Guobiao
Guóbiāo (国标) (GB) in the People's Republic of China is the abbreviation of
- Guójiā Biāozhǔn (国家标准), meaning the "National Standards", or
- Guójiā Biāozhǔn Mǎ (国家标准码), meaning the "National Standard Encoding" as Chinese character encoding system.
Both are issued by the Standardization Administration of China (SAC), the Chinese National Committee of the ISO and IEC.
National Standards
Like ANSI in the US, GB standards fall in many areas. Mandatory standards are prefixed "GB". Recommended standards are prefixed "GB/T" where the letter T is from Chinese tuījiàn (推荐, recommended). A standard number follows "GB" or "GB/T". The following is a partial list of widely used National Standards of the People's Republic of China. Compared to many international standards of ISO, many standards are identical (IDT), equivalent (EQV), or non-equivalent (NEQ).
