In response to social needs, State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) had steadily promoted the full-text disclosure and free download of over 30,000 national standards that do not adopt international standards since the beginning of this year. In the first half of 2025, downloads exceeded 10 million times, providing strong support for the construction of a unified national market.

Social groups accessing national standards for free increased significantly. In the first half of this year, the average monthly downloads of national standards surged tenfold from 190,000 times last year to 2.03 million times. Online reading reached nearly 15 million times, and page views hit 89 million times. The disclosure of national standards for free has effectively broken information barriers in standards, ensuring equal rights for business entities to read and download national standards.

The download volume of the vast majority of national standards also increased sharply. In the first half of this year, over 28,800 national standards were downloaded more than 100 times, accounting for 93% of all freely downloadable ones, which is 19 times the number of those with over 100 downloads throughout 2024. Among them, mandatory national standards with over 100 downloads accounted for nearly 100% of all downloadable ones, while voluntary standards with over 100 downloads made up 93% of all downloadable ones. The widespread promotion and application of most standards are conducive to achieving “one market, one standard, one baseline”.

The promotion and application of key standards increased greatly. In the first half of this year, 1,420 national standards were downloaded over 1,000 times, and 34 were downloaded over 10,000 times; 2,653 standards were read over 1,000 times, and 161 were read over 10,000 times. Standards for products, safety, and fundamentals dominated in terms of both download and reading. Business entities are willing to adopt key standards, which indicates that these standards play a positive role in their production and operation activities.

SAMR will strengthen coordination to gradually realize the disclosure of all government-issued standards that do not adopt international standards on its unified national platform, enabling the public to better understand standards and advancing the construction of a unified national market.
