The group of Chinese (GB) standard specifications covers iron and carbon and alloy steel within different delivery conditions such as plates, strips, shits, bars, wires, castings, forgings etc. All character set standards that originate in the PRC have designations that begin with "GB". GB is an abbreviation of Guojia Biaozhun, meaning "national standard".
GB standards are the Chinese national standards issued by the Standardization Administration of China (SAC), the Chinese National Committee of the ISO and the IEC. This article gives information on the following material categories:
For more information on the GB designation system see Introduction to the GB Standard Designation System.
