How this CNFans Spreadsheet reads tags: sources, dates and limits
Every clause on this site comes from an official full text, read on a stated day. Here is how the reading was done, which sources were used and what the tool does with your answers.
Transcribing tags for this guide
Every standard on this site was read in its official full text on the national standards full-text system on 19 October 2026. The viewer shows each page as an image, so we read the pages one by one and copied the clauses we quote. The status, publication date, in-force date and any note come from the same official record.
Laws and regulations were read on official government websites on the same day. Register entry points were opened and their own instructions read; where a register warns about something, such as case-sensitive numbers, that warning is quoted rather than guessed.
We planned to transcribe twenty or more real tags from public listings. In our sample of 40 listings, none showed a readable Chinese label, so every sample tag on this site is a drawing of ours with placeholder or teaching values.
Sources, with the date each was read
The documents behind the guide are few and all public. Seven national standards, three legal texts, three national registers and three certification registers, each opened on 19 October 2026.
CNFans facts come from two dated sources only: an archive of its pages captured 23 August 2026, plus the notice cnfans.com displayed on the day of writing. Nothing undated about CNFans is used.
Source dates belong to the specific material reviewed. A later editorial change does not imply that every external source has been rechecked or that this site monitors updates continuously.
The registers opened that day were the national full-text system, the industry standards service, the enterprise standards platform, the OEKO-TEX Label Check, the list of certificate holders for the recycled and organic content standards, and the GOTS supplier database. None asked us to log in before showing its search.

How the Declaration stack decides each layer
The Declaration stack follows a handful of fixed rules when it sorts what you transcribe. The bottom layer lights when a printed tag carries a safety class, partly when a class is missing or the tag is blank. Body letters and infant wording are explained there too.
The middle layer counts the grade and the standard prefix, half each, and warns when a grade appears with no standard to define it. The top layer lights for any certificate mark and names the register to check.
It runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you pick is stored or sent, and it reads no links or images. It never judges whether a tag is genuine.
Layer rules in the tool
| Layer | Lights when | Partly when |
|---|---|---|
| Bottom | printed tag with a class | class missing, or blank tag |
| Middle | grade and prefix both | only one of them |
| Top | any certificate mark | never |
What makes a good Spreadsheet site, this one included
A product catalog guide is worth using when four things hold. Its sources are named and dated. Its category links open live shelves, not dead pages. It says when it was last updated. And it says how it makes money.
Judge a guide by identifiable sources, dated observations, clear limits and working destinations. Our category paths are recorded, but current product availability and the contents of external pages still need checking.
If any of those stops being true, for example a shelf link that no longer opens, it is a fair reason to trust the site less, and a reason to write to us.
Revision log for this guide
Last updated 19 October 2026. The guide is new; its first version went up on that date with every page written from the sources listed above.
Each later change will be logged here with its date: a standard revised, a register moved, cnfans.com returning, or a correction sent in by a reader. Small wording fixes are not logged.
If a page and this log disagree, trust the page's own dates, and tell us.
No earlier draft of the guide was ever published, so there is no older version of any page to compare against.
