Important Industry Regulation Released | GB/T 18656-2025 Terminal Identification Standard Takes Effect on May 1, 2026

Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation officially issued the new national standard GB/T 18656-2025 Identification of Terminals in Industrial Systems. Adopting the core technical requirements of international standard IEC 61666:2021 equivalently, this regulation will be fully enforced nationwide starting from May 1, 2026.
 
The new standard unifies the key specifications of terminal code compilation, marking printing, drawing labeling and nameplate regulations across the whole industry, covering mainstream fields such as industrial electrical control, mechanical equipment, building power distribution, process automation, new energy and energy storage. It further refines terminal coding logic and visual marking rules, which can effectively reduce on-site wiring errors, improve equipment operation and maintenance efficiency, enhance electrical safety protection, and help complete machine enterprises pass domestic and foreign third-party inspections and project acceptance smoothly.
 
As a professional manufacturer focusing on the R&D, production and customized solutions of terminal blocks, Zhejiang SIPUN Electric Co.,Ltd has completed internal standard upgrading at the first time. All our existing products, including rail-mounted terminals, pluggable terminals, spring-cage terminals and cabinet wiring terminals, have optimized product silk printing, outer package marking, technical drawings and Chinese & English manuals. We have also added compliance sampling inspection in production and quality control procedures to ensure all delivered products fully meet GB/T 18656-2025 and corresponding IEC international standards.
