Referenced standards

Standards listed in GB 38031-2025, Section 2 (Normative References) and the References section at the end of the document.

Normative references (Section 2)

These standards are referenced normatively — their requirements form an essential part of GB 38031-2025. Where a date is given, only that version applies; otherwise, the latest version (including amendments) applies.

Standard Title Where used in GB 38031-2025
GB/T 2423.4 Electrical and Electronic Products Environmental Testing — Part 2: Test Methods — Test Db: Damp Heat (12h+12h Cycle) Damp heat cycling (8.2.5)
GB/T 2423.17—2024 Environmental Testing — Part 2: Test Methods — Test Ka: Salt Spray Salt fog (8.2.9)
GB/T 2423.43 Vibration, Shock, and Similar Dynamic Tests — Mounting of Specimens Vibration (8.2.1), Simulated collision (8.2.3)
GB/T 2423.56 Test Fh: Wideband Random Vibration and Guidelines Vibration (8.2.1)
GB/T 4208—2017 Enclosure Protection Levels (IP Code) Immersion (8.2.6) Method 2 (IPX7)
GB/T 19596 Terminology for Electric Vehicles Section 3 (general EV terminology beyond the terms defined in §3)
GB/T 28046.4—2011 Road Vehicles — Environmental Conditions and Testing for Electrical and Electronic Equipment — Part 4: Climatic Loads Salt fog (8.2.9)

Informative references (References section, end of document)

These are referenced informatively — they're cited as examples of acceptable methods (e.g., for risk-reduction analysis under Appendix C.3.2) but are not strict requirements.

Standard Title Where used
GB/T 4780—2020 Automotive Body Terminology Definition of "body frame" (3.20)
GB/T 20438 (all parts) Functional Safety of Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic Safety-Related Systems TP risk reduction analysis (C.3.2)
GB/T 34590 (all parts) Road Vehicles — Functional Safety TP risk reduction analysis (C.3.2)
ISO 26262 (all parts) Road Vehicles — Functional Safety TP risk reduction analysis (C.3.2)
IEC 61508 (all parts) Functional Safety of Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic Safety-Related Systems TP risk reduction analysis (C.3.2)

Engineering note (non-normative): The functional-safety standards (GB/T 20438, GB/T 34590, ISO 26262, IEC 61508) are listed as examples for the TP risk-reduction analysis. The standard says "or similar methods" — manufacturers may use any reputable functional-safety methodology. In practice, OEMs supplying both Chinese and European markets typically use ISO 26262 to satisfy both jurisdictions.

Engineering note (non-normative): When a standard is referenced without a date (e.g., GB/T 2423.43), the latest version including all amendments applies — so the test lab must use the current edition at the time of testing, not the edition current when GB 38031-2025 was published.
