Definition of Core Terms
| Term Type | Definition | Corresponding English |

Detailed Explanation of Naming Rules
Naming of National Key Laboratories
It must include three core elements: institutional attributes + professional fields + administrative divisions, example:
- Chinese: State Key Testing Laboratory of Toy (Shanghai)
- English: State Key Testing Laboratory of Toy (Shanghai)
Naming of regional central laboratories
Two models are adopted:
- Professional fields + regional attributes: such as "South China Plant Quarantine Regional Central Laboratory"
- Institutional abbreviation + testing field: such as "Guangzhou Central Laboratory (Animal Quarantine)"
Implementation points
Case 1: A food safety testing laboratory applied for national accreditation. According to clause 5.3 of the standard, its English name should follow:
State Key Testing Laboratory of Foodborne Pathogenic Microorganism (Anhui)
Technological evolution: Compared with the 2009 version of GB/T 1.1, this standard adds:
- Correspondence requirements for bilingual naming
- Standardized expression of professional terminology
- Linkage clauses with CNAS-IL06
Compliance recommendations
- Ensure consistency between Chinese and English terminology
- Avoid the use of ambiguous expressions such as "center", "key" and other non-standard terms
- Newly established laboratories should reserve 15% of naming expansion space
