Progress made and prospect of China's maglev transportation technology standardization

Background: In order to standardize maglev transportation engineering and its operation, the research of maglev transportation technical standards becomes important. Based on the analysis of the growth of rail transit, the acceleration of maglev transportation engineering, the China’s standardization regulation and the maglev transportation technology standardization practice, Aim: This paper proposes the basic principles for establishing maglev transportation standard system and the framework of maglev transportation technical standard system, introducing China’s maglev transportation technology standardization mechanism, its achievements, prospects and experiences. Results: By the end of 2017, China had developed 12 maglev transportation technical industry and provincial standards. Conclusion: There are 12 maglev transportation technical industry standards and social organization standards under development.
