When plastic tableware is tested for GB4806 in China, the standard that needs to be followed is GB 4806.7-2023 "National Food Safety Standard - Plastic Materials and Products for Food Contact", which will be officially implemented on September 6, 2024. This standard integrates and modifies the previous GB 4806.6-2016 and GB 4806.7-2016 standards, and brings starch-based plastic materials and products into the management scope.
For plastic tableware, the key indicators in the GB4806.7-2023 standard include:
1. Raw material requirements: The resin list has been significantly revised, new resins authorized for use have been added, and the restrictive requirements for some resins have been revised based on the current development status of the industry and updates to foreign regulations.
2. Physical and chemical indicators: For risk substances that may be introduced in the plastic production process, such as plastic materials and products containing aromatic isocyanates and azo colorants that may produce aromatic primary amines, the total migration amount of aromatic primary amines has been added Require.
3. Plant fiber fillers: For plastic products containing plant fibers that exist on the market, manufacturers should ensure that the plant fiber fillers and other additives used comply with the requirements of GB 9685 and related announcements.
Test items usually include but are not limited to:
1. Evaporation residues in different food simulation liquids
2. Potassium permanganate consumption
3. Heavy metal content (calculated as lead)
4. Decolorization test
5. Dissolution test of heavy metals: such as nickel, antimony, arsenic, cadmium, lead, etc.
6. Residues of toxic and harmful monomers: such as acrylonitrile monomer, vinyl chloride monomer, etc.
7. Microbiological testing
When companies conduct GB4806 testing, they should ensure that the raw materials, production processes and final products used meet the requirements of the above standards to ensure the safety and compliance of plastic tableware. If testing is required, it is recommended to contact a professional testing agency for detailed testing and evaluation.
