Ceramic dinner plates are made of inorganic non-metallic materials as the main material. They are usually used to load and present food and have a variety of styles and exquisite appearances. Ceramic dinner plates require Canadian SOR/2016-175 food contact testing. This testing is mainly to ensure that the ceramic dinner plates will not produce harmful substances when in contact with food and comply with relevant Canadian regulations and standards. As tableware that comes into direct contact with food, the safety of ceramic dinner plates is crucial. Through SOR/2016-175 food contact testing, the material safety and compliance of ceramic dinner plates, as well as whether there are migration of harmful substances and other issues, can be evaluated to protect the health and safety of consumers.



Ceramic dinner plates Canada SOR/2016-175 food contact testing items:

1. Sensory testing: Ceramic dinner plates are evaluated through sensory testing to ensure that they will not have adverse effects on food, such as changes in color, smell or taste, under normal conditions of use.

2. Soaking liquid detection: Put the ceramic dinner plate into the simulated food and soak it for a period of time, and then analyze the chemical composition of the soaking liquid. The main purpose of this testing project is to determine whether ceramic dinner plates are likely to migrate harmful substances, such as lead, cadmium and other heavy metals, into food.

3. Product classification: According to regulatory requirements, determine whether ceramic dinner plates fall within the scope of GCGR (Glazed Ceramics and Glassware Regulations). If it falls within this range, further testing and evaluation are required in accordance with the requirements of GCGR.

4. Migration limit test: Test the migration limit of harmful substances in ceramic dinner plates, such as lead and cadmium. These tests need to be carried out in an accredited laboratory and ensure that the product complies with the migration limits set out in the regulations.

5. Product Markings and Warnings: If the ceramic dinner plate is used for decorative purposes and is not suitable for storing, preparing or serving food, then a permanent warning mark needs to be added to the product. These markings can be labels that are engraved, printed, or affixed directly to the product.

6. Record Keeping and Reporting: Keep all records related to product testing, production and labeling. These records may be required for compliance verification or auditing in the future.

Ceramic dinner plate Canada SOR/2016-175 food contact testing process:

1. Understand regulations and standards: First, manufacturers and sellers need to understand in detail the requirements for ceramic dinner plates in the SOR/2016-175 regulations, including the allowable content limits of heavy metals and other harmful substances. This helps ensure products comply with regulatory standards.

2. Select a testing agency: Next, you need to choose a testing agency with qualifications and experience to test ceramic dinner plates. Ensure that the testing agency has relevant certifications and qualifications to ensure the accuracy and reliability of testing results.

3. Submit samples: Submit a sufficient number of ceramic dinner plate samples for testing in accordance with the requirements of the testing agency. The surface of the sample needs to be kept clean, free of oil, coating, etc.

4. Preliminary testing: The testing agency will conduct preliminary testing on the samples to check the appearance, texture and color of the ceramic dinner plates to determine whether they meet the basic requirements of the SOR/2016-175 standard.

5. Chemical testing: If the preliminary test is passed, the testing agency will conduct more in-depth chemical testing to determine whether the ceramic dinner plates contain excessive heavy metals and other harmful substances. This often involves the use of a variety of chemical reagents and equipment.

6. Soaking liquid test: Soak the ceramic dinner plate in simulated food for a period of time, and then analyze the chemical components in the soaking liquid to evaluate whether the dinner plate may migrate harmful substances into the food.

7. Result determination: According to regulatory requirements, compare the test results with the specified limit values to determine whether the ceramic dinner plate sample meets the SOR/2016-175 standard.

8. Report issuance: If the sample meets the standards, the testing agency will issue a test report that meets regulatory requirements. This report will detail the actual results of each test item, including material composition, physical properties, chemical properties and other data.
