China’s Coating And Silicone Food-Contact Standards Took Effect On 2 September

Correction, 20 October 2026. This article has been narrowed to the implementation dates and subjects confirmed by the official standards catalogue. Previously stated numerical limits and technical changes have been removed because the originating standard texts were not verified for this review.

China's GB 4806.10-2025 and GB 4806.16-2025 took effect on 2 September 2026. Both were published on 2 September 2025, according to the National Digital Standards Library.

Two Material-Specific Standards

The official record for GB 4806.10-2025 identifies the standard for food-contact coatings and coated layers. The record for GB 4806.16-2025 identifies silicone-rubber food-contact materials and articles.

The catalogue records establish the subjects and publication and implementation dates. They do not reproduce the technical clauses, numerical limits or test conditions. This update therefore does not state those requirements or treat a catalogue entry as proof of a particular product's conformity.
