GB/T 8456-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering the diameter by which a circular knitting machine is ordered — the nominal diameter defined as the bottom diameter of the needle cylinder groove rather than any outside measurement, the series of values in millimetres, and the code that designates the machine specification, so that a cylinder quoted by one builder and a needle gauge from GB/T 8458 describe the same machine to the next buyer. It replaces GB/T 8456-2003, under the China National Textile and Apparel Council. In force from 1 December 2025. Issued on 30 May 2025, it has been in force since 1 December 2025, replacing GB/T 8456-2003.
