The complete process and key points for processing the China GB4806 testing report for disposable packaging containers in 2026, combined with the latest regulations and industry practices, are summarized as follows:
1、 Scope of application for testing
1. Product type
Plastic: Disposable lunch boxes, beverage cups, straws, cling film (including biodegradable PLA material)
Paper types: paper cups, paper bowls, hamburger packaging paper (fluorescent whitening agents and ink migration need to be tested)
Composite materials: aluminum-plastic packaging bags, laminated paper boxes (such as instant noodle buckets)
New addition in 2026: Plant fiber molded containers (such as sugarcane pulp meal boxes) require additional testing for pesticide residues
2. Testing standards
Basic standard: GB4806.1-2016 (General Safety Requirements)
Material Specialty:
Plastic: GB4806.7-2016
Paper products: GB4806.8-2016
Additional requirements for 2026: Biodegradable materials must comply with the "GB/T 38082-2026 Biodegradable Performance Standard"
2、 Testing Core Projects (Updated in 2026)
1. Required inspection items
Total migration amount (simulated immersion in food simulants such as water, acetic acid, alcohol, etc.)
Heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic migration, with strict limits up to 0.01mg/kg)
Sensory testing (odor, staining, precipitation)
2. Special project for high-risk substances
Plastics: Phthalates (6P), Primary Aromatic Amines (PAAs)
Paper: Pentachlorophenol, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)
New additions in 2026: Release of microplastics (to be detected by ICP-MS)
3. Special function testing
Antibacterial coatings (such as nano silver) require cytotoxicity testing
Microwave Applicability (Products labeled as "Microwave Capable" require additional testing)
3、 Process and Timeframe for Handling
1. Preparation for inspection
Sample requirement: 3-5 unused new products (with complete packaging)
List of Documents:
Product Material Description (such as PP, PET, etc.)
Production process flow chart (with emphasis on the coating/printing layer in contact with food)
2. Selection of testing institutions
Need to pass CMA/CNAS dual certification laboratory (Dezewei Testing CNAS registration number: L8083)
New regulations in 2026: Laboratories need to register for the "Green Testing Channel" qualification (urgent 5 working days)
3. Cost and Cycle
Routine testing: Approximately 1000-3000 yuan (depending on the material and number of items), 5-7 working days
Urgent service: 3-5 working days (cost+50%)
4、 Compliance Labeling and Market Access
1. Label requirements
Must indicate:
The words' for food contact use '
Temperature range for use (e.g. "-20 ℃~120 ℃")
New in 2026: QR code link to electronic testing report
2. Requirements for e-commerce platforms
Tmall, JD.com, etc. require uploading GB4806 testing report (original PDF)
Cross border e-commerce import: A Chinese version of the report must be provided and stamped with the laboratory saddle seal
5、 Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Q: How to handle the export to domestic sales of products?
A: Full retesting according to GB4806 is required, and EU 1935/2004 or US FDA reports cannot be directly replaced.
Q: What is the validity period of the test report?
A: Usually 2 years, but if there are changes in materials/processes, retesting is required.
