				        	The International Organization for Standardization/Technical Committee of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ISO/TC249) is an exclusive ISO platform for international standardization of TCM, and also the important platform for the "the Belt and Road Initiative". Its scope of work includes the development of international standards for Chinese Medicine, medical devices and equipments, terminology and information. This study sorted out the background, countries, fields, modes and achievements of ISO/TC249 international cooperation, and summarized its innovation mechanism and work experience, and proposed that under the new development situation of traditional medicine, international standardization cooperation of TCM needs to be inclusive and promote the development of traditional medicine together; comprehensive development should be performed, strengthening cooperation with ethnic medicines; internal skills should be strengthened and a stable and refined team of experts should be established; confidence should be strengthened to protect the intellectual property rights of TCM.
