GB/T 48084-2026General rule for the quality of paocai (English PDF)

GB/T 48084-2026 is the English-translated version of 泡菜质量通则.

This standard sets out a general rule for the quality of paocai, the Chinese pickled vegetable product made by fermentation in brine. Paocai is produced at industrial scale as well as in homes, and a general quality rule helps establish a common understanding of how product quality is described and judged.

Its users include pickled vegetable manufacturers, food quality control and inspection staff, testing laboratories, retailers and procurement teams, and exporters or importers handling Chinese fermented vegetables. Producers can use it when preparing product specifications, and buyers can refer to it when setting quality expectations with suppliers.

The document was issued on 28 August 2026 and takes effect on 1 March 2028, leaving a long transition period for the industry. It is a recommended national standard (GB/T), so it is voluntary unless a contract, supply agreement or other binding document makes it mandatory for a given transaction.
