Paper cups require China GB4806 testing. GB4806 is a standard for general safety requirements for food contact materials and products in China’s national food safety standards. It stipulates the hygienic requirements and test methods for food contact materials and products to ensure that they will not pose potential threats to the safety and hygiene of food during use. As food contact materials, paper cups must comply with the requirements of the GB4806 standard, including testing of sensory requirements, physical and chemical indicators, migration limits, microbial indicators, etc.



Paper cup China GB4806 testing items:

1. Sensory testing: Check the appearance, color, smell, etc. of the paper cup to ensure there are no abnormalities.

2. Dimensional inspection: measure the diameter, height, etc. of the paper cup to check whether it meets the specifications.

3. Leakage detection: Test the waterproof performance of the paper cup to ensure that there will be no leakage during use.

4. Strength test: Test the pressure resistance of the paper cup to ensure that it can withstand a certain weight of liquid without breaking.

5. Heat resistance test: Test the performance of paper cups at high temperatures to ensure that they will not deform or release harmful substances in hot water or hot drinks.

6. Hygienic indicator testing: Check the hygienic indicators of paper cups, such as the total number of bacteria, coliforms, etc., to ensure that food will not be contaminated during use.

8. Label and logo detection: Check whether the labels and logos on the paper cups are clear and standardized, including production date, shelf life, manufacturer and other information.



Paper cup China GB4806 testing process:

1. Submit an application: Submit an application to the testing agency and provide necessary product information and materials.

2. Sample preparation: Prepare enough paper cup samples according to the requirements of the testing agency and ensure the representativeness of the samples.

3. Testing by the testing agency: The testing agency will conduct various tests on the paper cups in accordance with the requirements of the GB4806 standard, including sensory requirements, physical and chemical indicators, migration limits, microbial indicators, etc.

4. Report issuance: The testing agency will issue a detailed test report based on the test results and confirm its accuracy.

5. Report review and filing: Enterprises need to review test reports and ensure that they comply with relevant standards and regulations. If the report meets the requirements, the company can archive the report for subsequent use.
