This document is developed in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2020 Directives for standardization - Part 1: Rules for the structure and drafting of standardizing documents.
This document replaces GB/T 28796-2012 Craft crystal decoration. In addition to structural adjustments and editorial changes, the following main technical changes have been made with respect to GB/T 28796-2012:
a) “Product classification” and “Quartz glass” are deleted from “1 Scope” (see Clause 1; Clause 1 in Edition 2012);
b) "GB/T 16552 Gems - Nomenclature and "GB/T 7962.12 Test methods of colorless optical glass - Part 12: Spectral internal transmittance" are deleted from "2 Normative references" (see Clause 2; Clause 2 in Edition 2012);
c) some of the terms and definitions involved hereof are modified (see 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4; 3.1, 3.2, 3.3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 in Edition 2012);
d) “Classification” is deleted (see Clause 4 in Edition 2012);
e) the graduation indexes are deleted from the requirements and only the minimum quality requirements are specified (see 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3; 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 in Edition 2012);
f) “Test method II” for surface roughness is deleted (see 6.2.1.3 in Edition 2012);
g) the test method for transmittance is modified (see 5.2.2.1, 5.2.2.2 and 5.2.2.3; 6.2.2 in Edition 2012);
h) the test method for limit of harmful substance is modified (see 5.5; 6.5 in Edition 2012);
i) the sampling rules are modified and the provision of "1% of sampling rate" (see 7.1.2 in Edition 2012);
j) the item "surface roughness" is deleted from the end-of-manufacturing inspection (see 6.1.3; 7.1.3 in Edition 2012);
k) the classification of type inspection items is added (see 6.2.4);
l) the judgment rules are modified (see 6.3; 7.3 in Edition 2012).
