As a type of food contact material, food storage boxes also need to undergo SOR/2016-175 food contact testing when exported to Canada.



The main testing items for food storage boxes include:

1. Chemical performance test: Test whether the materials of food storage boxes contain harmful chemicals, such as heavy metals, formaldehyde, etc.

2. Barrier performance test: Test the barrier properties of food storage boxes, such as gas barrier, water vapor barrier, etc., to ensure that the food will not be affected by the external environment.

3. Heat resistance performance test: Test the performance of food storage boxes at high temperatures to evaluate their safety in high-temperature environments such as microwave ovens and ovens.

4. Cold resistance performance test: Test the performance of food storage boxes at low temperatures to evaluate their safety in use in low-temperature environments such as refrigerators and freezers.

5. Surface coating testing: Test whether the surface coating of the food storage box is wear-resistant, easy to clean, non-toxic, etc. to ensure that the product will not cause food contamination during use.



Food storage box Canadian SOR/2016-175 food contact testing process:

1. Understand the requirements of SOR/2016-175 regulations: Before starting testing, you need to understand the specific requirements of Canada's SOR/2016-175 regulations for food contact materials, including regulations on materials, performance, test methods, etc.

2. Choose a suitable testing institution: Choose a testing institution with relevant testing qualifications and experience to ensure that it can conduct testing in accordance with the requirements of SOR/2016-175 regulations.

3. Provide samples and information: Provide the testing agency with samples of food storage boxes that need to be tested, and provide relevant product information, such as product material, production process, usage environment, etc.

4. Sign a testing agreement: Sign a testing agreement with the testing agency to clarify the requirements for testing items, standards, cycles, costs, etc.

5. Start testing: The testing agency conducts various performance tests on food storage boxes according to the requirements of SOR/2016-175 regulations, such as chemical properties, barrier properties, heat resistance, cold resistance, surface coating, etc.

6. Analysis of test results: After the test is completed, the testing agency will issue corresponding test reports and certificates to analyze and evaluate the test results to determine whether the product meets the requirements of SOR/2016-175 regulations.

7. Conformity assessment: If the food storage box meets the requirements of SOR/2016-175 regulations, the testing agency will issue a corresponding conformity assessment report and certificate. The manufacturer or exporter can use this report and certificate to sell the product in the Canadian market. .

8. Handling of non-compliance: If the food storage box does not meet the requirements of SOR/2016-175 regulations, the testing agency will issue a corresponding test report and description of the non-compliance. The manufacturer or exporter needs to make product improvements or improvements based on the recommendations in the report. Replace materials to comply with standard requirements.
