If dishes come into contact with food, they need to undergo GB4806 food contact material testing and certification in China. GB4806 is a national food safety standard in China, which has clear regulations on the general safety requirements for food contact materials and products. Conducting GB4806 testing and certification can ensure that food contact materials such as bowls and dishes do not contain harmful substances and comply with national food safety standards.

As a food contact material, the items in China's GB4806 testing include but are not limited to evaporation residue, potassium permanganate consumption, heavy metals (calculated as lead), decolorization tests, etc. In addition, it may also include dissolution tests for heavy metals, such as residual detection of toxic and harmful monomers, and microbial detection.


The testing process for Chinese GB4806 food contact materials for bowls and dishes is roughly as follows:

1. Consultation and application: Contact the testing agency, inquire about relevant testing matters, and submit a testing application.

2. Sample preparation: According to the requirements of the testing agency, prepare a certain number of dish samples. The sample should be representative and reflect the overall situation of the product.

3. Fill out the application form: Fill out the application form in detail, including product information, materials, usage, etc., and attach product samples.

4. Testing agency receives samples: After receiving the samples, the testing agency conducts a preliminary inspection to confirm that the samples meet the testing requirements.

5. Payment of testing fees: Pay the corresponding testing fees according to the charging standards of the testing institution.

6. Implementation of testing: The testing agency conducts testing on bowl and dish samples in accordance with the GB4806 standard, including testing of various physical and chemical indicators and microbial indicators.

7. Result evaluation and report preparation: The testing agency evaluates the testing results and prepares the testing report. If the dishes meet the GB4806 standard, corresponding testing and certification certificates will be issued.

8. Report and certificate collection: After receiving the testing report and certification certificate, carefully check the information to ensure accuracy.
