Scope
This standard applies to simulation testing platforms for humanoid robots, specifying technical requirements for their design, construction and use (per the standard title and English title). Humanoid robots are robots designed for general-purpose manipulation and human-like morphology; simulation testing platforms verify motion control, perception and manipulation capabilities in virtual environments. R&D institutions, robot and component makers, and third-party testing bodies building or using such platforms should follow this standard.

Compliance Advice
- Confirm applicability: organizations building or procuring humanoid-robot simulation testing platforms should verify scope coverage and obtain the official text (published September 28, 2026; effective April 1, 2027).
- Align early: during the about 6-month transition, compare existing platform parameters against the standard item by item.
- Watch the series: related humanoid-robot requirement standards (e.g. the GB/T 48317 series) are in progress; track the committee's announcements.
- Cite correctly: when declaring conformity, state compliance with GB/T 48316-2026 and retain test records.
