TREE NEWS update: China has approved and issued more than 600 national standards for clean energy covering hydropower, solar, solar thermal and hydrogen, along with over 1,300 group standards and 345 foreign-language versions of national standards. The figures were released at a World Standards Day event jointly hosted by the State Administration for Market Regulation and three other departments. China is the world’s largest energy producer and consumer.
China Has Approved Over 600 National Standards for Clean Energy Including Hydro and Solar
China is doing what the US and EU have largely left to voluntary industry bodies: standardising clean energy at state scale. The foreign-language versions matter most — they are the export vehicle. Whoever's standard gets adopted abroad shapes procurement, certification and interoperability for a decade. The open question is whether these standards are written to be adopted internationally or to lock in domestic supply chains.
