ICS CCS H National Standard of the People's Republic of China ‌GB 19821-2025 Replaces GB 19821-2005 Discharge standard of water pollutants for fermented alcohol and alcoholic manufacturing industry 酒类制造业水污染物排放标准 Issue date: 2025-12-02 Implementation date: 2027-01-01 Issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China the Standardization Administration of the People's Republic of China Contents Foreword 1 Scope 2 Normative References 3 Terms and Definitions 4 Classification 5 Water Pollutant Monitoring Requirements 6 Specifications for Wastewater Discharge Outlets 7 Implementation and Supervision 1 Scope This standard specifies the control requirements, monitoring requirements, and supervision and management requirements for water pollutant discharge from the fermented alcohol and alcoholic manufacturing industry. This standard applies to the management of water pollutant discharge from existing pollutant discharging units and production facilities in the fermented alcohol and alcoholic manufacturing industry, as well as to the environmental impact assessment of construction projects in the fermented alcohol and alcoholic manufacturing industry, the design of environmental protection facilities, the acceptance of completed environmental protection facilities, the issuance of pollutant discharge permits, and the management of water pollutant discharge after these projects are put into operation. This standard also applies to the management of water pollutant discharge from centralized wastewater treatment facilities serving the fermented alcohol and alcoholic manufacturing industry. The water pollutant discharge control requirements specified in this standard apply to the direct or indirect discharge of water pollutants outside the legal boundaries by pollutant discharging units, production facilities, and centralized wastewater treatment facilities in the fermented alcohol and alcoholic manufacturing industry. 2 Normative References The following documents, or the clauses cited therein, are referenced in this standard. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including all amendments) applies. If other documents are superseded, modified, or revised by new ones, the new documents apply.

Note: "Craft beer" refers to beer produced by small-scale beer production lines, characterized by distinct flavors and produced without adding substances unrelated to adjusting beer flavor during the brewing process. 3.6 wines manufacture The production activity of manufacturing fermented wine containing a certain alcohol content from grapes or grape juice through full or partial alcoholic fermentation. 3.7 huangjiu manufacture The production activity of manufacturing fermented wine from rice, glutinous millet, millet, corn, wheat, water, etc., as main raw materials, through processes such as cooking, addition of Qu (starter), saccharification, fermentation, pressing, filtration, pasteurization, and storage. 3.8 other alcoholic drinks manufacture The production and manufacturing of alcoholic beverages other than fermented alcohol, baijiu, beer, wine, and huangjiu (including lujiu, fruit wines, blended alcoholic beverages, etc.). 3.9 lujiu manufacture The production activity of manufacturing beverage alcohol with specific styles, using huangjiu or baijiu as the base, by adding substances that are both traditional food and Chinese medicinal herbs, specific food raw/auxiliary materials, or substances complying with relevant regulations, through extraction and/or re-distillation processes, or by directly adding useful components extracted from food. 3.10 existing pollutant discharging unit Pollutant discharging units and production facilities in the fermented alcohol and alcoholic manufacturing industry that were built and put into operation before the date of implementation of this standard, or for which the environmental impact assessment document has been approved, as well as centralized wastewater treatment facilities for the fermented alcohol and alcoholic manufacturing industry. 3.11 new pollutant discharging unit Construction projects for the fermented alcohol and alcoholic manufacturing industry or centralized wastewater treatment facilities for the fermented alcohol and alcoholic manufacturing industry that are newly built, reconstructed, or expanded, for which the environmental impact assessment document is approved on or after the date of
