GB/T 3405-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering benzene made from catalytic reformate, ethylene cracking by-product aromatics or toluene disproportionation and sold into organic synthesis — the grades and their purity, the toluene, non-aromatic hydrocarbon and 1,4-dioxane content, the crystallisation point and the colour, the thiophene, sulfur, nitrogen, chlorine and water limits that a downstream catalyst cannot tolerate, the bromine index, the inspection rules, and the packaging, storage and delivery acceptance. The 2025 edition turns the thiophene figure for petroleum benzene-535 from a reported value into a limit and adds a chlorine content requirement. Issued on 28 February 2025, it has been in force since 1 September 2025, replacing GB/T 3405-2011.
