Business Challenges:
What are the control requirements for packaging products in the "Limits of heavy metals and other specific substances in express packaging"?
What are the requirements in the standards that different express packaging products need to meet?
Service Background:
On November 27, 2023, China's first mandatory national standard on express packaging, "Limits of heavy metals and other specific substances in express packaging" (GB 43352-2023), was released and officially implemented on June 1, 2024.The standards respectively target paper, plastic, textile fiber, and composite material express packaging products, proposing overall and individual limit requirements for heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and chromium. They specify specific substance limit requirements for solvent residues, bisphenol A, and phthalates, and provide testing methods and sampling preparation requirements, providing technical basis for the production and testing of green express packaging.
Service Content:
NG28 can provide testing services for heavy metals and specific substances in paper, plastic, and textile fiber express packaging to enterprises in accordance with the mandatory national standard "Limits of heavy metals and other specific substances in express packaging" (GB43352-2023).
