This study organizes and classifies acupuncture-related standards

and analyzes the current status and existing problems. At present

there are 63 international standards

40 national standards

6 industry standards

43 local standards

and 194 group standards related to acupuncture. The current situation is characterized by an irrational standard structure and incomplete coverage of relevant fields; insufficient coordination mechanisms

with overlapping and redundant standards; slow updating of standards

lacking timeliness. It is suggested that the development of acupuncture-related standards should be promoted through the following measures: improving the structure of the standard system and establishing a sound collaborative management mechanism; implementing full-cycle management of standards in line with technological advancements; and building an acupuncture standards information platform to provide one-stop services.
