4 General
4.1 Overview
4.1.1 How to succeed in testing smart community international standards in cities
Smart community international standards, which are combined with the current situation and
development goals of local smart community construction, can promote the establishment of local
characteristics of a smart community performance evaluation system (EVA), and guide and supervise
the local smart community construction results. The correctness, completeness and implementation
of the contents of international standards can be verified through specific projects in the construction
content and construction practice. At the same time, the standards can get pilot testing feedback

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
ISO/TR 37171:2020(E)
according to the actual usage in the project construction. Also, the content of the international standards
can be modified and improved to evaluate the achievements of smart community construction.
4.1.2 Recommendations for international standard pilot testing work
ISO/TC 268/SC 1 can promote the formulation of test targets and work programs, select proper pilot
cities, implement pilot implementation programs and accept pilot test results, which greatly promotes
the construction of smart cities and international standards.
4.2 Implementation
4.2.1 Global implementation
According to smart city standards and status analysis, different standards are selected to carry out
pilot test work. The targets of the whole world are:
— Promote the practicality of international standards. Pilot testing work can verify the feasibility
of smart community international standards, accelerate the implementation of standard results,
further optimize and improve international standards, make international standards more mature
and applicable.
— Improve the level of international standardization. Different countries and cities have different needs
for the development of smart cities. The global pilot cities are testing under the same framework,
which is conducive to improving the standardization of cities and the overall standardization of the
international community.
— Promote the sustainable development of cities. Pilot testing work is helpful to establish a smart
community performance evaluation system suitable for local characteristics, scientifically guide
and supervise the effectiveness of smart community construction, improve the level of smart city
and achieve sustainable development of cities and communities.
In addition, through the standards pilot and testing work, it can provide mature working ideas and
methods for other international standard testing work.
Different cities can learn from each other. They can construct and improve the smart community design,
city planning and maturity models in accordance with international standards. The pilot test results
are promoted to the international standardization system to enhance the visibility of the community
and attract the attention of the industry. Cities can also find shortcomings and further clarify the key
points of smart community construction.
Until now, Chengdu and Nanhai in China have taken the lead in the pilot test work. Hefei, Kawasaki and
Cambridge are going to start standard pilot testing work.
2
Hefei has a total area of 11 400 km and a total resident population of 7 790 000. The urban built-up
2
area of Hefei is 416 km and the built-up area resident population is about 4,09 million. This city has
selected ISO/TS 37151, ISO 37154 and ISO 37156 for pilot testing.
Kawasaki City was selected as a pilot city in Japan. Kawasaki is a sustainable growing city, it has
multiple functions such as a heavy industrial area, a business area and a commuter town for Tokyo.
Kawasaki selected ISO 37153 for pilot testing.
Cambridge was selected as a pilot city in the UK. Cambridge is the capital of Cambridgeshire in England.
Cambridge's pilot and testing of smart community international standards has provided an important
foundation for the future construction of a friendly city between Cambridge and Hefei.

ISO/TR 37171:2020(E)
4.2.2 Implementation in China
4.2.2.1 Chengdu
Chengdu is the provincial capital of Sichuan Province, China, and a sub-provincial city. It covers an
2
area of 14 300 km and has a resident population of nearly 16 million. Chengdu selected ISO/TS 37151,
ISO 37153, ISO 37155-1 and ISO 37156 for pilot testing. Through the pilot test, several documents were
formed. Since September 2017, the municipal government of Chengdu has investigated 20 departments.
The research department has little information about energy and waste and has not collected
corresponding data. In the three aspects of transportation, water and ICT, Chengdu seldom has the
corresponding mature index system standards and norms, but the construction of a performance
evaluation system has a certain basis. Chengdu already has the corresponding recognition and attention
to the construction of the index system, but the construction of the index system only stays at the stage
of a single and individual business, and there is no overall or global platform for the construction of the
index system.
Based on the theory of the life cycle, there are four problems in the management of smart community
infrastructure projects in Chengdu. First, there is no standard reference process or process documents
for smart community infrastructure projects; second, the logic of the project process is not clear;
third, the risk-prevention awareness of the project process is weak; fourth, the particularity of smart
community projects is not fully considered.
The municipal government of Chengdu has a large number of urban basic data resources, but the
management is decentralized and the system is not perfect; the data is incomplete, irregular, incorrect
and inconsistent and has other quality problems. Furthermore, there is no unified data exchange
management platform. Therefore, all departments in the city need to speed up the decentralized
management of data resources and insufficient data sharing.
4.2.2.2 Nanhai
Nanhai district, Foshan, is located in the central part of Guangdong province, the hinterland of the Pearl
river delta, adjacent to Guangzhou, adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao. The whole area covers an area of
2
107 382 km . Nanhai district, combined with the actual situation, selects ISO/TS 37151 and ISO 37156.
Through field investigations of smart cities in Nanhai district and face-to-face communication with
the municipal government of Nanhai, we found that the research department in Nanhai has little
information about energy and waste. It is very difficult to collect the corresponding data and there
are very few mature indicators system standards or specifications. The construction of a performance
evaluation index system in transportation, waste and ICT has a certain foundation, but there is no
overall platform.
Moreover, we found that most of the databases of the municipal government of Nanhai cannot be shared
or can only be shared in a very limited range. They are expensive and inefficient to use and poorly
shared. In addition, at present, information sharing among the municipal government of Nanhai is
mostly point-to-point mode and there is no unified data exchange management platform.
4.2.2.3 Hefei (high-tech zone)
2
Hefei has total area of 11 400 km and a total resident population of 7 790 000. The urban built-up
2
area of Hefei is 416 km and the built-up area resident population is about 4,09 million. Hefei selects
ISO/TS 37151, ISO 37154 and ISO 37156.
The municipal government of Hefei established the working group of pilot testing for international
standards. From the city administrators, environment sector and citizens surveyed, it is learned that
city administrators stress the size, operating efficiency and investment benefits of smart community
infrastructures, especially the operating efficiency. The environment sector of Hefei values the
effective utilization of smart community infrastructures and the improvement of energy use efficiency.
By contrast, the citizens highlight the regional coverage and the accessibility of smart community
infrastructures.

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
ISO/TR 37171:2020(E)
The municipal government of Hefei builds a data exchange and sharing platform for carrying out data
acquisition, data storage, data cleaning, data mining, data visualization and analysis. It also promotes
the big data technology exchange and transformation, the formation of several in the country with
independent intellectual property rights of large data products representative.

4.3 Methods
The pilot project of smart city international standards includes field visiting, research and analysis,
global pilot selection, pilot implementation, pilot summary.
— Research and analysis. From the perspective of smart city technology development, the needs of
smart city standard construction, the current situation of smart city infrastructure standards
construction and the city's current needs, ISO standards are selected as testing standards.
— Global pilot selection. The selection includes the following aspects:
a) Application stage: the city will document an application form in accordance with the
requirements.
b) Preliminary examination stage: the application materials are verified and experts organized to
select qualified declaration cities in batches.
c) Verification stage: the city will start to enter the implementation plan development stage
through the primary city. An ISO international expert group is formed using expert remote
guidance and pilot site inspection to communicate with the city one-on-one and give expert
opinion documents.
d) Selection and announcement stage: a comprehensive evaluation of pilot city’s conditions,
determination of pilot cities.
— Pilot implementation:
a) Interpretation of international test standards: organize relevant knowledge training.
b) Analysis of smart city infrastructure needs: comprehensively evaluate the development needs
and goals of various infrastructures, consider the support of urban resources and relevant
stakeholders and determine the development direction of smart community infrastructure.
c) Standards implementation: pilot work will be carried out in accordance with the implementation
plan, with a period of 2 years.
5 Achievement and results
Through pilot testing work around the world, ISO/TC 268/SC 1 has accelerated the promotion of
standard results, guided the construction of smart cities and achieved sustainable urban development.
Up to now, a pilot awarding ceremony has been successfully held in Chengdu, Nanhai district and Hefei,
and pilot testing work conducted. The progress of test work in pilot cities has been reported in meetings

In order to complete the application for the pilot cities, experts have been specially invited to form a
team. The expert team guides the implementation of international standards. Through the feasibility
study, academic discussions, expert communication and other activities, the scientific route and
direction were organized. According to the international standard, the pilot implementation plan has
been formed based on expert opinion.
In addition, under the guidance of international standards and industry experts, through scientific
and academic activities, cities will be helped to prepare the implementation plan, then the pilot work
targets, main tasks, implementation paths, expected benefits, safeguard measures and work schedules
will be figured out.
On 25 December 2017, the first batch of pilot work conferences were successfully held in Chengdu,
China. It was co-organized by the municipal government of Chengdu. The meeting successfully held the
pilot city awarding ceremony.
On 15 May 2018 the second working group meeting was successfully held in Zhuhai, China. More than
50 experts and city representatives from the UK, France, Russia, Germany, South Korea, Japan and China
attended the meeting. At the Zhuhai meeting, three cities were selected as a new batch of smart cities
standard pilot cities: Hefei (high-tech zone) in Anhui Province, China, Cambridge in the United Kingdom
and Kawasaki in Japan. At the meeting, the questionnaire, annual report and urban pilot template were
consulted by experts from various countries.
Above all, ISO/TC 268/SC 1 will continue to work hard in the smart city pilot cities, continue to consult
experts, call on more cities around the world to participate in the smart city pilot program and
ultimately complete the selection and testing of 10 pilot cities on a global scale, providing a practical
basis for standardization of smart city infrastructure.

Testing report of Chengdu
A.1 General description
A.1.1 General
With the rapid development of the smart community in the world, the smart community management
concept has become the popular model of urban development, driven by the global informatization
trends. It would become the strategic approach of urbanization in the world. International standards
organizations such as ISO, IEC and ITU-T, already have abundant research findings in relevant areas and
have published a series of standards about smart community construction, which play the important
role of guiding smart community development.
A.1.2 Overview of Chengdu City
Chengdu City is the sub-provincial city, which is the provincial capital of Sichuan Province. The
municipal government of Chengdu are highly appreciated in developing smart cities, seeing it as
the core context inside of GDP and social development plans. For promoting the construction of the
Chengdu smart community, the municipal government of Chengdu proposed various projects which
include improving the smart city construction, improving institutional mechanisms, innovating
market cooperation models, promoting smart industry development, improving smart community
infrastructure and promoting social development. Currently, Chengdu has the commanding lead in
transportation services, urban management, public security, information infrastructure, electrical and
water service, spatial geography and sharing information systems, which mean the basic conditions for
smart development are relatively mature.
A.1.3 ISO documents used for this pilot test
In this pilot test, Chengdu participated in ISO/TS 37151, ISO 37153, ISO/37155-1 and ISO 37156.
Through the practising in the progress that transforming standards from international standards to
national or local standards, it would help Chengdu’s smart infrastructure developing with the better
intelligent, better informational sharing, better environment and sustainability development.
A.1.4 Motivations and purpose
After years of developing, Chengdu has got a positive impact on smart community construction.
However, there is still a gap between the current Chengdu infrastructure and the smart community
requirements. In addition, Chengdu’s smart community infrastructure is managed by different
departments and different public organizations, such as the city planning department, building
department, management department, transportation department, water service department and
pollution checking department. For advancing the urbanization, the municipal government of Chengdu
has been active in promoting infrastructure building which is the foundation and the necessary
condition in urban economic and social development.

according to the actual usage in the project construction. Also, the content of the international standards
can be modified and improved to evaluate the achievements of smart community construction.
4.1.2 Recommendations for international standard pilot testing work
ISO/TC 268/SC 1 can promote the formulation of test targets and work programs, select proper pilot
cities, implement pilot implementation programs and accept pilot test results, which greatly promotes
the construction of smart cities and international standards.
4.2 Implementation
4.2.1 Global implementation
According to smart city standards and status analysis, different standards are selected to carry out
pilot test work. The targets of the whole world are:
— Promote the practicality of international standards. Pilot testing work can verify the feasibility
of smart community international standards, accelerate the implementation of standard results,
further optimize and improve international standards, make international standards more mature
and applicable.
— Improve the level of international standardization. Different countries and cities have different needs
for the development of smart cities. The global pilot cities are testing under the same framework,
which is conducive to improving the standardization of cities and the overall standardization of the
international community.
— Promote the sustainable development of cities. Pilot testing work is helpful to establish a smart
community performance evaluation system suitable for local characteristics, scientifically guide
and supervise the effectiveness of smart community construction, improve the level of smart city
and achieve sustainable development of cities and communities.
In addition, through the standards pilot and testing work, it can provide mature working ideas and
methods for other international standard testing work.
Different cities can learn from each other. They can construct and improve the smart community design,
city planning and maturity models in accordance with international standards. The pilot test results
are promoted to the international standardization system to enhance the visibility of the community
and attract the attention of the industry. Cities can also find shortcomings and further clarify the key
points of smart community construction.
Until now, Chengdu and Nanhai in China have taken the lead in the pilot test work. Hefei, Kawasaki and
Cambridge are going to start standard pilot testing work.

Hefei has a total area of 11 400 km and a total resident population of 7 790 000. The urban built-up
2
area of Hefei is 416 km and the built-up area resident population is about 4,09 million. This city has
selected ISO/TS 37151, ISO 37154 and ISO 37156 for pilot testing.
Kawasaki City was selected as a pilot city in Japan. Kawasaki is a sustainable growing city, it has
multiple functions such as a heavy industrial area, a business area and a commuter town for Tokyo.
Kawasaki selected ISO 37153 for pilot testing.
Cambridge was selected as a pilot city in the UK. Cambridge is the capital of Cambridgeshire in England.
Cambridge's pilot and testing of smart community international standards has provided an important
foundation for the future construction of a friendly city between Cambridge and Hefei.

4.2.2 Implementation in China
4.2.2.1 Chengdu
Chengdu is the provincial capital of Sichuan Province, China, and a sub-provincial city. It covers an
2
area of 14 300 km and has a resident population of nearly 16 million. Chengdu selected ISO/TS 37151,
ISO 37153, ISO 37155-1 and ISO 37156 for pilot testing. Through the pilot test, several documents were
formed. Since September 2017, the municipal government of Chengdu has investigated 20 departments.
The research department has little information about energy and waste and has not collected
corresponding data. In the three aspects of transportation, water and ICT, Chengdu seldom has the
corresponding mature index system standards and norms, but the construction of a performance
evaluation system has a certain basis. Chengdu already has the corresponding recognition and attention
to the construction of the index system, but the construction of the index system only stays at the stage
of a single and individual business, and there is no overall or global platform for the construction of the
index system.
Based on the theory of the life cycle, there are four problems in the management of smart community
infrastructure projects in Chengdu. First, there is no standard reference process or process documents
for smart community infrastructure projects; second, the logic of the project process is not clear;
third, the risk-prevention awareness of the project process is weak; fourth, the particularity of smart
community projects is not fully considered.
The municipal government of Chengdu has a large number of urban basic data resources, but the
management is decentralized and the system is not perfect; the data is incomplete, irregular, incorrect
and inconsistent and has other quality problems. Furthermore, there is no unified data exchange
management platform. Therefore, all departments in the city need to speed up the decentralized
management of data resources and insufficient data sharing.
4.2.2.2 Nanhai
Nanhai district, Foshan, is located in the central part of Guangdong province, the hinterland of the Pearl
river delta, adjacent to Guangzhou, adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao. The whole area covers an area of
2
107 382 km . Nanhai district, combined with the actual situation, selects ISO/TS 37151 and ISO 37156.
Through field investigations of smart cities in Nanhai district and face-to-face communication with
the municipal government of Nanhai, we found that the research department in Nanhai has little
information about energy and waste. It is very difficult to collect the corresponding data and there
are very few mature indicators system standards or specifications. The construction of a performance
evaluation index system in transportation, waste and ICT has a certain foundation, but there is no
overall platform.
Moreover, we found that most of the databases of the municipal government of Nanhai cannot be shared
or can only be shared in a very limited range. They are expensive and inefficient to use and poorly
shared. In addition, at present, information sharing among the municipal government of Nanhai is
mostly point-to-point mode and there is no unified data exchange management platform.
4.2.2.3 Hefei (high-tech zone)
2
Hefei has total area of 11 400 km and a total resident population of 7 790 000. The urban built-up
2
area of Hefei is 416 km and the built-up area resident population is about 4,09 million. Hefei selects
ISO/TS 37151, ISO 37154 and ISO 37156.
The municipal government of Hefei established the working group of pilot testing for international
standards. From the city administrators, environment sector and citizens surveyed, it is learned that
city administrators stress the size, operating efficiency and investment benefits of smart community
infrastructures, especially the operating efficiency. The environment sector of Hefei values the
effective utilization of smart community infrastructures and the improvement of energy use efficiency.
By contrast, the citizens highlight the regional coverage and the accessibility of smart community
infrastructures.

The municipal government of Hefei builds a data exchange and sharing platform for carrying out data
acquisition, data storage, data cleaning, data mining, data visualization and analysis. It also promotes
the big data technology exchange and transformation, the formation of several in the country with
independent intellectual property rights of large data products representative.

4.3 Methods
The pilot project of smart city international standards includes field visiting, research and analysis,
global pilot selection, pilot implementation, pilot summary.
— Research and analysis. From the perspective of smart city technology development, the needs of
smart city standard construction, the current situation of smart city infrastructure standards
construction and the city's current needs, ISO standards are selected as testing standards.
— Global pilot selection. The selection includes the following aspects:
a) Application stage: the city will document an application form in accordance with the
requirements.
b) Preliminary examination stage: the application materials are verified and experts organized to
select qualified declaration cities in batches.
c) Verification stage: the city will start to enter the implementation plan development stage
through the primary city. An ISO international expert group is formed using expert remote
guidance and pilot site inspection to communicate with the city one-on-one and give expert
opinion documents.
d) Selection and announcement stage: a comprehensive evaluation of pilot city’s conditions,
determination of pilot cities.
— Pilot implementation:
a) Interpretation of international test standards: organize relevant knowledge training.
b) Analysis of smart city infrastructure needs: comprehensively evaluate the development needs
and goals of various infrastructures, consider the support of urban resources and relevant
stakeholders and determine the development direction of smart community infrastructure.
c) Standards implementation: pilot work will be carried out in accordance with the implementation
plan, with a period of 2 years.

Annex A
(informative)
Testing report of Chengdu
A.1 General description
A.1.1 General
With the rapid development of the smart community in the world, the smart community management
concept has become the popular model of urban development, driven by the global informatization
trends. It would become the strategic approach of urbanization in the world. International standards
organizations such as ISO, IEC and ITU-T, already have abundant research findings in relevant areas and
have published a series of standards about smart community construction, which play the important
role of guiding smart community development.
A.1.2 Overview of Chengdu City
Chengdu City is the sub-provincial city, which is the provincial capital of Sichuan Province. The
municipal government of Chengdu are highly appreciated in developing smart cities, seeing it as
the core context inside of GDP and social development plans. For promoting the construction of the
Chengdu smart community, the municipal government of Chengdu proposed various projects which
include improving the smart city construction, improving institutional mechanisms, innovating
market cooperation models, promoting smart industry development, improving smart community
infrastructure and promoting social development. Currently, Chengdu has the commanding lead in
transportation services, urban management, public security, information infrastructure, electrical and
water service, spatial geography and sharing information systems, which mean the basic conditions for
smart development are relatively mature.
A.1.3 ISO documents used for this pilot test
In this pilot test, Chengdu participated in ISO/TS 37151, ISO 37153, ISO/37155-1 and ISO 37156.
Through the practising in the progress that transforming standards from international standards to
national or local standards, it would help Chengdu’s smart infrastructure developing with the better
intelligent, better informational sharing, better environment and sustainability development.
A.1.4 Motivations and purpose
After years of developing, Chengdu has got a positive impact on smart community construction.
However, there is still a gap between the current Chengdu infrastructure and the smart community
requirements. In addition, Chengdu’s smart community infrastructure is managed by different
departments and different public organizations, such as the city planning department, building
department, management department, transportation department, water service department and
pollution checking department. For advancing the urbanization, the municipal government of Chengdu
has been active in promoting infrastructure building which is the foundation and the necessary
condition in urban economic and social development.
