The IT Home page is stamped 2026/10/20 15:19:02. The judgment first: the installation line for the small blue lamp is still out for comment. It is not a standard already in force. The page says this follows the Standardization Law and the measures for mandatory national standards. The equipment department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, through the national auto standards committee, has drafted revisions to five mandatory national standards, including vehicle data-security requirements, and is asking for public comment. The data-security standard appears in the name of that set of five. Which data-security clauses changed is not spelled out on this page.

The installation detail is in the requirements for external lighting and light-signaling devices on vehicles and trailers. Only a vehicle with an L3 or higher automated-driving system may install this small blue lamp. A vehicle without an L3 or higher automated-driving system is prohibited from installing an ADS marker lamp. The color section adds a blue-green required for the ADS marker lamp. The same draft has other lamp sentences: a turn signal should not be combined with the brake lamp and the rear fog lamp, and a reversing lamp should not be combined with them either. The page also reminds readers that assisted driving is not automated driving, and that the driver still cannot relax.
[1]The page lists the national grades to say what L3 means. L0 is emergency assistance, L1 is partial driving assistance, L2 is combined driving assistance, L3 is conditional automated driving, L4 is high automated driving, and only L5 is full automated driving. The prohibition sits below L3. When the comment period ends, and what the other clauses in the five standards change, is not fully written here. A related headline says the small blue lamp’s color has formally entered the national standard. That is the title of another piece. The status in the body of this page is a draft for comment.
