Specification summary of GB/T 825 as applied to lifting eye bolt: the dimensions the standard fixes, the full size range supplied, and the related designations commonly cross-referenced.
GB/T 825 — Scope
GB/T 825 is "Lifting eye bolts". GB/T 825 is the Chinese national adoption of the same document. The working load limit depends on the angle of pull, which the standard tabulates.
Material, property class, surface finish and packaging are governed by separate documents — ISO 898-1 and ISO 898-2 for mechanical property classes, ISO 4042 for electroplated finishes.
Tolerance & Product Grades
GB/T 825 does not divide lifting eye bolt — gb/t 825 / din 580 (series 037) into product grades. Tolerances are given as limits on the individual dimensions in the table.
Where a general-tolerance class is cited on the drawing instead, it applies to the dimensions not otherwise toleranced.

Equivalent Standards
Where direct equivalents exist (ISO ↔ DIN, ISO ↔ ASME), they are listed on the parent Lifting Eye Bolt — GB/T 825 / DIN 580 (Series 037) page.
Always confirm against the dimensions on this page, since some "equivalent" standards differ in tolerances and head geometry.
Companion Standards
GB/T 825 controls only the geometry of lifting eye bolt — gb/t 825 / din 580 (series 037). The mechanical strength is set by ISO 898-1 (bolts, screws and studs) or ISO 898-2 (nuts); the surface finish is governed by separate finish standards such as ISO 4042 for electroplating. For corrosion testing, the relevant document is ISO 9227 (neutral salt spray).

Parts built to GB T 825 are already in the catalog, so a special is usually a variation on existing tooling rather than a new design — which is what keeps the cost down. Made by cold heading or warm forging.
Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.
