   MIIT Solicits Feedback on Draft Rules for Universal Robot 'Identity Codes'

   On November 6, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Equipment Industry Division opened a public consultation period until December 5 for the 'Interim Measures for the Management of Robot Product Identification Codes'. The draft aims to assign a unique identity code to every robot leaving the factory to support industry safety governance and full-lifecycle management. The proposed code consists of four parts: manufacturer code, product description code, product serial number code, and other codes, adhering to the upcoming national standard GB/T 48541-2026. This initiative expands upon a May 2026 pilot for humanoid robots which already covered over 28,000 units across more than 100 enterprises.

   China Proposes Unique 'ID' for Robots; Beijing Launches Implementation

   On November 6, 2026, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology opened a public consultation period until December 5, 2026, on draft rules establishing unique identification codes for domestically manufactured robot products. The proposal mandates that manufacturers register custom serial numbers via a service platform and affix durable, tamper-proof labels readable by humans and machines. Concurrently, Beijing initiated local deployment of this 'one machine, one code' system to track product distribution and enhance supply-side safety governance.

   China Launches Public Consultation on Unified Robot Identification Code System

   On November 6, 2026, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology opened a public consultation period until December 5, 2026, for the 'Interim Measures for the Administration of Robot Product Identification Codes'. The draft aims to establish a unified product identity for robots, standardize manufacturing processes, and support safety governance across diverse scenarios. Concurrently, a pilot 'sandbox approval' for embodied robot performances launched in Beijing's Economic-Technological Development Zone in August 2026 has already tested process supervision mechanisms.

   MIIT seeks opinions on draft measures for managing robot product identification codes

   The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has released a draft 'Interim Measures for the Administration of Robot Product Identification Codes' for public comment. The initiative aims to create a unified 'identity card' for robot products to standardize manufacturing processes and support safety governance within the robotics industry. The draft was published on November 5, 2026, via First Financial Information (Yicai), as reported by East Money.
