3 Product classification and labeling
3.1 Product classification
According to use object, the product is classified into adult (ordinary, concentrated) type and children (ordinary, concentrated) type.
3.2 Product labeling
See Table 1 for product labeling method.
?
Table 1 Product Labeling Method
Product type Adult Children
Ordinary type Concentrated type Ordinary type Concentrated type
Labeling method GB/T 34857-2017 GB/T 34857-2017 (concentrated type) GB/T 34857-2017 (children type) GB/T 34857-2017 (concentrated children type)
Note: the standard year number may be omitted in the label. Those not marked with year number are required to implement the current effective standards; the product markings implemented according to other standards are labeled according to the standards implemented. Products that are described as possessing concentration characteristics in the name or directions for use are concentrated type (such as being described by concentrated, highly-concentrated, enriched, etc.), otherwise they are ordinary type.
