CADPA T/CADPA 59-2025 online game classification standard takes effect 6 Feb 2025
Analysis
By UA Ledger staff — 1 min read
CADPA’s 7 January 2025 announcement approves group standard T/CADPA 59-2025《网络游戏分类》, effective 6 February 2025. The announcement page names the standard but does not publish classification tables or genre definitions.
The same CADPA notice 关于发布《网络游戏分类》和《游戏分发与推广基本要求》两项团体标准的公告 (音数团标〔2025〕21号), opened 20 September 2026 and dated 7 January 2025, approves T/CADPA 59-2025 《网络游戏分类》 (online game classification) with implementation from 6 February 2025.
Observed vs not observed
On the announcement: standard ID, Chinese title, publish date, effective date, and pairing with T/CADPA 60-2025 on the same notice.
Not on the announcement: taxonomy tables, genre definitions, age-band mapping, store metadata schemas, or any statement that classification labels must appear in paid UA creatives.
Secondary summaries sometimes describe 59-2025 as guiding multi-dimensional product analysis for regulators and developers. Those interpretive claims are outside the announcement body opened here.
