Core Concepts & Scope
Within the unified online-disclosure framework, a dual-track mechanism is preserved for health-related products. The National Health Commission (NHC) issued Guoweitong [2024] No. 4 on 1 February 2024, clarifying that when an enterprise standard covers disinfection products, water-related products or other health-related articles, the enterprise must, besides QIB Platform self-declaration, still submit the relevant materials to the local health administration under the National Health Supervision and Sampling Inspection Provisions for Health-Related Products.
a has observed that makers of disinfectant wipes, water-purifier cartridges and water-contacting pipes in particular must attend to dual-track submission, as omission on either track triggers corrective review.
The 2025 recommended national standard GB/T 45799-2025 Guide for Enterprise Standardization Work imposes a unified seven-chapter structure: Scope, Normative References, Terms and Definitions, Technical Requirements, Test Methods, Inspection Rules, and Marking, Packaging, Transportation and Storage.
Key Rules & Regulatory Points
It explicitly states that each indicator under Technical Requirements must not fall below the corresponding GB/T or industry standard (HB, QB, YY, etc.), and encourages advanced enterprise standards that exceed those benchmarks. When drafting enterprise standard documents, a checks seven-chapter completeness line by line and cross-validates key indicators against the relevant GB/T texts.
Key sources include: Article 27 and 39 of the Standardization Law of the PRC (2017 Revision); SAMR Announcement No. 1 of 2024 on the Measures for Enterprise Standards; the official QIB Platform operation manual; NHC Guoweitong [2024] No. 4 of 1 February 2024 and the referenced Health-Related Products Sampling Provisions; GB/T 45799-2025 Guide for Enterprise Standardization Work; and the H2 2025 public badge rules of Tmall, JD.com Self-operated and Douyin E-commerce.

Practical Checklist
This guidance applies to enterprises, individual industrial and commercial households and farmer cooperatives lawfully established in China that manufacture or sell productsincluding the entrusting / liable entity for imported products sold domesticallyand need to apply enterprise standards and complete public disclosure.
Health-related products (disinfection products, water-related products, etc.) follow the dual QIB disclosure plus NHC submission track. Products that only implement mandatory national standards (GB), recommended national standards (GB/T) or industry standards without a dedicated enterprise standard are outside the mandatory scope.
a recommends that companies build an executed-standard inventory at the SKU level to avoid any scenario where disclosure is required but not performed.
Common Pitfalls
Common misconceptions observed with clients include: assuming the old filing channels still exist after the new Measures took effect, when in reality all offline enterprise product standard filing windows have closed and only the online QIB Platform disclosure remains; assuming water-related products only need QIB disclosure while overlooking the NHC dual-track; assuming the seven chapters of GB/T 45799-2025 are advisory only, when marketplaces and SAMR spot checks now verify chapter completeness line by line; assuming a Q-number can be self-assigned and used immediately, when submission through QIB must yield both the official number and a public screenshot; and assuming marketplace badge inspections only verify CCC certificates, when enterprise-standard public-record checks for high-tier badges such as China Quality Manufacturing have been routine since H2 2025.
a reviews both the standard text and disclosure status item by item before handover.
This article provides general guidance on enterprise standard self-declaration public disclosure under the 2024 Measures and the 2025 GB/T 45799-2025. It does not replace case-specific determinations issued by the local SAMR branch or health administration for a particular product; it does not cover association standards (T/) or local standards (DB/); nor does it constitute legal advice.
Consequences & Tips
Specialised domains such as medical device enterprise standards, pharmaceutical registration standards and military-confidential standards are handled separately under the respective competent authorities. a states in every service contract that the controlling sources are the live QIB Platform disclosure status together with the latest SAMR and NHC documents in force.
Before launching disclosure, companies should prepare as follows: create an executed-standard inventory, classify SKUs by GB / GB/T / industry standard / enterprise standard (Q/) and flag health-related categories; for SKUs needing an enterprise standard, draft it against GB/T 45799-2025 seven chapters and ensure every key indicator meets or exceeds the corresponding GB/T or industry standard; register and complete QIB Platform setup (legal-person verification + authorised contact); upload the standard text and declaration letter, then print the system-generated Q-number under Executed Standard on the package, nameplate and user manual; prepare a separate dossier for health-related products and submit to the local NHC; finally archive the Q-number and screenshot for quick retrieval during badge applications and spot checks.
a supports drafting, benchmark checking, platform submission and NHC dossier formatting.
