The national standard for mechanical safety GB/T 16855.1-2025, co authored by Bytorent, has been officially released, laying a solid safety defense line!

Recently, the 'Mechanical Safety Control System Part 1: General Principles for Design' (GB/T 16855.1-2025) released by the State Administration for Market Regulation has been officially implemented. As a participating unit of this standard, Bytorent has participated in the formulation of industry rules with professional strength and worked together with the entire industry to build a 'protective net' for mechanical safety.

Why is the national standard related to the safety of millions of machinery?

In industrial production scenarios, control systems are like the 'nerve center' of machinery, while safety related components are the last line of defense for protecting life and equipment.

Data shows that over 60% of past mechanical safety accidents are related to control system design defects, with issues such as improper component selection and safety logic vulnerabilities becoming hidden pains in the industry.

The introduction of GB/T 16855.1-2025 is aimed at addressing this pain point.

As the 'cornerstone standard' in the field of mechanical safety control systems, this standard establishes a complete regulatory system covering the entire lifecycle of design, integration, and testing. Its scope of application spans multiple technical types such as electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic, clarifying the design principles for safety control systems in high demand and continuous operation modes. From pre requirements for risk assessment to software testing coverage standards, each clause directly points to the safety core.

Compared to the old version of the 2018 standard, the new version further strengthens the detailed rules for software security design, puts forward stricter requirements for hardware verification indicators, promotes the upgrade of security design from the 'qualified line' to the 'high standard', provides a unified 'security ruler', allows enterprises to have rules to follow, and provides regulatory authorities with enforcement basis.

Participating in the National Standard: Bytorent's Strength and Responsibility

Strength threshold - from technical practitioners to rule makers

The selection of national standard participating units has always been strict, requiring participating enterprises to have profound technical accumulation, rich practical cases, and industry influence.

Bytorent has been deeply involved in the field of mechanical safety control systems for many years, always adhering to the core development concept of 'safety innovation'. Its multiple core technologies have been successfully applied in key areas such as high-end equipment manufacturing and the automotive industry.

It is this practical accumulation of technology that gives Bytorent the confidence and ability to participate in standard setting, transforming frontline practical experience into technical specifications that are commonly followed by the industry.

Industry Value - Promoting Industrial Upgrading with Professional Discourse Power

Participating in the formulation of national standards is not only an important opportunity for enterprises to enhance their core competitiveness, but also a heavy industry responsibility.

During the standard development process, Bytorent's expert team collaborated closely with colleagues from research institutions and leading enterprises to provide suggestions and recommendations on key issues such as risk assessment methods for security control systems, software reliability design, and lifecycle management.

We will integrate our innovative achievements and practical experience in intelligent security monitoring, fault warning, and other fields into the standard clauses, promoting the standard content to be more in line with the actual needs of the industry and more operable.

The original intention of responsibility - to implement standards and ensure safety takes root

For Bytorent, participating in the national standard is only the starting point, not the end point. Next, Bytorent will take the lead in implementing the requirements of GB/T 16855.1-2025, strictly benchmarking in the entire process of product research and development, production and manufacturing, and service delivery, and launching safety control solutions that are more in line with the new standards.

At the same time, we will also interpret the connotation of standards to our partners and industry colleagues through technology sharing, industry training, and other forms, helping more enterprises quickly adapt to standard requirements and achieve a win-win situation of safety and efficiency.

From following standards to participating in the development of standards, to promoting the implementation of standards, every step of Bytorent always revolves around the original intention of 'safeguarding industrial safety'. The formal implementation of GB/T 16855.1-2025 marks a new stage of development in the field of mechanical safety control in China.

Bytorent will take this participation as an opportunity to continue to deepen technological innovation, work together with the entire industry to build a safer and more reliable industrial production environment with higher quality products and services, and safeguard the high-quality development of Chinese manufacturing!
