On March 7, 2023, the "2023 National Food Safety Standard Initiation Plan (Draft for Comments)" was issued, involving the revision of the basic standards of the "Standard for the Use of Additives for Food Contact Materials and Products (GB 9685-2016)" and the development of three test standards for food contact materials and products.

In accordance with the provisions of the Food Safety Law and its implementing regulations, in order to formulate and revise national food safety standards, the National Health Commission has extensively solicited annual project initiation suggestions from departments, industries, and society. After deliberation and approval by relevant professional committees of the National Food Safety Standards Review Committee, the 2023 National Food Safety Standards Initiation Plan (Draft for Comments) was released on March 7, 2023, giving priority to the formulation and revision of 39 national food safety standards urgently needed by the industry for risk prevention and control, including 12 food additive standards, 1 food related product standard, 3 pollutant standards, and 11 physical and chemical inspection methods and procedures standards, There are 5 standards for microbiological testing methods and procedures, 1 standard for toxicological evaluation methods and procedures, 1 standard for food products, 2 standards for special dietary foods, and 3 standards for food nutritional fortifiers.


Among them, the content related to food contact materials includes the revision of the basic standard of the Standard for the Use of Food Contact Materials and Additives for Products (GB 9685-2016), which is another new development after the issuance of the No. 1 Amendment to the Standard last month for comments. In addition, it also includes the development of three test standards for food contact materials and products.
