**Executive** **Summary**

This report is an UNOFFICIAL translation of the People\'s Republic of
China\'s standard on "Allowable Error in Judging Quality Testing Results
in Feeds" (GB/T 18832 2002). The standard took effect on March 01, 2003.
It stipulates the allowable testing error while monitoring 45 compounds
found in feeds. This applies to the testing results from the quality
inspection and supervision of the nutrition and hygienic index in
compound feeds, concentrated feeds, feed additives, feed premixes, and
individual feed ingredients. This information is important for companies
that are registering new animal feed products, products subject to
testing upon entry into China, or feeds randomly sampled in the Chinese
market. There have not been reports about its impact on trade.

**National Standard of the People's Republic of China**

**GB/T 18823-2002**

**Allowable Error for Judge of Quality Testing Results in Feeds**

Issued on September 06, 2002. Implemented on March 01, 2003

Issued by General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and
Quarantine of the Peoples' Republic of China

**Foreword**

This standard is hereby established based on the summary of requirements
of parallel double-sample relative deviation in the quality testing of
feeds in China in the recent twenty years, referencing to the
regulations on the allowable error for evaluating quality testing
results in feeds in countries with developed feeds industry (Germany,
United States, former USSR), with the consideration of the current
China's analysis techniques, instruments and equipment, as well as the
actual level of analysts.

The standard is basically similar to the relevant standard in other
countries in terms of technical content. Some testing items are added or
subtracted in accordance with the situation of China. In particular the
allowable error for judge of testing results for hygienic index in feeds
is added.

Upon the issuance and implementation of this standard, Annex A of GB/T
5915-1993 and Annex A of GB/T 5916-1993 and relevant regulations in some
industry standard is annulled.

This standard is proposed by the Ministry of Agriculture of People's
Republic of China.

This standard is registered by the National Feed Industry
Standardization Technical Committee.

This standard is drafted by: Huazhong Agriculture University

Major drafters of this standard: Yu Yanhu, Chen Xibin, Qi Desheng, Huang
Bingtang

###### Introduction

The allowable error prescribed in this standard is provided to feed
quality supervision and testing authorities and feed production
facilities for their judgment of the quality testing results of feeds.
There is always some error in testing results of any product. The
product shall be judged as not up to the standard only when the testing
results exceed (lower or higher than) the range of the allowable error
as prescribed in the standard.

The allowable error prescribed in the standard is different from the
accuracy (the repeatability mainly) requirement of the test method.
China's current standard for various test methods for feeds already set
out requirements on the repeatability. This standard is established by
taking comprehensive factors into consideration, and is calculated and
determined based on the double value of allowable error for judge of
testing results in feeds in the currently effective paralleled
double-sample relative deviation feed testing method.

**Allowable error for judging of quality testing results in feeds**

1\. Scope

The standard prescribes the allowable error for judging of testing
results in quality testing in feeds.

The standard applies to the judge of testing results in the quality
inspection and supervision of nutrition and hygienic index in compound
feeds, concentrated feeds, feed additives, premix feeds, and individual
feed ingredients.

2\. Requirement

The allowable error for judge of quality testing results in feeds is
prescribed in Table 1 and Table 2 and Table 3.

**Table 1. Allowable error for judge of normal nutrition index testing
results in feeds**
