GB/T 33129-2016

This standard specifies the technical requirements for packaging materials, pre-cooling methods, temperature and humidity control, and loading/unloading procedures during the cold chain transport of fresh fruits and vegetables. It is applied by producers, logistics companies, and retailers in China to maintain product quality, reduce spoilage, and ensure food safety throughout the distribution process. The standard is particularly relevant for perishable produce moving through domestic supply chains, including from farms to wholesale markets or supermarkets.
