The Standardization Administration of China (SAC) is the national standards body of China, responsible for the development, approval, and management of national standards across various sectors. Established in 2001, SAC operates under the auspices of the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR). It plays a crucial role in promoting standardization in China, ensuring that products, services, and systems meet the necessary quality and safety requirements. SAC oversees the formulation and revision of national standards, as well as China's participation in international standardization activities.

SAC collaborates closely with international organizations to align Chinese standards with global best practices. It is an active member of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Through its involvement with the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and other international bodies, SAC works to facilitate mutual recognition of standards and conformity assessment results. This international cooperation helps enhance the global acceptance of Chinese products and services, thereby supporting China's economic integration into the global market.

To maintain its leadership in standardization, SAC continuously updates its standards and procedures to reflect technological advancements and market needs. It provides essential services such as standards development, certification, and conformity assessment, which are vital for regulatory compliance, trade facilitation, and innovation. SAC's extensive network of technical committees and experts ensures comprehensive coverage of various industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, and information technology. By fostering the adoption of internationally recognized standards, SAC contributes to the improvement of product quality and safety, environmental protection, and consumer confidence.
