Foreword
This Standard was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This Standard replaces GB/T 5345-2008 "Road vehicles - Labelling of
containers for petroleum-based or non-petroleum-based brake fluid".
Compared with GB/T 5345-2008, the main changes are as follows.
- ADD "Graphical symbols to designate brake fluid" (see Clause 1 of this
Standard);
- ADD the term "silicon-based brake fluid" and its definition (see 3.3 of this
Standard);
- DELETE "Labelling of containers for brake fluid on vehicles shall meet the
requirements of 4.6.2" (see 4.1 of 2008 edition);
- MODIFY the requirements for labelling of containers for brake fluid on
vehicles (see 4.5.2 of this Standard, 4.5.2 of 2008 edition);
- MODIFY the requirements for warning information on containers (see 4.6.2
of this Standard, 4.6.2 of 2008 edition);
- ADD the graphical symbol to designate silicon-based brake fluid (see A.3
of this Standard).
This Standard was prepared using the redrafting method with reference to ISO
3871.2000 "Road vehicles - Labelling of containers for petroleum-based or non-
petroleum-based brake fluid" and ISO 9128.2006 "Road vehicles - Graphical
symbols to designate brake fluid types". The degree of consistency with ISO
3871.2000 and ISO 9128.2006 is non-equivalent.
This Standard was proposed by Ministry of Industry and Information
Technology of the People's Republic of China.
This Standard shall be under the jurisdiction of National Technical Committee
of Auto Standardization (SAC/TC 114).
Drafting organizations of this Standard. Zhejiang Asia-Pacific Mechanical and
Electronic Co., Ltd., FAW Car Co., Ltd.
Main drafters of this Standard. Hu Shuibing, Shi Ruikang, Wang Lei.
