 involve areas including data infrastructure, trusted data spaces, the national integrated computing network, and high-quality datasets.
Moreover, the representatives from WG2 (Data Governance), WG3 (Data Circulation and Utilization), WG4 (Comprehensive Digital Transformation), WG5 (Data Technology), and WG6 (Data Infrastructure) presented their specific requirements for the second batch of national standards in the data field for 2025. As to the second batch, the WG1 General Working Group conducted a critical review of the proposed standards, focusing on aspects such as standard naming, scope of standardization, intended regulatory content, problems to be addressed, positioning within the standards framework, and alignment with existing standards. This process helped clarify the direction and priorities for China 2025 data standardization work. Going forward, the secretariat will revise and finalize the demand list for the second batch of 2025 national data standards based on the feedback from the WG1 General Working Group, and will publish it promptly, facilitating the formal application process for these proposed standards.
SAC/TC609 was established by the National Data Administration (NDA), which also provides its operational guidance. Its scope of responsibility covers fundamental and general standards in areas such as data resources, data technology, data circulation, smart cities, and digital transformation, as well as standards for data infrastructure supporting data circulation and utilization, and security standards ensuring safe data exchange. The committee mirrors multiple international standardization bodies, including ISO/IEC JTC1/WG11, IEC/SyC Smart Cities, ISO/IEC JTC1/SC42/WG2, and ISO/IEC JTC1/SC32. Its secretariat is hosted by the China Electronics Standardization Institute (CESI).
