Published: Author: Visits: 1417
On 15 June 2016, Office of Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection has published H. B.K.J. [2016] No. 1102 to seek opinions as regards Technical Requirement for Environmental Labelling Products– Plastic Packaging Products. The consultation ends on 1 July 2016.

The Technical Requirement for Environmental Labeling Products– Plastic Packaging Products sets forth requirements for raw materials, production procedures, degradation properties, biochar, printing, labelling and storage of plastic packaging products. It applies to films, bags and packaging vessels made of plastics and will supersede Technical Requirement for Environmental Labelling Products–Packaging Products (HJ/T 209-2005).

Compared with HJ/T 209-2005, the alternations of new technical requirement are as below:
  • Adjust the standard name and scope;
  • Add requirements for raw materials and production procedures;
  • Adjust requirements for degradation indexes;
  • Delete the previous recyclable packaging;
  • Add requirements for the substrate content and burning of non-degradable products;
  • Add requirements for hazardous substances (such as heavy metals);
  • Adjust product labelling and storage requirements.

It has to be noted that businesses should not use azodyes and phthalates set forth in GB/T 21928-2008 during the production of plastic packaging products. Lead, cadmium, mercury. hexalevant chromium and its compounds, PBBs, PBDEs and solvent residues shall comply with requirements of GB/T 10004. C&K Testing advises businesses to deal with due care.
