It is the document every other Chinese radioactive waste standard sits under. Issued on 5 August 2002, in force since 1 April 2003, replacing GB 14500-1993. This page is published from the official record of the standard held by the Chinese standards administration: the identification, the dates, the classification and the edition it replaces are taken from there.
