GB/T 22849-2024 was issued as part of China’s No.1 announcement on approved national standards in 2024 by the Standardization Administration of China. It replaces the previous iteration – GB/T 22849-2014 – and will become effective on October 1, 2024.

GB/T 22849-2024 applies to t-shirts made predominantly from knitted fabrics and does not apply to knitted t-shirts made for infants who are not older than 36 months. It should be noted, t-shirts worn by children aged three to 14 years must also comply with GB 31701.
