1. Product Standards
- GB/T 20808-2011 "Facial Tissues": Serving as the core benchmark for facial tissues in my country, this standard comprehensively defines product classifications, requirements, testing methods, inspection rules, and specifications for labeling, packaging, transportation, and storage. Regarding paper strength, it details quantitative metrics such as the cross-machine direction (CD) tensile index and machine direction (MD) wet tensile strength to ensure the paper is tough and resistant to tearing during use. It also sets standards for softness, ensuring a delicate, gentle feel suitable for daily wiping needs.
- GB/T 24455-2009 "Hand Towels": Tailored specifically for hand-drying purposes, this standard focuses on regulating water absorption and strength characteristics. Key indicators-such as water absorption time and capacity-precisely measure the product's ability to quickly dry hands, meeting the user's need for a dry, comfortable feel after washing.
2. Production Process Standards
- Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP): Facial tissue production must strictly adhere to GMP guidelines. Manufacturing facilities must be kept clean and well-ventilated, with regular cleaning and disinfection of equipment to eliminate unsanitary areas where bacteria, mold, or other harmful substances could breed. Production personnel must also maintain strict hygiene protocols, wearing clean uniforms, caps, and masks to prevent product contamination caused by human factors, thereby establishing a robust hygiene defense at the source.
- Quality Control Systems (e.g., ISO 9001): Many manufacturers implement quality control systems like ISO 9001 to ensure consistent product quality. This involves rigorous oversight across the entire process: from controlling raw material procurement by carefully selecting and verifying high-quality pulp; to meticulously managing every step of production; and finally, conducting strict inspections of finished products. Through this coordinated, multi-stage approach, manufacturers ensure that every batch of tissues meets the relevant standards.
3. Labeling and Packaging Standards
Packaging labels for facial tissues must comply with regulations and clearly display key information-such as product name, specifications, applicable standards, date of manufacture, shelf life, main ingredients, and the manufacturer's name and address-with special additives (e.g., fragrances, moisturizing agents) explicitly declared. Packaging materials must ensure both hygiene and a secure seal to prevent external contamination during transport and storage, thereby preserving the product's original quality.
