GB 7258-2004

GB 7258-2004 establishes the fundamental safety technical requirements for the design, manufacture, and inspection of all power-driven vehicles operating on public roads in China, including cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles. It is applied by vehicle manufacturers for compliance certification, by traffic authorities for roadworthiness inspections, and by testing laboratories to verify vehicle safety features such as braking, lighting, and steering systems. This standard serves as the primary regulatory benchmark for ensuring the safe operation of motor vehicles across China's road network.
