Xinhua News Agency reported on May 21 that according to information from the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the first international standard for predictive maintenance, led by Chinese experts, has been officially released. “This marks a significant step in enhancing China’s international influence in the field of intelligent manufacturing technology standards,” Xinhua wrote.
The released standard, titled “Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Automation Equipment and Systems – Part 1: General Requirements”, was developed under the coordination and support of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology by a team organized by the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Industrial Process Measurement, Control, and Automation. It is currently the world’s only international standard that specifies the implementation process and technical requirements for predictive maintenance.
The standard models the common technical elements of predictive maintenance, defining the full process requirements for data collection, feature extraction, model building, and decision optimization. It also introduces indicators such as fault prediction confidence thresholds and maintenance response times, providing strong support and assurance for the safe and efficient operation of equipment. At present, hardware and software products developed based on this series of standards have been widely applied in intelligent manufacturing-related fields such as aerospace, shipbuilding, automotive, instrumentation, petrochemicals, and metallurgy.
Going forward, the team of Chinese experts will continue to promote the development of a series of international standards, aiming to build a predictive maintenance standard system composed of “General Requirements – Algorithm Evaluation – Performance Assessment,” providing key technical support for the in-depth advancement of intelligent manufacturing in China.
