GB 7258 is an important part of national safety technical standard of China, the most basic technical standard for power-driven vehicle operation safety management and accident vehicle inspection such as registration inspection as well as in-use vehicle and power-driven vehicle inspection, and one key technical basis of the compulsory inspections for type approval of new vehicles, factory delivery inspection of new vehicles, and inspection of imported vehicles in China.
It should be noted that:
a) Tramcar belongs to the power-driven vehicle specified in Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, i.e., the road vehicles, but its structure and technical characteristic are obviously different from those of other road vehicles like motor vehicles, wheeled mobile machinery for special purpose, etc., and therefore GB 7258 is not applicable to it;
b) Considering the variety of types and function of wheeled mobile machinery for special purpose, the overall dimensions, axle load and mass parameter, steering performance, brake performance, external lighting and signal devices as well as electrical equipment, vehicle body, safety protection device and the like are not specifically stipulated in GB 7258;
c) Fork-lift truck does not belong to road vehicles; due to its special appearance and structure, it is not suitable for travelling and being used on road.
Technical Specifications for Safety of Power-driven Vehicles Operating on Roads
1 Scope
This standard specifies the basic technical requirements on relevant operation safety of complete vehicle, principal assembly and safety protection device of power-driven vehicle as well as the additional requirements of fire fighting truck, ambulance, rescue vehicle, police vehicle and vehicle for handicapped driving.
This standard is applicable to all the power-driven vehicles operating on roads in China, but not applicable to tramcar and wheeled mobile machinery for special purpose which is not designed and manufactured for travelling on road and mainly used on closed roads and sites for construction.
Note: tramcar refers to a road vehicle driven by motor, supplied with overhead grid and borne by track.

This standard was proposed by and under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China.
The previous editions of this standard are as follows:
——GB 7258-1987, GB 7258-1997, GB7258-2004 and GB7258-2012.
Introduction
GB 7258 is an important part of national safety technical standard of China, the most basic technical standard for power-driven vehicle operation safety management and accident vehicle inspection such as registration inspection as well as in-use vehicle and power-driven vehicle inspection, and one key technical basis of the compulsory inspections for type approval of new vehicles, factory delivery inspection of new vehicles, and inspection of imported vehicles in China.
It should be noted that:
a) Tramcar belongs to the power-driven vehicle specified in Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, i.e., the road vehicles, but its structure and technical characteristic are obviously different from those of other road vehicles like motor vehicles, wheeled mobile machinery for special purpose, etc., and therefore GB 7258 is not applicable to it;
b) Considering the variety of types and function of wheeled mobile machinery for special purpose, the overall dimensions, axle load and mass parameter, steering performance, brake performance, external lighting and signal devices as well as electrical equipment, vehicle body, safety protection device and the like are not specifically stipulated in GB 7258;
c) Fork-lift truck does not belong to road vehicles; due to its special appearance and structure, it is not suitable for travelling and being used on road.
Technical Specifications for Safety of Power-driven Vehicles Operating on Roads
1 Scope
This standard specifies the basic technical requirements on relevant operation safety of complete vehicle, principal assembly and safety protection device of power-driven vehicle as well as the additional requirements of fire fighting truck, ambulance, rescue vehicle, police vehicle and vehicle for handicapped driving.
This standard is applicable to all the power-driven vehicles operating on roads in China, but not applicable to tramcar and wheeled mobile machinery for special purpose which is not designed and manufactured for travelling on road and mainly used on closed roads and sites for construction.
Note: tramcar refers to a road vehicle driven by motor, supplied with overhead grid and borne by track.
