When plastic drinking cups are sold on the German market, they need to undergo LFGB (German Food and Daily Necessities Act) testing to ensure that they comply with German and European safety standards and regulatory requirements. The LFGB testing project mainly includes the following aspects for plastic drinking cups:
1. Basic testing items
1. Initial inspection of samples and materials:
Conduct a preliminary inspection of samples of plastic drinking cups and their raw materials, including material type, composition, production process, etc.
2. Sensory test:
Includes an evaluation of odor and taste to ensure that plastic drinking cups do not impart undesirable odors or tastes to water or other foods during use.
2. Chemical performance testing
1. Total migration test:
Evaluate the total amount of harmful substances that may migrate into water from plastic drinking cups under specific conditions (such as temperature, time, etc.).
2. Special migration of heavy metals:
Test the migration of heavy metal elements (such as lead, cadmium, chromium, etc.) that may be contained in plastic drinking cups under specific conditions to ensure that the content of these heavy metals does not exceed the prescribed standards.
3. Migration of specific chemical substances:
Depending on the material and use of the plastic drinking cup, it may also be necessary to test the migration of other specific chemicals, such as plasticizers, bisphenol A, etc.
3. Physical performance testing (not directly aimed at chemical migration, but may be used as a supplement to evaluate the overall safety of the product)
1. Material strength:
Test the plastic drinking cup's resistance to falling and pressure to ensure that it is not easily broken or deformed during normal use.
2. Edge processing:
Check whether the edge of the drinking glass is smooth and has no sharp edges to prevent scratching the user.
4. Special material testing
Silicone sealing rings and other accessories:
If plastic drinking cups contain accessories such as silicone seals, appropriate testing for transferable or volatile organic compounds is required.
5. Other possible test items
Depending on the specific material of the plastic drinking cup (such as PP, PE, PC, etc.), other specific testing items may be required. For example, plastic drinking cups made of PC may need to detect the special migration of bisphenol A and the content of bisphenol A (for baby bottles, detection is not allowed).
