Summary: With the September 2 enforcement deadline approaching, 48% of silicone factories have completed GB 4806.16-2025 compliance upgrades; small producers face intensified exit risks. Details: Industry data shows 48% of manufacturers have now finished full compliance upgrades (formula, testing, clean workshops), up from 45% last week. The standard tightens limits on lead (≤1 mg/kg), arsenic (≤0.5 mg/kg), VOC (≤10 mg/kg), and adds 50% ethanol migration testing for high-fat food contact. Non-compliant products will be banned domestically and for export. Hongye Silicone achieved full compliance 18 months ago, with 100,000-level clean workshops and all food-grade lines certified to the new standard.
