Abstract：Coal and gas outburst is a major hazard threatening coal mine safety production,and its scientific identification serves as the prerequisite for disaster prevention and control.Based on a literature review meth-odology,this paper systematically traces the evolution of China's legal and standard system for coal and gas outburst identification from the 1950s to the present,dividing it into three developmental stages—"initial exploration,""gradual establishment,"and"mature improvement"—and analyzes representative regulations and standards at each stage along with their contributions to mine safety.The study identifies key deficiencies in the current system,including ambiguous legislative intent,poor coordination among standards,overly simplis-tic identification indicators,inadequate adaptability of methods,insufficient procedural oversight,and lack of forward-looking planning.To address these issues,the paper proposes clarifying the legislative orientation toward"precision prevention and control,"establishing a coordinated and unified standard framework,expanding novel indicators and methods(e.g.,tectonic stress analysis and intelligent prediction models),im-proving qualification review and third-party supervision mechanisms,and developing a dynamic,future-oriented planning system tailored for intelligent mining and deep mining conditions.Findings indicate that op-timizing the regulatory and standard system can significantly enhance the scientific rigor and effectiveness of outburst identification,thereby offering substantial theoretical and practical value for modernizing China's coal mine safety governance and preventing catastrophic accidents.
