On September 11, 2026, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced an approval-stage public review of 89 communications industry standards. The package is headed by the draft Computing Network Cybersecurity Guide for Internet of Vehicles Applications.

MIIT states that the relevant standardization technical organizations have completed the drafts and is seeking comments before approval. The approval drafts are available in the Project Publicity section of the official MIIT Standards Information Service Platform.

The public review period runs from September 12 through October 11, 2026. The notice does not issue the standards as final instruments, establish implementation dates or independently create binding certification, type-approval, labeling or import requirements.

Potentially affected organizations should identify the drafts applicable to their products and services, review their cybersecurity and technical provisions and submit comments before the deadline.

Impact

Impact assessment: Medium.

Key reasons: a large package of 89 communications standards has reached the approval-draft review stage, and the named lead project addresses cybersecurity for computing networks used in Internet of Vehicles applications.

Who is affected?

Communications operators, connected-vehicle ecosystem providers, network and equipment manufacturers, laboratories and compliance teams covered by the individual drafts.

Conclusion:

stakeholders should obtain the relevant drafts from the official platform, compare current controls and test practices with the proposed provisions and submit comments by October 11, 2026. The notice itself does not yet impose binding requirements or an implementation date.
