Foreword

The standard replaces GB 4803-1994 "Hygienic standard for polyvinyl chloride

resin used as food container and packaging material", GB 9691-1988 "Hygienic

standard for polyethylene resin used as food packaging material", GB 9692-

1988 "Hygienic standard for polystyrene resin used as food packaging material",

GB 9693-1988 "Hygienic standard for polypropyrene resin used as food

packaging material", GB 13114-1991 "Hygienic standard for polyethylene

terephthalate resin used as food containers and packaging materials", GB

13116-1991 "Hygienic standard for polycarbonate resin used as food containers

and packaging materials", GB 15204-1994 "Hygienic standard of vinylidene

chloride-vinyl chloride copolymer resins for food containers and packaging

materials", the resin part of GB 13115-1991 "Hygienic standard for unsaturated

polyester resin and glass fiber reinforced plastics used as food containers and

packaging materials", GB 16331-1996 "Hygienic standard of nylon 6 resin for

food packaging material", AND the relevant parts on plastic resin in the

"Announcement on the publication of the list of 107 resins available for food

packaging material including polyhexamethylene adipamide" (No.23

announcement in 2011, original Ministry of Health).

This standard, as compared with the above standards and announcements, has

the following main changes.

- MODIFY the standard name into "National Food Safety Standard - Plastic

Resin used in food-contact";

- MODIFY the scope;

- ADD terms and definitions;

- ADD the basic requirements;

- ADD the raw material requirements;

- MODIFY the physical and chemical indicators;

- ADD the general requirements for migration test;

- ADD the marking requirements;

- ADD Appendix A.

National Food Safety Standard

Plastic Resin used in food-contact

1 Scope

This standard applies to the resin and resin blends used for the production of

food contact plastic materials and products, including non-vulcanized

thermoplastic elastomer resin and its blends.

2 Terms and definitions

2.1 Resin

It refers to the macromolecular substances AND the chemically modified natural

macromolecules, also known as polymers synthesized by the polymerization

reaction such as addition polymerization, condensation polymerization and

microbial fermentation polymerization, using the monomers with lower relative

molecular mass and other starting materials as the main materials.

2.2 Resin blends

It refers to the macroscopically uniform solid polymer materials as formed by

physical and/or chemical mixing of two or more polymers having the same or

different chemical structures and physical states, with each polymer being used

as the main structural components or phases of the resin material and its

product, which is also known as polymer blends or polymer alloys.

3 Basic requirements

4 Technical requirements

4.1 Raw material requirements

4.1.1 Raw materials for the production of the food contact plastic resin shall

ensure that under normal and expected conditions of use, it shall not harm to

human health.

4.1.2 The resin allowed to use shall comply with the provisions of Appendix A

and the relevant announcements.

4.2 Sensory requirements

Sensory requirements shall comply with the requirements of Table 1.

4.3 Physical and chemical indicators

Such physical and chemical indicators such as specific migration limits, total

specific migration limits, and maximum residuals of monomers and other

starting materials shall comply with the provisions of Appendix A and the related

announcements.

4.4 Additives

5 Other

5.1 Migration test

5.2 Marking identification

5.2.1 The marking identification shall, in addition to complying with the

requirements of GB 4806.1, be marked of the resin name in the product label,

instruction, or accompanied documents in accordance with Appendix A, AND

the polymer blends shall be marked of the name of all resins.

5.2.2 Each link of the supply chain shall ensure the transfer of safety information,

in order to ensure that the relevant information on the hazardous substances

affecting food safety is traceable.

Appendix A

Plastic resin allowed to use and use requirements

A.1 Table A.1 specifies the plastic resin allowed for use AND the use

requirements.

A.2 The specific migration total limit [SML (T)] and SML (T) grouping number in

Appendix B of GB 9685-2016 apply to this standard.
