The National Medical Products Administration said on Monday that it has recently released China's first standard for brain-computer interface medical devices, paving the way for high-quality growth of the industry.

The standard establishes a systematic terminology framework for medical equipment based on the BCI technology. It defines core terms and concepts related to fundamental principles, paradigm types, signal forms, signal processing and applications of the technology.

"The release and implementation of this standard will help address fundamental challenges hindering industry development, such as inconsistent terminology and nonstandardized concepts," it said.

"The standard provides an authoritative and unified language system as well as key technical references for the research, development, production and scientific regulation of BCI medical devices and will play a significant role in regulating industry practices and promoting healthy growth," it added.

The administration said that it will continue to fully support major innovations in the sector, accelerate formulating related standards and establish a comprehensive standard system covering the entire product life cycle to help the nation gain a competitive edge in global BCI technology and international standardization efforts.
