Original by Suantiankula Reviewer: Article 35 of the **Standard Management Measures** (Order No. 59 issued by the Market Supervision Bureau in 2022) stipulates that a reasonable transition period should be allowed between the issuance and implementation of standards. **Before the implementation of the new standard after its release, companies can choose to apply either the old standard or the new one. After the new **standard is implemented, the original **standard shall be repealed simultaneously. Article 21 of the \"Measures for the Administration of Industry Standards\" (Order No. 86 of the State Administration for Market Regulation, 2023): A reasonable transition period should be provided between the issuance and implementation of industry standards. Before the new industry standard takes effect after its release, it is possible to choose to apply either the old industry standard or the new one. Once the new industry standard is implemented, the previous industry standard shall be repealed simultaneously. Therefore, whether it is national standards or industry standards, once new standards are issued, enterprises can confidently choose to adopt them.
