Baier Testing Supports the Implementation of National Standards and Safeguards Food Safety

GB/T 10781.10-2024 Requirements for the Quality of Baijiu - Part 10: Laobaiganxiangxing Baijiu will come into effect on December 1st, 2025, replacing the current standard GB/T 20825-2007. As one of the revising units, Baier Testing has always regarded ensuring food safety as its core mission. Relying on years of accumulated professional knowledge and technical strength, it helps China's alcohol safety move towards standardization and normalization.
 
The new standard has further clarified the uniqueness of Laobaiganxiangxing Baijiu by limiting production processes and refining indicators, which helps combat the practice in the market where liquid-state or solid-liquid blended Baijiu is passed off as pure grain solid-state products.
 
As an authoritative third-party testing institution, our company, backed by the state-authoritatively recognized CNAS, CMA, and CATL qualifications, possesses comprehensive technical capability for testing all types of alcoholic beverages from raw materials to finished products.
 
Raw Material Monitoring
Our company can determine testing indicators such as moisture content, mycotoxins, starch content, protein, fat, pesticide residues, and heavy metals in brewing raw materials, helping customers identify high-quality and inferior raw materials and ensuring the safety of raw material supply.
 
Process Control
Our company can conduct hazard analysis on the production process, provide guidance on the control of Critical Control Points (CCPs), and carry out professional testing on production environments, equipment and facilities, packaging materials, semi-finished products in the processing stage, etc., so as to timely identify and eliminate potential food safety risks.
 
Product quality monitoring
Our company is capable of testing all required indicators specified in the technical requirements of this standard, including sensory requirements, physical and chemical requirements, and net content. We provide comprehensive product quality monitoring services, realize regular monitoring of product quality, ensure product performance, safety and compliance, and reduce risks.
