The U.K. manufacturer is back to trials after an initial prototype aircraft suffered a crash last year.
The proposed standards represent a major milestone in the certification of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVOL) air taxis and other novel designs.
The company is one of two electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxi manufacturers to receive the approval, the other being Joby Aviation.
The aircraft is designed to take a student from instrument training through commercial certification on a single platform.
The manufacturer says the technology is designed to accelerate its path to supplemental type certification with regulators in the U.S. and New Zealand.
Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft manufacturer EHang says it now has the trio of approvals necessary to scale up commercial operations in China.
The milestone paves the way for deliveries of the long-awaited business jet to begin, the company said.
The manufacturer has now received a total of $47 million in British government grant funding, which it will use to develop its next-generation propellers.
The Chinese manufacturer said it was the first to achieve the milestone, flying about 31 miles between Shenzhen and Zhuhai.
