Two departments: By 2027, more than 30 new national and industry standards for cloud computing will be established

Beijing, October 9 (Xinhua) -- The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Standardization Administration of China issued the "Guidelines for the Construction of Cloud Computing Comprehensive Standardization System (2025 Edition)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines") on October 9, proposing to formulate more than 30 new national and industry standards for cloud computing by 2027, and continuously improve the cloud computing industry standard system.

The cloud computing industry mainly involves six parts: hardware, software, services, applications, networks, and security.

The "Guidelines" point out that after years of rapid development, China's cloud computing industry has formed a huge market size, with emerging technologies continuing to evolve and industry application integration developing. New technologies, new business models, and models such as cloud native, intelligent computing cloud, industry cloud, as well as data-as-a-service and security as a service continue to emerge, and there is an urgent need to improve the cloud computing standard system.

According to the Guidelines, by 2027, more than 30 new national and industry standards for cloud computing will be formulated, and the cloud computing industry standard system will be continuously improved; More than 1000 enterprises have carried out standard promotion and implementation, highlighting the effectiveness of empowering enterprises with digital transformation and upgrading through standards; Accelerate the supply of international standards in the field of cloud computing and promote the globalization of industries.

The 2025 version of the "Standard System" focuses on three core directions: continuously strengthening the supply capacity of intelligent computing cloud, vigorously promoting the coordinated development of independent innovation, and comprehensively empowering the high-quality development of the real economy.

The Guidelines also mention accelerating the transformation of international standards for cloud computing and improving the consistency of key indicators between international and domestic standards. Actively participate in cloud computing international standardization activities organized by organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and work together with upstream and downstream enterprises in the global industry chain to jointly develop cloud computing international standards.
