China: National Standard Soil Environmental Quality Risk Control Standard for Soil Contamination of Agricultural Land
The National Standard Soil Environment Quality Risk Control Standard for Soil Contamination of Agricultural Land (Trial Edition) (GB15618-2018) was published jointly by the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) and Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) on June 22, 2018 and it entered into force on August 1, 2018. The standard regulates the definitions, risk control limits, and supervision requirements for soil contamination of agricultural land. This report provides an unofficial translation of the published standard. Stakeholders should conduct their own review of the regulation. This report is being published and shared by FAS China now owing to its relevance to the recent WTO notification on Code of Practice for Prevention and Reduction of Lead Contamination in Foods.
