Stainless steel thermos cups in the EU market, especially Germany, need to undergo LFGB testing to ensure that they meet the safety standards of food contact materials. The following are some guidelines for EU and German LFGB testing of stainless steel thermos cups:
1. Understand the LFGB regulatory requirements:
LFGB is a German regulatory requirement for testing and evaluating the safety of food contact materials. It ensures that the product does not contain toxic substances that are harmful to the human body.
For stainless steel thermos cups, LFGB testing mainly focuses on its material composition, heavy metal migration, and other substances that may be harmful to human health.
2. Choose the appropriate testing agency:
Choose a testing organization with LFGB certification that can provide accurate testing and evaluation services.
When selecting a testing agency, you should review its qualifications, experience and customer feedback to ensure it can meet your testing needs.
3. Prepare samples and submit:
Prepare samples according to the requirements of the testing agency. The samples need to contain all parts of the thermos cup and be completely assembled.
When submitting samples, detailed information about the product, such as material composition, production process and usage instructions, should be provided.
4. Perform testing:
The testing agency will test the material, size, design, processing, packaging and labeling of the samples to ensure that they meet the requirements of the LFGB standard.
Testing may include migration testing (assessing whether hazardous substances may migrate into food) and toxicity testing (assessing whether a product contains toxic substances).
5. Audit report:
The testing agency will issue a testing report, and the applicant needs to carefully review the content of the report and confirm that all indicators in the report meet the requirements of the LFGB standard.
If there are any indicators in the report that do not meet the standards, the applicant needs to take corresponding measures to improve and resubmit samples for testing.
6. Obtain certification:
After confirming that the test report meets the requirements, the applicant can apply for LFGB certification from the relevant German institutions and obtain the corresponding certification certificate.
After obtaining LFGB certification, the stainless steel thermos cup will be certified as a "product that does not contain chemical toxic substances" by an LFGB test report issued by an authorized agency, and can be sold in the German market.
