Abstract: In this paper, we studied the technologies and standards developments of data forensics equipment in domestic and abroad. The requirements and conformance assessment methods for data forensics equipment are discussed. Since there are no open domestic standards for data forensics equipment, we propose a standards system for data forensics equipment. The standards system is mainly on technology requirements and test standards for data forensics equipment, which can provide useful helps for product design and manufacture guides for corporations. And it can also provide a blueprint for standard formulation and revision on data forensics equipment. Meanwhile, the standards system can improve the products test and product quality. Hence, it can help the police to get effective data and improve the criminal case investigation efficiency.

Key words: data forensics equipment, cyber crime, forensics, conformance assessment, standards system
