SG 69/24
China has issued new mandatory food contact material standards for adhesives and solvent residues.
In March 2024, China’s National Health Commission and State Administration for Market Regulation 宣布 the publication of 47 national food safety standards. Among this set were two important standards for food contact materials (FCM) and articles:
- GB 4806.15-2024 ‘National food safety standard: Adhesives for food contact materials and products’
- GB 31604.60-2024 ‘National food safety standard: Determination of solvent residues in food contact materials and products’, a standard that details the methodology for analyzing 25 organic solvents in food contact composite materials and products
GB 4806.15-2024 is the nation’s first standard for food contact adhesives. It:
- Applies to adhesives that are in direct and those that are not in direct contact with food
- 详细说明感官要求(表1)
- Sets out general chemical specifications (Table 2, see 表一个 below)
- Specifies the positive list of 33 substances/starting materials for adhesives in direct contact with food (Appendix A) and 341 substances/starting materials for adhesives in indirect food contact (Appendix B)
- Permits additives used in adhesives for direct contact with food to be used in adhesives for indirect food contact
- Requires adhesive products to indicate the product category (adhesives for direct or indirect contact with food) on the label
GB 4806.15-2024 ‘National food safety standard: Adhesives for food contact materials and products’, Table 2 ‘General physical and chemical indicators’ (per standard 文本)

| 4 | Total specific migration of primary aromatic amines (PAA)² | 未检测到(ND) (检测限= 0.1毫克/公斤) | GB 31604.52 |
¹Applies to adhesive layer in direct contact with food. Adhesive layers that are indirect contact with food are assessed against national standards for safety requirements for the layer that is in direct contact with food
²Applies to adhesives containing aromatic urethanes or other adhesives that may produce PAA. The specific migration for PAA is conducted on finished goods. ND applies to sum of PAA that are not specified in Appendices A or B of GB 4806.15-2024、GB 9685及相关公告
