Application Summary AI generated

GB 19965-2005 specifies the maximum allowable fluoride content in brick tea, a compressed tea product commonly consumed in regions of China, particularly among ethnic minority groups in Tibet, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang. It is applied to ensure that brick tea sold in the domestic market does not exceed the safety limit for fluoride, which can cause skeletal fluorosis with long-term excessive intake. The standard is used by tea producers, quality inspection agencies, and health regulators to control fluoride levels during production and to certify compliance for retail distribution.
