SOR/2016-175 is a Canadian regulation that sets the maximum migration levels of specific hazardous substances in food contact materials to ensure food safety. For stainless steel tableware, since they are often in direct contact with food, SOR/2016-175 food contact testing is required to ensure that they will not migrate harmful substances into food.
SOR/2016-175 detection steps:
1. Understand the standard requirements
Before starting testing, you need to understand the requirements and restrictions of the SOR/2016-175 standard in detail, including the content limits of heavy metals and other harmful substances allowed in stainless steel tableware.
2. Choose the appropriate testing agency
Choose a testing agency with qualifications and experience to test stainless steel tableware. Ensure that the testing agency has relevant certifications and qualifications to ensure the accuracy and reliability of testing results.
3. Submit samples
Submit samples of stainless steel tableware as required by the testing agency. It is usually necessary to provide a sufficient number of samples for testing.
4. Conduct preliminary testing
The testing agency will conduct preliminary testing on the samples to determine whether they meet the requirements of the SOR/2016-175 standard. This includes checking the appearance, texture and color of stainless steel tableware.
5. Conduct chemical testing
If the preliminary test passes, the testing agency will conduct chemical testing on the stainless steel tableware to determine whether it contains excessive heavy metals and other harmful substances.
6. Waiting for test results
Waiting for the testing agency to provide test results. If the tableware complies with the SOR/2016-175 standard, the testing agency will issue a corresponding conformity assessment report and certificate.
