Most current GB analytical methods for infant formulas are:
Either modified from or replacing existing methods
Reviewed and updated every 5 years
•
The methods are assigned (after evaluating applications) with government
budget, developed and have to be submitted by Chinese government labs
through a special government channel for guaranteed objectiveness and
fairness.
•
Submitted methods will be evaluated by a group of experts (same as
ERP), and finally approved by an administrative authority body.

•
Submitted methods should be scientifically sound with literature sources;
not conflict, cross and overlap with other current regulations and GBs.
•
Submitted methods should be compared to national and international
related standard methods; similarity and differences should be detailed. If
differences exist, a scientific explanation is needed.
•
If the method is innovative, 3 qualified labs (other than submitter) are
needed for the validation;
•
If the method is the same level as the international standard, 1 lab is
needed for the validation;
•
If the method is a modification from an international standard, at least 1
more lab (other than the submitter) is needed for the validation.
