Scope
The standard covers detergents used directly for food cleaning and detergents for tableware and food-contact tools, equipment, packaging, and containers. Type A covers detergents directly used for food cleaning; Type B covers dishware and other food-contact cleaning uses.
Exact limit and units
| Metal | Matrix | Limit | Unit | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| tAs | Type A detergent directly used for food cleaning | 3.0 | mg/kg | product as placed on the market |
| tAs | Type B detergent for tableware and food-contact articles | 5.0 | mg/kg | product as placed on the market |
How tested
The table lists GB/T 30797 as the test method for total arsenic. The grouped heavy-metals line lists GB/T 30799 but is not loaded as a lead row because the source states combined heavy metals calculated as Pb.
Enforcement posture
The document is a Chinese national food safety standard for detergent products in the stated scope.
History of changes
The local copy identifies GB 14930.1-2022 as the 2022 national food safety standard for detergents.
How it compares
The Type A arsenic ceiling is lower than the Type B ceiling because Type A products directly contact food during cleaning.
