Details:
GB 4806.16-2025, the most stringent update to China’s food-grade silicone standard in a decade, replaces the 2016 version and introduces comprehensive new requirements for raw material purity, heavy metal limits, volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, and migration testing under high-temperature and acidic conditions. The standard mandates that all food contact silicone products, including baby bottle nipples, food molds, kitchenware, and medical silicone, must pass strict testing for lead, mercury, arsenic, and other harmful substances, with VOC emissions capped at 10 mg/kg. Non-compliant products will be banned from domestic sales and export after the enforcement date. Hongye Silicone, as a key supplier of food-grade liquid silicone rubber, accelerated compliance preparations in early 2025. The company upgraded its production workshop to Class 100,000 cleanroom standards, implemented full-process quality control from raw material procurement to finished product testing, and completed all required tests at national accredited laboratories by April 2026. All Hongye food-grade silicone products, including LSR for baby products, food mold silicone, and medical contact silicone, have obtained GB 4806.16-2025 compliance certificates, positioning the company as a trusted partner for global food and medical clients.
