Kitchen knives are one of the essential tools in the kitchen, used to handle various ingredients. Common kitchen knives include chef knives, bread knives, peelers, etc. The export of kitchen knives to Germany requires LFGB testing, which includes but is not limited to sensory testing, chemical composition testing, and migration testing. These testing projects aim to ensure that knives do not release harmful substances when in contact with food, thereby ensuring food safety.

The German LFGB certification testing project for kitchen knives mainly includes the following items:

1. Preliminary inspection of samples and materials: First, conduct a preliminary inspection of the samples to evaluate whether they meet the basic requirements of LFGB certification.

2. Chemical composition testing: Detect the chemical composition of cutting tools to ensure they are free of harmful substances and ensure safety when in contact with food.

3. Migration test: Simulate the conditions under which the cutting tool comes into contact with food, and test whether the substances in the cutting tool will migrate into the food to ensure food safety.

In terms of requirements, generally speaking, it is necessary to ensure that:

1. The material of the cutting tool should comply with LFGB standards and not contain toxic substances.

2. During the process of cutting tools coming into contact with food, no substances should migrate into the food.


Application process for kitchen knives in Germany LFGB:

1. Preparation stage: Prepare necessary materials such as product related materials, production process flow, raw material information, and product testing reports.

2. The applicant shall provide sample information to the testing institution (or directly provide samples).

3. The testing agency evaluates the samples, testing standards, and testing items, and provides cost information.

4. After acceptance, the applicant shall provide samples for testing, and the testing agency shall conduct the test according to the test standards.

5. After passing the test, issue the LFGB test report.
