EN — What is GB/T 31217-2014? China's voluntary national standard for industrially produced complete cat food. 2014.09.03 Posted 2015.03.08 Implemented. It sets minima (or maxima) for nutrients on a dry-matter basis, by life stage (juvenile / pregnant / lactating cat food vs adult cat food).
Key physical & chemical indicators (dry-matter basis):
Crude protein ≥28.0 ≥25.0(juvenile/pregnant/lactating vs adult)Crude fat ≥9.0 ≥9.0Calcium ≥1.0 ≥0.6Total phosphorus ≥ 0.8 ≥0.5- Water-soluble chloride (as Cl⁻): ≥0.3% (both life stages)
Taurinerequirement: dry food also requires taurine;≥0.2 (wet food)for wet food. Cat food sets no vitamin A / arginine / methionine requirements.
Moisture classes: dry <14.0%, semi-moist 14.0–60.0%, wet ≥60.0%. Hygiene indicators match the dog-food standard (fluorine ≤150 mg/kg, lead ≤5 mg/kg, aflatoxin B₁ ≤10 µg/kg, etc.).
中文 — GB/T 31217-2014 是什么？ 中国全价宠物食品（猫粮）推荐性国家标准。2014.09.03 Posted 2015.03.08 Implemented。按干物质基础、不同生活阶段（动物籽/怀孕乳母猫粮 vs 成年猫粮）设指标。
主要理化指标（干物质基础）：Crude protein ≥28.0 ≥25.0、Crude fat ≥9.0 ≥9.0、Calcium ≥1.0 ≥0.6、Total phosphorus ≥ 0.8 ≥0.5、水溶性氯（以 Cl⁻计）≥0.3%、Taurine 类必需牛瑛酸（湿粮 ≥0.2 (wet food)）。猫粮未对维生素 A、精氨酸、甲硫氨酸设要求。
