SAMR/SAC published, in the No. 8 and No. 14 Notice of 2020, 19 recommended national standards in the field of communications. Specifically:

  • Three information security standards, focusing on broadband security technology and testing methods, which will come into effect from 1 November 2020;
  • Sixteen technology standards covering optical communication, IPTV and communication power supply, which will come into effect from 1 January 2021.

China’s communication standards are mostly comprised of sectoral standards. In fact, the number of national communication standards, which before these new announcements had only accounted to 36 standards published by SAC, remains seriously inadequate if compared with over 2,700 sectoral standards. Therefore, the publication of 19 new national standards – together with other 200 standards currently under development – can be seen as an attempt and effort by SAC to address the issue by significantly expanding the scale of national communication standards.

Different from SAC, MIIT has been supplying the majority of sectoral standards for the communication industry. On 12 June 2020, MIIT announced the Plan for the Development and Revision of the First Batch of Sectoral Standards in 2020, which lists 94 sectoral standard-development and revision projects for the communication industry. Most of these standards are new, including fourteen 5G and next-generation mobile communication standards, five artificial intelligence standards, 22 industrial internet standards, eight IPv6 and next-generation internet standards, nine communication technology integration standards, 21 internet data security standards, and ten future network standards. These standardisation projects show how sectoral standards still play a dominant role in the communication field.
