GB/T 50430, Code for Quality Management of Construction Enterprises, is China’s first national standard dedicated to standardizing quality management practices in the construction sector. Initially released on October 23, 2007, and implemented on March 1, 2008, it provides a comprehensive framework to regulate workflows across the entire project lifecycle—from bidding and contract execution to warranty services.
Key Objectives
Strengthen quality accountability and self-regulation within enterprises.
Promote scientific, standardized, and legally compliant quality management practices.
Optimize processes including design reviews, on-site inspections, and final acceptance protocols.
The standard was revised to align with evolving industry demands, resulting in GB/T 50430-2017, which officially replaced the 2007 version on January 1, 2018. Key updates include enhanced risk management, digital workflow integration, and stricter subcontractor compliance requirements.
GB/T 50430 certification applies to:
Construction entities: General contractors, subcontractors, and specialized firms.
Project stakeholders: Design institutes, supervision companies, and surveyors.
Sectors: Power engineering, highway construction, railway projects, environmental engineering, and more.
By adopting GB/T 50430, organizations demonstrate compliance with China’s regulatory mandates while improving operational transparency and market competitiveness.
