We systematically analyzed the current standards for controlling alien invasive species and standard building systems, including those of international and regional organizations, in China. Based on international regulations such as the CBD and WTO-SPS, 44 international standards for phytosanitary measures have been approved. More than 400 regional standards have been published by local plant protection organizations, including the South American Plant Protection Commission, the European Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization, and the North American Plant Protection Organization. China has established 620 related standards for preventing and controlling invasive alien species, particularly during the ＂13th Five-Year Plan＂ period, and has achieved 269 of these standards. According to the different standards systems, there are 105 national, 118 industry, and 46 local standards. The existing standards help to ensure the safety of agricultural production, ecological safety, and sustainable development in China. However, there exist various gaps in the technical standards in risk classification, detection and identification, investigation and monitoring, prevention and control. Therefore, a comprehensive invasive alien species prevention and control standard system should be established. This standard system should cover the entire control process, including introduction, risk assessment, early monitoring and warning, extermination and control, and ecological restoration to minimise the harm caused by alien species.
