Methods and requirements for quantifying the carbon footprint of greenhouse gas products steel products

1 Scope

GB/T 47064-2026 is the Chinese national standard covering the carbon footprint of a steel product - the boundary between blast furnace and electric arc routes, the allocation between the many products of an integrated works, the scrap accounting and the purchased electricity. It is the number a European buyer will be asking for under the carbon border adjustment. First edition. It was issued on 28 January 2026 and has been in force since 1 August 2026, as a first edition. The document is under the responsibility of the China Iron and Steel Association. This page is published from the official record of the 2026 edition; the clause text of a standard this recent is not yet in circulation, and the figures, limits and tables it contains are those of the document itself, delivered in full with the English translation.

This document establishes the principles and procedures for quantifying the carbon footprint of steel products, and specifies the objectives, target products and scope of the work. Requirements for product carbon footprint inventory analysis, product carbon footprint evaluation and reporting, and product carbon footprint information exchange. This document applies to the quantification and information exchange of the carbon footprint of steel products, as well as the management of the carbon footprint of steel products by steel enterprises.
