As plastic cutlery is a product that comes into direct contact with food, when conducting German LFGB testing, it is necessary to follow certain procedures and prepare corresponding materials. The following is the specific process for LFGB testing and the materials required:
1. Prepare information: Enterprises need to prepare product information including product instructions, material ingredient lists, etc. to ensure that product characteristics are fully displayed.
2. Submit application: Submit LFGB testing application to a qualified testing agency.
3. Sample preparation: Provide a certain number of plastic cutlery samples for testing. Specific quantities may vary based on material type and testing requirements.
4. Laboratory testing: Samples will be sent to qualified laboratories for safety testing, which may include sensory testing, migration testing, heavy metal content testing, etc.
5. Evaluation and audit: The certification body will evaluate whether the product meets the requirements of LFGB regulations based on the test results.
6. Certification report: After passing the test, the certification agency will issue a detailed report stating that the product meets the LFGB standards.
7. Certificate issuance: Based on the report results, the certification body will issue an LFGB certificate to the enterprise to prove that the product meets the requirements of German food safety regulations.
8. Note: LFGB testing requirements are strict, especially for plastic products, which need to be tested according to different test standards according to different material types, and the experimental results are also more standardized, such as PC, PVC, PE, etc.
9. Test items: including but not limited to sensory inspection (odor and taste transfer), plastic migration test, heavy metal test, metal composition and extractable heavy metal test, etc.
10. Regulatory updates: Enterprises should pay close attention to the latest developments and updates of LFGB regulations to ensure that products comply with the latest regulatory requirements.
Through the above process, plastic cutlery can obtain LFGB certification and then be sold in Germany and other European markets.
