According to a news report from Kuaijike on May 28, the China Information Security Evaluation Center and the National Confidential Technology Evaluation Center recently jointly announced that 9 domestic AI training and inference chips have been officially included in the "Safe and Reliable Level" Level I certification system.

It is reported that this is the first time for China to establish a specialized AI chip category under the framework of safety and reliability certification, marking the comprehensive extension of information technology innovation projects from traditional CPU, operating system, and database fields to core AI hardware.

Nine domestically produced AI training and inference chips have passed the "Security and Reliability Level" I certification by the China Information Security Evaluation Center, including the Ascend 310 (Huawei HiSilicon), Ascend 910 (Huawei HiSilicon), Zhenwu M530 (Penguin Computing), Zhenwu M890 (Penguin Computing), Bili™166 (Shanghai Biren), DCU-3G (Haiguang Information), KCC-V100X chip (TianShuZhiXin), MXC600 (Muxi Integrated Circuits), and PH100 (Moore Threads).

Full text of the announcement:

According to the requirements of the "Guide for Security and Reliability Evaluation V3.0", the results of the security and reliability evaluation are hereby announced, and they are valid for three years from the date of publication.

This is hereby announced.

The 9 products that passed the certification this time come from 7 domestic chip companies. Among them, Huawei HiSilicon's Ascend 310 and Ascend 910 processors were both selected, and Alibaba's Pingtouge's Zhenwu M530 and M890 were also listed.

In addition, Biren Technology's Bili™166, Haiguang Information's DCU-3G, Tianshu Zhi Xin's KCC-V100X, Muxi Integrated Circuits' MXC600, and Moor's PH100 have all passed the evaluation, and all certifications are valid for three years.

As an important component of the information and innovation project, the certification results will serve as a de facto access directory for government agencies, enterprises, and other key sectors when purchasing AI chips.

Chinese chip manufacturers are continuously replacing NVIDIA's previous share in the domestic market. Data shows that in 2025, a total of 4 million AI GPUs were delivered in China's AI server market, with domestic chips accounting for 41%. Huawei alone shipped about 812,000 units. It is estimated that its AI processor business revenue will exceed $12 billion in 2026.

Morgan Stanley predicts that by 2030, the market size of China's AI chip industry will reach US$67 billion, with domestically produced chips expected to meet approximately 76% of the market demand.
