China has released a new batch of national standards covering brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and other emerging technologies, as part of efforts to support high-quality development in cutting-edge sectors, China's market regulator said on Friday.

According to the State Administration for Market Regulation, the newly approved standards span a range of fields. 

In emerging technology sectors, 18 standards were issued for industries including intelligent connected vehicles, semiconductor devices, brain-computer interfaces and BeiDou navigation chips. An additional eight standards were also introduced for lithium-ion batteries, portable power supplies and industrial power systems to enhance electrical safety.

The release also includes 19 standards covering electromagnetics, nanotechnology, communications and electroacoustic equipment, providing technical guidance to support the orderly development of related industries.

In the manufacturing sector, 14 standards were introduced for intelligent vessels and methanol-fueled marine engines, addressing areas such as ship design, propulsion systems and safety protection, in line with efforts to advance greener and smarter shipbuilding.

Meanwhile, 10 new standards for advanced materials, including silicon carbide single crystals and carbon fiber composites, were issued to define technical requirements and testing methods, supporting wider industrial application.

The regulator also announced a series of standards focusing on safety production, including fire safety testing methods for construction materials and equipment such as firefighter emergency alarms, aimed at improving fire prevention capabilities.

Additional standards in meteorological disaster prevention, including public guidance and warning classification for sandstorms, were introduced to enhance public awareness and response capacity.
