China: Draft Standards for Nuts and Kernels of Almonds

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CH2024-0088
The Standardization Administration of China (SAC) published the draft "Standards for Nuts and Kernels of Almonds" for comment. The standards will replace the existing national standard on almond kernels (GB/T 30761-2014) and specify the quality grading, inspection methods, inspection rules, packaging, labeling, storage, and transportation of nuts and almond kernels. The deadline for public comments to SAC is July 27, 2024. Based on previous experience, PRC officials may not notify the draft to the WTO as it is not considered a mandatory standard. This report contains an unofficial translation of the draft standard with links and related guidance to access and submit comments on the SAC platform.
