About ChinaStandards

Eric Chen, founder of ChinaStandards

Founded by Eric Chen, ChinaStandards aims to provide industry standards accessible to the rest of the world.

Our mission is to remove the language barrier that prevents engineers, compliance teams, and businesses from understanding the regulations that govern the world's largest manufacturing economy.

Eric is an electrical engineer with 20+ years in automotive and consumer electronics. For most of that time, he watched colleagues abroad struggle to get their hands on the Chinese standards they needed. He started ChinaStandards to fix that. One place, honest translations, no surprises.

Outside work he's a dad of two, a stubborn home barista, and loves spending weekends hiking somewhere between Shenzhen and Sichuan.

1,000+ Standards

Our database covers GB, GB/T, and industry sector standards — the most comprehensive English-language collection available.

Professional Translations

Every standard is translated by professional linguists with technical domain expertise, ensuring accuracy and readability.

Instant Delivery

PDFs are delivered automatically within seconds of purchase. No waiting for manual processing.

Always Current

We track the validity status of every standard — valid, superseded, or withdrawn — so you never work with outdated information.

Our Translation Process

Quality is non-negotiable. Every translation follows a rigorous multi-stage process aligned with ISO 17100 (Translation Services — Requirements for Translation Services) to ensure technical accuracy, terminological consistency, and regulatory fidelity.

1

Initial Translation

A domain-specialist translator produces the first draft, using CAT tools and terminology databases to ensure consistency across related standards.

2

Technical Review

A second translator with subject-matter expertise reviews the translation for accuracy, verifying technical terms against industry glossaries.

3

Proofreading & QA

A third reviewer checks formatting, numbering, cross-references, and linguistic quality. Automated QA tools catch any remaining inconsistencies.

4

Final Delivery

The completed PDF is formatted to match the original document structure, with bilingual headers and accurate table/figure reproduction.

Our Team

ChinaStandards is built by a team of translation professionals, engineers, and compliance specialists with deep expertise in Chinese regulatory frameworks.

Translation Team

Our translators hold degrees in Translation & Interpretation (MTI) from leading Chinese universities and have 5+ years of experience in technical standardization documents. All translators are native Chinese speakers with certified English proficiency.

Industry Specialists

For sector-specific standards (medical devices, automotive, food safety, construction), we work with subject-matter experts who understand the regulatory context — not just the language.

Quality Assurance

A dedicated QA team reviews every translation before delivery. We maintain internal terminology databases for 80+ industry sectors to ensure consistency across all published standards.
