China: National Standard for Rice

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

On October 10, 2018, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) published a new national standard for rice (GB/T 1354-2018), replacing GB/T 1354-2009. The new national standard for rice applies to both domestically produced and imported rice, narrowing grading specifications for each class of rice. Some of the technical terms in this standard reference international standards. GB/T 1354- 2018 will take effect on May 1, 2019. This report provides an unofficial English translation of the standard. Presently, this standard, in the original Mandarin, is not published on a Chinese government website.
