Introduction
National Standard of the People's Republic of China GB/T 37233—2018 Technical Specification for the Identification of Document Production Time
Background and Significance of Standard Formulation
The identification of the production time of a document is of great significance in judicial practice. By accurately judging the formation time of a document, it is possible to effectively prevent and expose document forgery and ensure judicial fairness.
The GB/T 37233—2018 standard was formulated based on many years of research and practice, integrating the identification methods of various document types (printing, electrostatic copying, and seal imprints), and providing a unified technical specification for judicial identification.
Main identification methods
- Printing documents: analysis based on the stage and synchronous characteristics of printing
- Electrostatic copying documents: application of the stage and synchronous characteristics of electrostatic copying
- Seal text: judging the stamping time by the aging and defect characteristics of the seal text
- Ink and red ink sequence: analysis of the microscopic characteristics of the intersection to determine the sequence
| Identification methods | Applicable scenarios | Key features |
|---|---|---|
| Printing documents | Documents related to printer manufacturing | Printing stage characteristics, Synchronic characteristics |
| Electrostatic copying documents | Documents related to copier manufacturing | Stage characteristics of electrostatic copying, synchronous characteristics |
| Seal marks | Documents that require determination of stamping time | Printing surface defects, Distribution of attachments |
Identification steps and implementation suggestions
Printed document identification steps
- Sample inspection: Analysis of printing form and digital watermark characteristics
- Sample inspection: Determine the sample nominal time and analyze the printing characteristics
- Comparative inspection: Comparison of the stage and synchronous characteristics of documents printed on the same machine
Identification steps for electrostatic copy documents
- Sample inspection: Analyze the model and characteristics of electrostatic copiers
- Sample inspection: Determine the sample nominal time and analyze the copying characteristics
- Comparative inspection: Compare the stage and synchronous characteristics of documents copied by the same machine
Identification steps for seals and seal inscriptions
- Sample inspection: Analyze the distribution characteristics of seal surface defects and attachments
- Sample inspection: Determine the sample nominal time and analyze the copying characteristics
- Comparative inspection: Compare the synchronous characteristics of the same seal in different time periods
Identification method and case analysis of the time sequence of red and black ink
Microscopic inspection method
Use a high-power microscope to observe the microscopic features of the intersection of printed characters to determine the formation order. For example, if the characters are printed first and then printed, the strokes of the characters are continuous, but the printed text may be shrunk or missing.

Fluorescence inspection method
Use fluorescence features to analyze the distribution of printed text and text materials to determine the formation order. For example, if the characters are printed first and then printed, the printed text may be covered by the text colorant and have dragging marks.
Types of appraisal opinions and judgment basis
Printing documents
| Appraisal opinions | Applicable conditions |
|---|---|
| Determine that the printing is formed in a certain period of time | The inspection material and the sample are printed by the same printer, and the phase characteristics meet |
| Tend to be earlier/later | The phase characteristics of the sample have certain value, but do not fully meet |
Seal and stamp
The types of appraisal opinions include: stamping in a certain period of time, tending to be earlier/later, and unable to judge. The judgment is mainly based on the defects of the stamp and the distribution of ink marks.
Implementation Suggestions
- Identification agencies should establish standardized laboratories equipped with advanced instruments and equipment
- Strengthen the training of identification personnel to improve their technical level and judgment ability
- Regularly update the sample database to ensure the effectiveness of the comparison conditions
