China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) opened public consultation on a draft interim measure for managing robot product identification codes. The ministry said the draft is intended to establish a common “identity card” for robot products, standardize manufacturing and support safety governance.

The notice sets the comment period from Nov. 6 through Dec. 5, 2026 and invites written submissions to the ministry’s Equipment Industry Department. The measure remains a consultation draft; the notice does not say that the proposed code has taken effect.
