From January 26 to February 21, 2025, the National Cybersecurity Standardization Technical Committee (TC260) is soliciting public comments on the draft AI Security Standards System (V1.0) (hereinafter referred to as the “Standards System”).

The Standards System was developed in response to the Global AI Governance Initiative and aims to support the implementation of the AI Security Governance Framework, which was released by TC260 and endorsed by CAC in September 2024.

The Standards System systematically identified key standards that help mitigate AI security risks, addressing three types of intrinsic security risks—model and algorithm security, data security, and system security—outlined in the AI Security Governance Framework,, as well as four types of application security risks—network security, physical security, cognitive security, and ethical security. (The mapping relationship between the two documents is provided in Annex I of the Standards System.)

Additionally, it proposes a structured approach for the future development of AI security standards in China, as illustrated in the diagram below.

Currently, TC260 is developing three types of standardized deliverables for AI:

  • National standards (including mandatory and recommended national standards)
  • Technical documents (which may later be transformed to national standards)
  • Implementation guidelines (aiming to guide the implementation of AI technology)

As of now, TC260 has already published 12 recommended national standards, 1 technical document, and 3 implementation guidelines in the AI security field. Additionally, TC260 is actively developing 1 mandatory national standard, 6 recommended national standards, and 1 implementation guideline.

The document provides detailed information on these standards, including their titles, key issues they aim to address, main content, their alignment with the structured approach, and their latest development progress.

 As this document provides a comprehensive overview of China’s AI security standardization efforts, EU stakeholders are encouraged to review the original document to gain a full understanding of the latest developments in this field.
