PRC RESOURCES: USING THE DIRECTORY OF CHINESE NATIONAL STANDARDS

NATIONAL PUBLIC SERVICE PLATFORM FOR STANDARDS INFORMATION

This database contains information on all categories of Chinese standards (national, industry, local, association, and enterprise), standards development organizations, technical committees, experts, and links to foreign and international organizations, including the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). It also provides information on public comment solicitations for various standards proposals, drafts, projects, and technical committees in the planning stage. Serving as a one-stop shop for official information on Chinese standards, it also links to the National Standards Full-text Publications System for further details on national standards.

The database is in Chinese only. National standards for food safety, environmental protection, and engineering construction are not included in this system. Consult relevant ministries for more information.

NATIONAL STANDARDS FULL-TEXT PUBLICATIONS SYSTEM

This database discloses the full texts of all mandatory national standards (GB), recommended national standards (GB/T), and technical guidance (GB/Z) approved and issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) and the Standards Administration of China (SAC) before January 1, 2017. For standards published after this date, this system will publish the full texts within 20 business days after the release of the "National Standard Approval and Release Announcement".

The disclosure of recommended national standards and technical guidance adopted from international standards complies with international copyright policies. The full texts of most standards that are not adopted from international standards can be viewed online or downloaded. For standards adopted from international standards, the full texts can only be viewed online, or only their bibliographic information is available.

The texts provided in this system are for reference only. Please use the official standard publications as the official versions.

Same as the National Public Service Platform for Standards, this database is only available in Chinese, and the national standards for food safety, environmental protection, and engineering construction are not included in this system.
