The German LFGB food-grade test report for ceramic non-stick pots involves multiple testing items to ensure that the pots will not cause contamination or harm to food during use, thus complying with the requirements of Germany's Food and Daily Necessities Act. The following is a detailed analysis of the contents of the German LFGB food grade inspection report for ceramic non-stick pans:
1. Overview of testing items
When ceramic non-stick pans undergo German LFGB food grade testing, they will mainly focus on the following aspects:
1. Hazardous substance detection: This is the core content of detection, mainly including the detection of heavy metals (such as lead, cadmium, etc.) and other chemical substances that may be harmful to the human body (such as formaldehyde, aromatic amines, etc.). These substances may be present in the raw materials, coatings or production processes of ceramic non-stick pans, so testing is required to ensure that their content is within a safe range.
2. Physical performance testing: including heat resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and other tests to evaluate the stability and durability of the pot under normal use conditions.
3. Chemical performance testing: such as comprehensive migration test, dissolution test, etc., designed to simulate the actual conditions when the pot comes into contact with food and detect possible substance migration.
4. Sensory testing: Evaluate the appearance, smell, taste, etc. of the pot to ensure that it will not have any adverse effects on food.
2. Specific testing items
According to the information in the reference article, German LFGB food grade testing of ceramic non-stick pans may include the following specific items:
1. Extractable heavy metal (Pb, Cd): detection of extractable heavy metals (lead, cadmium). This is an important part of hazardous substance testing because lead and cadmium are common toxic heavy metals that may be harmful to human health if ingested for a long time.
2. Lip&rim extractable heavy metal (Pb, Cd): detection of edge extractable heavy metals (lead, cadmium). This specifically checks for possible decorations or coatings on the edges of pots and pans to ensure that these areas do not release harmful substances as well.
3. Extractable cobalt (Cobalt): In some cases, such as products for the Austrian, Italian and German markets, extractable cobalt may also be tested. Although cobalt has relatively low toxicity, it can be a concern in certain circumstances.
4. Sensory testing: Subjectively evaluate the appearance, smell, taste, etc. of the pot to ensure that it meets consumer expectations and usage habits.
5. Total migration test: Evaluate the possible migration of substances that may occur during use of the pot, including the migration of chemical substances in the coating into food.
6. Special migration test: Migration test for certain specific substances (such as primary aromatic amines, heavy metals, formaldehyde, etc.) to evaluate the migration of these substances under specific conditions.
3. The significance of the test report
The ceramic non-stick pot has passed the German LFGB food grade inspection and obtained certification, which means that the pot has passed strict safety and stability evaluation and complies with relevant regulations and standards in the German and European markets. This can not only enhance the market competitiveness of the product, but also enhance consumer trust and satisfaction with the product. At the same time, for manufacturers, obtaining LFGB certification is also an important reflection of their product quality and safety management level.
