GB/T 17643-2025 took effect on 1 November 2025. Projects using this Chinese standard should review tender templates, product classifications, test reports and acceptance clauses, then formally clarify which edition governs existing contracts.
Confirm the governing contract basis
Identify the edition named in the signed contract, approved submittal and inspection plan. A newer publication does not automatically rewrite an existing agreement.
Rebuild the compliance matrix
Map every purchase requirement to the corresponding product class, property, unit and test method in the adopted edition. Flag renamed or newly grouped items for formal clarification.
Align reports and acceptance records
Update supplier report templates, third-party instructions and site acceptance forms together so that samples, methods and pass criteria remain consistent.
Project action list
What the procurement or project team should do next
Record the governing standard edition in the PO
Issue a formal clarification for legacy projects
Approve the revised test-report template
Do not compare reports produced under different methods as if identical
