Introduction

Interpretation of the core content of the standard

This standard replaces GB/T16759-2017, and for the first time includes services in the scope of comparative testing. It adopts the ISO/IEC Guide46:2017 international guide framework, and focuses on the following specifications:

Dimensions Requirements of this standard Differences between international standards
Scope of application Product + Service Product only
Definition of terms Modify 3 key terms Keep the original expression
Reference to standards GB/T27000 replaces ISO17000 Directly quotes ISO standards

Analysis of implementation points

Sampling principles

Emphasis on market availability and randomness, requirements:

  • The sample status must be consistent with what consumers actually obtain
  • Service sampling needs to consider industry characteristics (such as fast food vs. financial services)
  • When publishing results, it is necessary to ensure that the product is still on sale

Feature selection

Priority should be given to 12 core features that affect consumer decisions:

Case: The comparative test of household appliances needs to test mandatory standard indicators such as energy consumption (GB21455) and noise (GB19606), as well as non-standard characteristics such as APP control convenience.

Activity type Testing purpose Result form
Comparative test Quality difference analysis Grading and sorting
Market supervision Compliance verification Pass/fail
Quality control Production stability Process parameters

Laboratory implementation recommendations

  1. Prioritize the use of laboratories accredited by GB/T27025
  2. Non-standard methods require method validation
  3. Major risk results must be reported to the manufacturer within 24 hours
  4. Service testing should be combined with special methods such as mystery shoppers

Note: This standard is not applicable to the identification of counterfeit goods. Related activities should be carried out in accordance with ISO22383:2020
