11. October 2024

On September 29, 2024, the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) approved 20 new or updated national GB standards. These updates include significant revisions to the categories automotive lights, reflectors, warning triangles and child seats, addressing multiple product categories within this field. The newly released standards include the updated GB 4599-2024, which covers “Automobile road lighting devices and systems”; GB 5920-2024, detailing “Vehicle and trailer light signal devices and systems”; GB 11564-2024 on “Retro-reflective devices for motor vehicles” and GB 27887-2024 “Restraint systems for child occupants of motor vehicles.” Each of these standards incorporates and replaces previous regulations that governed various aspects of these product categories.
