Annual Meeting of the Chinese Expert Committee of IEC System Committee on Smart Manufacturing

The 2026 annual meeting of the China Expert Committee for the IEC Systems Committee on Smart Manufacturing—jointly guided by the State Administration for Market Regulation and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and organized by the Machinery Industry Instrumentation Comprehensive Technical and Economic Research Institute (which serves as the secretariat)—will bring together representatives from government authorities, academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, high-level international standardization experts, as well as representatives from research institutions and key enterprises. The meeting will focus on cutting-edge trends in international standardization for smart manufacturing.

The agenda includes a review of the annual work report from the Expert Committee's secretariat, an assessment of achievements in key areas of international smart manufacturing standardization over the past year, and the planning of priority tasks for the current year—such as the development of critical international standards and the coordinated advancement of domestic and international standards. A keynote session will feature authoritative experts from China and abroad, who will share insights on technological progress and standardization practices within the realm of next-generation smart manufacturing.

Leveraging my country's industrial strengths, the meeting aims to deepen practical standardization exchanges between China and the international community, foster consensus among industry stakeholders, and facilitate the transformation of industrial innovations into international standards. Through these efforts, the event seeks to continuously enhance my country's influence in international smart manufacturing standardization and contribute to the development of an open, collaborative global ecosystem for smart manufacturing standards.
