The General Classification Standards of Enterprise Accounting Standards are accounting standards expressed in the Extensible Business Report Language (XBRL) and an important part of the Enterprise Accounting Standards. In order to regulate the preparation of financial reports using XBRL and to ensure the quality of financial reports prepared in the XBRL format, the Ministry of Finance has formulated these classification standards in accordance with the “Accounting Law of the People’s Republic of China”, Enterprise Accounting Standards and the national standards of the “Technical Specifications of Extensible Business Report Language (XBRL)” (GB/T 25500 – 2010) series.

  企业会计准则通用分类标准是采用可扩展商业报告语言(XBRL)表述的会计准则,是企业会计准则的重要组成部分。为规范采用XBRL编报财务报告行为,保证以XBRL格式编报的财务报告质量,根据《中华人民共和国会计法》、企业会计准则和《可扩展商业报告语言(XBRL)技术规范》(GB/T25500-2010)系列国家标准,我部制定了本分类标准。

These classification standards have been verified in way of suggestions and opinions sought publicly from the wider community and by relevant international organizations, reviewed by the Accounting Informationalization Committee with a joint board consisted of members from nine ministries and commissions, and are hereby issued. As of January 1, 2011, these standards shall be adopted by some of the Chinese companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States of America and some of the accounting firms with securities and futures qualifications in China. Other listed companies and non-listed large- and medium-sized enterprises are also encouraged to adopt these standards. List of names of those listed companies and accounting firms obliged to adopt these classification standards will be separately announced by the Ministry of Finance.

  本分类标准经过社会广泛征求意见和相关国际组织校验,由九部委组成的会计信息化委员会审核,现予发布,自2011年1月1日起在美国纽约证券交易所上市的我国部分公司、部分证券期货资格会计师事务所施行,鼓励其他上市公司和非上市大中型企业执行。执行本分类标准的上市公司和会计师事务所的名单由我部另发。

It shall be required that all listed companies and accounting firms concerned prepare the real templates of financial reports for year 2010 of their own enterprises or their clients of listed companies and submit the files to the Ministry of Finance by May 31, 2011. Named domain of these classification standards is http://xbrl.mof.gov.cn.
