Introduction
Analysis of the core points of the standard
| Dimensions | GB/T40979-2021 | GB/T35273-2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Applicable scenarios | Focus on smart home appliances, apps and cloud platform systems | General personal information processing activities |
| Biometric requirements | Explicitly requires that raw biometric information should not be stored | Not detailed for home appliance scenarios |
| Minimum collection principle | Appendix B stipulates the minimum information fields for each business function | Only for principled requirements |
Key technical requirements
Typical application case: A smart refrigerator with voice interaction needs to meet the following requirements:
- Voice data is processed locally, and only the instruction text is uploaded
- Image recognition needs to limit the shooting angle (only the food area)
- Sensitive operations require secondary authorization (such as family album sharing)
Standard Evolution Analysis
Compared with the 2018 version of the general requirements for smart home appliances, this standard:
- Adds special management clauses for biometric devices
- Refines restrictions on cross-border data transmission
- Establish a personal information security classification system (Table 3)
Implementation Recommendations
Enterprise Compliance Path:
| 1. Technical Level | Deploy de-identification tools to achieve isolated storage of sensitive information |
| 2. Management Level | Establish a Personal Information Security Impact Assessment (PIA) mechanism |
| 3. Product Design | Follow the minimum information requirements in Appendix B for function development |
