[Purpose/significance] Establishing and perfecting the intelligence product standards and quality control mechanism is an important measure to ensure the quality of intelligence products and services. This paper aims to study American intelligence product standards and its quality control mechanism, and provide reference for our country.[Method/process] By reviewing the relevant legal policies and documents about intelligence products in the field of intelligence and law enforcement in U.S, this paper summarized the types, standards and quality control mechanisms of intelligence products, and then analyzed the basic ideals and logics of the design of American intelligence products standards.[Result/conclusion] According to the logic of process management and factors management, and the basic concepts of legitimacy, practicability, positivism and user demand orientation, the United States law enforcement and intelligence community has set standards for intelligence products about the quality requirements, content standards, form standards, source attributes, user feedback, testimony and legal consideration,which follows the basic ideas of "source data control, cognitive defect control, analysis process control and statement normative control", and the analytical framework of "hypothesis-evidence (information)-conclusion (judgement and suggestion)". In order to ensures intelligence products meet the quality standards of "accuracy, objectivity, timeliness and independence", it sets four kinds of control mechanisms that including intelligence analysts self-checking, user feedback, peer review and supervision by competent authorities. And then it has formed relatively mature standards and quality control of intelligence products. It is suggested that China should learn from the experience of the United States based on the National Intelligence Law, to improve the quality of intelligence products by clarifying the basic requirements, developing unified standards and models, and establishing effective quality control mechanism for intelligence products.
