GB 7300.801-2019 is a current mandatory Chinese national standard for Feed additives—Part 8：Preservatives and acidity regulators—Sodium bicarbonate. It appears in the Food compliance cluster with a product safety focus and has an implementation date of Jul 1, 2020.
Applicability depends on product scope, certification route, competent authority notices and transition rules. Requst for the translation or verify source before using this record in a compliance decision.
Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to feed additive sodium bicarbonate produced via natural alkali, soda ash, and ammonium bicarbonate methods. It is mandatory for manufacturers producing this specific feed additive for the Chinese market. It does not cover other types of preservatives or acidity regulators outside of sodium bicarbonate. The GB 7300 series regulates various feed additives.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies the physical appearance and chemical identification requirements for sodium bicarbonate. It must appear as a white crystalline powder, odorless, and slowly decomposing in moist air. Identification tests must confirm the presence of sodium and bicarbonate ions. Core technical indicators include limits for total alkali content, loss on drying, and pH value. Manufacturers must ensure their products meet these strict chemical purity thresholds. Safety parameters are rigorously controlled, setting maximum limits for heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, and cadmium. Additionally, the standard restricts the release of ammonium salts during heating. Compliance with these limits is mandatory under Chapters 4, 5, and 6.
Testing methods
Testing procedures include sensory evaluation and chemical identification using flame tests and precipitation reactions. Total alkali content is determined via acid-base titration using hydrochloric acid standard solutions. Loss on drying is measured using a vacuum drying oven at specific temperatures. Heavy metal content (arsenic, lead, cadmium) is evaluated according to referenced national standards such as GB 5009.74 and GB/T 13079-2006. Manufacturers must follow these exact testing protocols for factory and type inspections.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 7300.801-2019?
It regulates feed additive sodium bicarbonate used as a preservative, anti-mold agent, and acidity regulator, specifically those produced by natural alkali, soda ash, and ammonium bicarbonate methods.
Are there mandatory chapters in this standard?
Yes, Chapters 1, 4, 5, and 6 are mandatory, covering scope, technical requirements, testing methods, and inspection rules. Other chapters are recommended.
What are the key inspection rules for batch acceptance?
Factory inspections must cover total alkali, loss on drying, pH, arsenic, heavy metals, and ammonium salts. If any indicator fails, a double sampling retest is allowed, except for microbial indicators. Type inspections must be conducted at least every six months.
