[X] Codex Alimentarius Commission (e.g. title or serial number of Codex standard or related text) CAC: The specification of acetic acid, glacial JECFA (2006)
[ ] World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) (e.g. Terrestrial or Aquatic Animal Health Code, chapter number)
[ ] International Plant Protection Convention (e.g. ISPM number)
[ ] None
Does this proposed regulation conform to the relevant international standard?
[ ] Yes [X] No
If no, describe, whenever possible, how and why it deviates from the international standard: The different indexes of this standard are as follow: In this standard, the assay of acetic acid content ≥ 99.8%, evaporation residue ≤ 0.005%, Solidification point ≥ 16.2°C, heavy metal (Pb) ≤ 2 mg/kg; readily potassium permanganate test ≥ 180min. This standard is consistent with the actual condition of Chinese products.
