Abstract：As a clean energy, liquefied natural gas (LNG) has become an important part of Chinas energy structure.By 2018, 18 large-scale LNG receiving terminals have been built in China.With the rapid development of Chinas LNG industry, in order to achieve the goal of international integration and safety and high efficiency, it is necessary to establish and improve a technical standard system covering design, construction, materials and equipment, safety and operation management.The construction principle and frame structure of LNG standard system are determined, and the domestic and foreign standards covered by LNG standard system are systematically collected.Finally, suggestions are put forward for the future work of LNG standard system in China, including the formulation of LNG comprehensive and authoritative engineering construction standards, LNG product quality standards and LNG station risk assessment standards,carrying out the research on technique status tracking and adoption of standard for FLNG、FSRU and other water receiving terminals, improving the applicability and compliance of the standard.The establishment of a systematic and perfect LNG technical standard system can provide strong technical support for the healthy development of China LNG industry.
