GB 7300.803-2025 is an upcoming mandatory Chinese national standard for Feed additives—Part 8: Preservatives ,mildew preventives and acidity regulators—Ammonium chloride. It appears in the Food compliance cluster with a product safety focus and has an implementation date of Jul 1, 2026.
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 ammonium chloride produced via the combined alkali process, ion exchange method, or recrystallization from industrial or agricultural grades. It is mandatory for manufacturers producing ammonium chloride for animal feed in China. It does not apply to ammonium chloride intended for non-feed industrial applications.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies the physical and chemical requirements for ammonium chloride. Appearance must be white crystalline granules or powder. Key physicochemical parameters include ammonium chloride content, drying loss, ignition residue, pH value, and clarity. Furthermore, the standard sets strict hygiene indicators for heavy metals, including limits for lead, total arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and barium salts. Compliance with both physicochemical and hygiene limits is essential for market access.
Testing methods
Testing involves identification of chloride and ammonium ions. The primary method for determining ammonium chloride content is the distillation method (arbitration method), with the formaldehyde method as an alternative. Heavy metal analysis follows various GB/T standards, such as GB/T 13080 for lead and GB/T 13079 for total arsenic.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 7300.803-2025?
It regulates feed additive ammonium chloride used as a preservative, mildew preventive, and acidity regulator in animal feed.
What are the key hygiene limits specified?
The standard sets maximum limits for heavy metals like lead (≤2 mg/kg), total arsenic (≤2 mg/kg), and cadmium (≤1 mg/kg).
What is the arbitration method for content determination?
The distillation method is specified as the arbitration method for determining the exact ammonium chloride content.
