This study reviews the research progress and limitations of the safety standard system for blasting vibration in China to promote standard optimization and technological development. The core provisions of existing national standards and major industrial standards in water conservancy, railway, mining, and municipal engineering, with emphasis on major differences in vibration limits for various protected objects. Recent research progress was also reviewed regarding blast vibration propagation, safety criteria, structural response, intelligent prediction and vibration reduction technologies. Results show that the current standard system is limited in overlapping provisions, conflicting limits, and insufficient coverage of special geological conditions and emerging structural types. It is still dominated by static single-parameter control, posing deficiencies in frequency-velocity coupling framework and cumulative damage assessment. Despite significant advances in numerical simulation, machine learning prediction and electronic detonator precise delay technology, it is limited in the implementation of these research outcomes and insufficient validations. In this light, this study proposes the restructuring of the standard system into a "general basic + industry-specific" architecture by introducing dynamic, multi-parameter coupled control and intelligent monitoring systems to promote bidirectional translation among research, standards, engineering applications and enhance international alignment. This study provides references for the refined revision of blast vibration control standards and their engineering applications.
