When ceramic products are exported to the United States, they do need to undergo US FDA food contact material testing. FDA is the abbreviation of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which is responsible for regulating food contact materials to ensure their safety and compliance. According to FDA regulations, all products that have direct contact or may come into contact with food need to be tested, including ceramic tableware, kitchen utensils, food containers, etc.
U.S. FDA food contact material testing test items for ceramic products:
1. Contaminant test: This test is to ensure that ceramic products will not release harmful substances or heavy metals, such as lead, cadmium, etc., when in contact with food. The migration amount must comply with the safety limits specified by the FDA.
2. Breakage test: Evaluate the strength and impact resistance of ceramic products to ensure that they are not easily broken or produce dangerous fragments under normal use conditions.
3. Temperature stability test: Evaluate the performance and stability of ceramic products under different temperature conditions to ensure that they can be safely used for food and beverages at various temperatures.
4. Material composition requirements: Ensure that the materials, additives and auxiliaries used in the product comply with relevant FDA regulations and will not cause food contamination.
5. Migration limit: Test the substance content released by the material into food under normal use conditions to ensure that it does not exceed the value specified by the FDA.
6. Safety assessment: Evaluate all food contact materials to determine whether they will cause potential harm to human health during use.
7. Labeling and certification requirements: Ensure that the product is marked with material ingredients, production date, shelf life and other relevant information.
These testing items are critical steps in ensuring that ceramic products meet FDA safety and compliance requirements for food contact materials. Manufacturers should choose a qualified testing agency to conduct comprehensive testing and evaluation, and issue a test report that meets FDA requirements.
