1 Scope

GB/T 13568-2025 is the Chinese national standard on table band sawing machines - vocabulary and accuracy, in the field of wood technology. The /T suffix marks it as a recommended standard: it is not compulsory by itself, but it becomes binding as soon as a contract, a tender or a customer specification calls it up - which in practice is how most foreign buyers meet it. It was issued on 31 October 2025 by the State Administration for Market Regulation; Standardization Administration of China, and has been in force since 1 May 2026. Classification: ICS 79.120.10, CCS J65. 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 issuing body are taken from there. The clause text, the tables and the numeric limits are in the document itself, which is delivered complete in English translation.

This document defines the terminology for joinery band saws and their main components, specifies geometric accuracy inspection procedures and corresponding tolerances, and describes related... The corresponding test method. This document applies to the precision inspection of general-purpose, ordinary-precision woodworking band saws. This document is not applicable to operational tests of joinery band saws (such as inspections for vibration, abnormal noise, and component creep), nor is it applicable to... Machine tool characteristic inspection (such as speed, feed rate, etc.).
