1 Scope

GB 7300.805-2025 is the Chinese national standard on feed additives - part 8: preservatives, mildew preventives and acidity regulators - lactic acid, in the field of agriculture. It carries no /T suffix, which in the Chinese system means compliance is mandatory: a product or a practice within its scope has to meet it to be lawfully made, sold or carried out in China. It was issued on 5 October 2025 by the State Administration for Market Regulation; Standardization Administration of China, and takes effect on 1 November 2026. Classification: ICS 65.120, CCS B46. This page is published from the official record of the standard held by the Chinese standards administration: the identification, the dates, the classification and the issuing body are taken from there. The clause text, the tables and the numeric limits are in the document itself, which is delivered complete in English translation.

This document provides the chemical name, molecular formula, relative molecular mass, and structural formula of lactic acid, and specifies the technical requirements for lactic acid as a feed additive.
