From perception and planning to motion, task operation, and simulation testing—six national standards are approved and take effect on April 1, 2027. China Daily (2026-10-16) cites the State Administration for Market Regulation; matching GB/T entries are on the national standards platform (published 2026-09-28). A common measuring stick is not an instant mandatory certification bar.

【Facts】China Daily's finance channel reported on 2026-10-16 that the State Administration for Market Regulation confirmed the first six national standards for humanoid robots have been formally approved and will take effect on April 1, 2027 — five technical-requirements parts plus one simulation test-platform specification. The national standards public service platform lists entries such as GB/T 48317.1-2026, published 2026-09-28 and effective 2027-04-01. A Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology reprint also confirms that Part 4 (motion control) was drafted under Beijing Humanoid leadership. 【Why it matters】The standards emphasize capabilities that are "definable, measurable, and comparable." That is not an immediate mandatory certification bar, but it does directly affect R&D, evaluation, and procurement language. 【Watch】Pace of testing-body rollout, uptake of self-check vs. third-party evaluation, and alignment with export-market standards.
