The database contains the existing national, foreign and international standards in three areas associated with the prevention and control of 2019-nCoV, including medical protective supplies, infectious disease detection and testing and medical infrastructure. It also pools up-to-date information on the incident, such as latest news, policy interpretation, trends in market regulation, and knowledge on virus prevention, to ensure the public, professionals, medical researchers and personnel responsible for entry-exit inspection and quarantine have access to relevant standards at real time. They can then use standards in controlling the infection by the virus, quickly developing reagents for the disease diagnosis, and strengthening self-protection against the virus.

The database is available on the website (http://ncp.cssn.net.cn/cssn/ucenter/prevention_subject.jsp) free of charge. You can also log in National Standards Literature Infrastructure (http://www.nssi.org.cn/) or China Standards Service Network (http://www.cssn.net.cn/) for the link to the database.
