On April 13, 2026, an online special lecture on forensic appraisal practice was successfully held. The lecture was delivered by He Xiaodan, focusing on the core content of forensic appraisal standards. It systematically covered the forensic appraisal standard system, its regulatory function, the interaction with scientific and technological innovation, and future research directions. With solid content and strong professionalism, the lecture provided valuable support for students to consolidate their practical foundation and broaden research horizons.
During the lecture, He Xiaodan first elaborated on the basics of forensic appraisal standards, clearly explaining the concepts of standards and standardization as well as their key roles in social development and forensic appraisal. She introduced the forensic appraisal standard system comprising basic standards, technical standards, and management standards. In addition, combined with the newly revised Standardization Law of the People’s Republic of China, she illustrated the hierarchy and formulation procedures of standards, distinguished the boundaries between standards and laws and regulations, and presented international frameworks such as ISO/TC 272 to help students gain a comprehensive understanding.

Focusing on the core value of forensic appraisal standards, He Xiaodan emphasized their regulatory and guiding roles in appraisal activities. She noted that appraisal activities must comply with the relevant provisions of the General Provisions of Forensic Appraisal Procedures, giving priority to national standards, industry standards, and technical specifications, so as to ensure standardized procedures, reliable results, and the comparability and consistency of appraisal opinions.

Regarding the interaction between standards, technological innovation, and quality control, He Xiaodan pointed out that standards provide a stable orderly basis and reduce costs for innovation, while innovation drives the continuous upgrading of standards. She analyzed their positive interaction mechanism with typical cases. Meanwhile, she explained the close link between standards and certifications including CNAS and CMA, and addressed the practical contradictions in standard supply for emerging appraisal fields, helping students understand real-world challenges in the industry.

At the end of the lecture, He Xiaodan outlined future research directions in forensic appraisal, including method validation, the regulation of group standards, and research on international standards such as ISO 17025 and ISO/TC 272. She welcomed students interested in standardization to conduct in-depth exchanges and collaborative research.

This online lecture was both theoretically in-depth and practice-oriented. It comprehensively interpreted the forensic appraisal standard system and industry development trends, effectively enhanced students’ understanding of forensic appraisal practice, laid a solid foundation for academic studies and future research, and contributed positively to the talent cultivation in the forensic appraisal discipline.
