Taiwan draft feed-import phosphate heavy-metal limits

Taiwan's draft import inspection table proposes heavy metal limits for feed use calcium phosphates, including defluorinated calcium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate.

Scope

The draft table covers feed-use defluorinated calcium phosphate, feed-use calcium phosphates, and dicalcium phosphate import inspection items.

Exact limit and units

MetalMatrixLimitUnitBasis
lead (Pb)Feed-use calcium phosphate import-inspection products50ppmas imported
total arsenic (tAs)Feed-use calcium phosphate import-inspection products12ppmas imported
cadmium (Cd)Feed-use calcium phosphate import-inspection products10ppmas imported
total mercury (tHg)Feed-use calcium phosphate import-inspection products0.5ppmas imported

How tested

The visible table lists the heavy-metal inspection items and limits but does not provide detailed analytical methods in the excerpt.

Enforcement posture

The document is marked as a draft import-inspection regulation; rows are retained as draft guidance and not as implemented legal limits.

History of changes

The local copy is from the Executive Yuan Gazette, volume 23, issue 76, dated 27 April 2017.

How it compares

The Taiwan draft is narrow: it applies to feed-use phosphate import products rather than all compound feeds.
