As a food contact material, drinking cups need to undergo DM testing and certification before being sold on the Italian market. This is because Italy has strict regulatory requirements for food contact materials to ensure safety when in contact with food.
Drinking cup Italian DM food contact material testing items:
1. Comprehensive migration test: This includes leaching drinking cups with different solvents (such as deionized water, 3% acetic acid, 10% alcohol, etc.) to detect harmful substances that may migrate from the material to the food. These tests help evaluate the amount of chemicals a drinking cup may release during use.
2. Heavy metal migration test: detect heavy metals (such as lead, cadmium, chromium, nickel, etc.) that may be present in drinking cups. These heavy metals may pose potential health risks if they migrate into food.
3. Specific migration test: Testing for specific chemical substances or components, such as the content detection of harmful substances such as polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers. These chemicals can be harmful to human health in some cases.
4. Sensory test: Subjectively evaluate the appearance and color of the drinking cup to ensure that it meets consumer expectations and acceptance.
5. Microbial indicator test: Test the total number of bacterial colonies, coliforms, mold and other microbial indicators in the drinking cup to ensure that it meets hygienic standards.
Drinking cup Italian DM food contact material testing process:
1. Submit application and prepare samples: First, submit a testing application to the relevant testing agency or certification agency, and provide detailed information about the drinking cup, such as material, purpose, etc. At the same time, according to the requirements of the testing agency, prepare samples that meet the quantity and quality requirements.
2. Preliminary evaluation: The testing agency conducts a preliminary evaluation of the submitted sample to determine whether it meets the testing requirements. This step is mainly to check the completeness, representativeness and compliance of the sample with the testing standards.
3. Testing preparation: The testing institution prepares the equipment, reagents and reference materials required for testing. Ensure that all equipment and reagents comply with relevant standards and regulations to ensure the accuracy of test results.
4. Laboratory testing: Laboratory testing is conducted on drinking cups, including migration testing, heavy metal migration testing, specific migration testing, etc. These tests are designed to evaluate the amount of harmful substances that drinking cups may release when in contact with food to ensure that they meet the safety requirements of Italian DM standards.
5. Result analysis: Organize, analyze and interpret the experimental data to evaluate whether the drinking cup meets the Italian DM food contact material standards. The testing agency will issue a detailed testing report, including testing data, analysis and conclusions, etc.
6. Audit and certification: After audit, if the drinking cup meets relevant standards, it will be certified by Italian DM food contact materials. This means that the drinking cup has passed the strict testing of Italy’s food contact material regulations and can be safely sold on the Italian market.
