Construction of carbon emission management standards system is an important step of standardization. On the basis of current progress on carbon emission management standards in China, a 3D-frame of carbon emission management standards was built up with three sorting techniques as dimensions, namely, property, application object and life cycle. For a full carbon emission management standards framework, many standards are missing at present. According to the framework, 44 items of standards were identified to be established next stage related to prophase work on climate change. To complete the framework, three principles should be followed, which are choosing standards based on the characters of carbon emission, subdivision consideration of relationships with international standards, and carrying out standardization in steps. Relevant suggestions were also proposed on construction of carbon emission management standards system.
