GB/T 45097.1-2024Safety of intelligent consumer product - Part 1: Hazard identification (English PDF)

Foreword

This document was issued on 28 November 2024 by the State Administration for Market Regulation; Standardization Administration of the PRC and takes effect on 28 November 2024.

It is a GB/T standard: recommended rather than compulsory, but it is the text a Chinese reviewer applies when assessing a submission.

1 Scope

GB/T 45097.1-2024 is Part 1 of the Chinese series on the safety of intelligent consumer products, and covers hazard identification. Product safety has always begun by listing the ways a product can hurt someone, but a connected product with a camera, a microphone and a learned behaviour extends that list into places the old checklists do not reach: harms that arise from information rather than energy, and from decisions the product makes rather than from a component failing. The standard sets the general principles and the classification of hazards, then the general process for identifying them - information preparation, feature analysis and hazard determination - with informative annexes on methods for identifying information and ethical hazards, examples of such hazards, and worked examples of hazard identification for intelligent consumer products. It took effect on 28 November 2024.

This document provides the principles for hazard identification of the safety of

intelligent consumer products, and the classification of hazards, and establishes the

general process for hazard identification of the safety of intelligent consumer products,

including information preparation, feature analysis, and hazard determination.

This document is applicable to the hazard identification activities of intelligent

consumer products.

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

3.1

intelligence

The ability to possess human or human-like intelligence characteristics.

Note. Human or human-like intelligence characteristics are manifested in the fact

that in the process of achieving a certain purpose, they will always experience

one or more processes or process cycles of perception, decision-making, and

execution, and improve their ability to achieve goals as well as their

efficiency and effectiveness to achieve goals. It is believed in this document

that, in embodying the human or human-like intelligence characteristics, the

abilities and processes of perception, decision-making, execution and

learning therein are indispensable.

3.5

information hazard

Factors that may expose information to unauthorized, accidental or intentional access,

disclosure, transmission, modification or destruction.

3.6

ethical hazard

Factors that violate the specific behavioral norms that need to be followed when dealing

with the relationships between people, people and society, and people and nature.

4 General principles

4.1 Comprehensiveness

It covers the entire life cycle of intelligent consumer products, including design,

production, packaging, storage, transportation, use and recycling, and conducts

comprehensive identification from multiple dimensions such as physical hazard,

chemical hazard, information hazard, and ethical hazard.

4.2 Scientificity

According to the essential characteristics of the hazard, select scientific and effective

identification methods to ensure the reliability and accuracy of hazard identification.

4.3 Systematicness

The identification process comprehensively considers laws and regulations, standards

and specifications, economic development, technological changes, and concept

improvement, maintains objectivity and transparency, and avoids subjective bias.

4.4 Dynamicity

According to technological advances and market changes, update hazard identification

methods in a timely manner to respond to emerging hazards.

5 Hazard classification

According to the characteristic attributes of hazards of intelligent consumer products,

the hazards of intelligent consumer products are divided into physical hazards, chemical

hazards, information hazards and ethical hazards.

6 General process

The general process for identification of intelligent consumer products includes

information preparation, feature analysis, and hazard determination, as shown in Figure

1.Among them, the process for identification of physical hazards and chemical hazards

can also be established in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 39011-2020.

7.2 Information investigation

If it is considered necessary to verify the authenticity and completeness of the collected

information, on-site investigations or other measures shall be arranged to further collect,

verify and organize the information to maximize the effectiveness of the information

required for hazard identification.
