On November 21, 2025, Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), together with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), released China’s Cybersecurity Labeling Management Measures (Draft for Comment) and the Catalogue of Products Subject to Cybersecurity Labeling (First Batch) (Draft for Comment). The Measures establish a voluntary cybersecurity labeling system designed to enhance the security of internet-connected products and protect consumer rights and interests. Under this framework, products are graded (One-Star to Three-Star) based on their cybersecurity capabilities. Manufacturers participate by having their products tested, filing the results, and displaying the corresponding label. (More details can be found in our previous news coverage). The public comment phase for the draft Measures and the accompanying Catalogue (First Batch) was closed on December 6, 2025.

To promote accurate international understanding of China’s latest cybersecurity regulatory policies and facilitate dialogue between industry and regulators worldwide, SESEC prepares and releases an English translation of the drafted Measures and the Catalogue (First Batch) on January 21, 2026. The translation covers all chapters of the Measures, including General Provisions, Label Implementation, Supervision and Administration, and Supplementary Provisions, as well as the Catalogue (First Batch).

Please note that the English translation of the Measures and the Catalogue (First Batch) are consolidated into a single document, as attached below.
