Analysis of the core framework of the standard

GB/T38652-2020, as the basic terminology standard in my country's e-commerce field, systematically regulates core concepts such as e-commerce platform, transaction model, and participating entities. The standard adopts a three-level classification system and contains 10 chapters and a total of 112 term definitions.

Analysis of key technical terms

2.1 Evolution of the definition of e-commerce

The standard clearly defines e-commerce as "business activities that sell goods or provide services through information networks such as the Internet". Compared with GB/T35408-2017:

  • Expanded the scope of application of service transactions
  • Explicitly included new information networks such as mobile terminals
  • Deleted the original "electronic payment" restriction

3.5 Innovative definition of O2O model

For the first time, O2O e-commerce was defined at the national standard level as a model of "driving offline operations and consumption through online marketing and online purchases". Typical application scenarios include:

  1. Online group purchase and offline verification in the catering industry
  2. Online ordering and store pickup for retail enterprises
  3. Online appointment and offline experience in the service industry

Standard implementation suggestions

Enterprise compliance application path

It is recommended that e-commerce platforms refer to the following steps to implement the standard:

Case: Terminology transformation project of a leading platform
1. Revise the definition of user agreement terms in accordance with the standard
2. Establish a term mapping table to achieve multi-language unification
3. Train customer service personnel on the use of standard terminology
After implementation, the customer complaint rate decreased by 23%

Key points for supervision and application

Law enforcement agencies should focus on:

  • The definition of platform operators and operators within the platform (Article 2.3 of the standard)
  • The standard for determining prohibited goods (Article 5.13)
  • False Transaction Identification Rules (Article 8.18)
