Guide to Obtaining GB 4806 Reports for Condiment Bottles (Food Contact Materials)
Based on their primary materials, condiment bottles fall into four categories: glass, plastic (PET/PE/PP), ceramic, and metal (tinplate/aluminum). While different materials require testing against specific GB 4806 standards, the compliance process is essentially the same. I. Key Standard Correspondences
| Material | Primary Standard | Supplementary Standard |
| Glass | GB 4806.5 | GB 4806.1 (General safety requirements) |
| Plastic | GB 4806.6/7 + GB 4806.8 | GB 9685 (List of additives) |
| Ceramic | GB 4806.4 | GB 4806.1 |
| Metal (Tinplate/Aluminum) | GB 4806.9 | GB 4806.10 (Internal coating) |
II. Core Testing Items
Plastic bottles: Overall migration, specific migration (aromatic amines, phenols, heavy metals), discoloration test, additive compliance
Glass bottles: Leaching levels of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium
Ceramic bottles: Leaching levels of lead and cadmium (critical focus; high risk associated with ceramic glazes)
Metal bottles: Heavy metal migration + migration of free formaldehyde and phenols from internal coatings
III. Application Process
1. Material confirmation → 2. Laboratory selection → 3. Sample submission + formula declaration → 4. Testing (5–7 working days) → 5. Report issuance + label compliance check → 6. Archiving
IV. Practical Considerations
Acidic foods (e.g., soy sauce/vinegar): Requires additional migration testing using acidic food simulants
Alcohol- or oil-based seasonings: Requires testing using alcohol or oil food simulants
Ceramic liners: Priority testing recommended; heavy metal leaching is a frequent issue in historical spot checks
Mandatory label markings: "For food contact use," material type, applicable temperature range, "Not microwave-safe" (if applicable)
Required manufacturer qualification: SC Food Production License (for bottle manufacturing)
V. Cost and Timeline Reference
| Material | Cost Range (RMB) | Timeline
| Glass bottles | 800 – 1,500 | 5–7 working days
