This paper introduces the current status of international standards of acupuncture and moxibustion.We take the international standards of acupuncture and moxibustion issued by the international organization for standardization(ISO)，World Health Organization(WHO) and the World Federation of Acupuncture and Moxibustion societies(WFAS) as examples.The results show that the number of international standards on acupuncture and moxibustion is increasing year by year，and different international organizations have different empositions in the areas of standards，which basically cover the needs of acupuncture and moxibustion.However，there are still problems such as a long period of setting international standards related to acupuncture，insufficient international standard systems to meet market demands，a large gap of professional talents，poor access to international standards，and imperfect standard information platforms etc.In view of the above problems，our team put forward several suggestions:strengthen international cooperation and promote the formation of the best order; promote the methodological research on the transformation from domestic standards into international standards; strengthen the construction of standard talents and disciplines; build an information service platform; unblock the channels for obtaining information; strengthen the publicity and training，so that standards can come from practice to practice.
