On November 6, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) made a historic announcement by officially unveiling the world's inaugural international standard for industrial 5G—dubbed the "General Requirements for 5G Communication Technology in Industrial Networks." This groundbreaking standard was initially proposed through a collaborative effort between China and Germany and subsequently refined by a panel of experts hailing from a diverse array of nations, including the United States, France, and Japan.

Its introduction effectively bridges a significant void in the realm of international standards pertaining to industrial 5G. The unveiling of this standard not only signifies a landmark international accomplishment for China in the realm of integrated '5G + Industrial' applications but also serves as a beacon of Chinese ingenuity and solutions, guiding the global manufacturing industry towards a digital transformation.
