If beverage barrels are designed to hold food and may come into direct contact with food, they need to comply with SOR/2016-175 testing standards when sold in Canada. The SOR/2016-175 regulation mainly targets glazed ceramic and glassware for food contact, and stipulates the migration limits of lead and cadmium in these vessels. If the materials or coatings of beverage barrels contain substances that may be harmful to human health, such as lead and cadmium, appropriate testing will be required to ensure their safety before entering the Canadian market.
When beverage barrels undergo SOR/2016-175 testing in Canada, the following information needs to be prepared:
1. Design drawings and technical specifications of the product, which help the testing agency understand the structure and material composition of the product.
2. Material list, including all materials used to make the beverage barrel and their proportions.
3. Instructions for use, describing the intended use and conditions of use of the product.
4. Production process documentation, which may include quality control steps during manufacturing.
5. Samples, a sufficient number of samples need to be provided for testing by the testing agency.
6. Product labeling and packaging design, including any safety warnings or compliance markings.
7. A test report issued by an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory proves that the product meets the requirements of SOR/2016-175 regulations.
When submitting materials, manufacturers or sellers need to ensure that all information is true, accurate, complete, and meets Canadian government requirements. If the product needs to be adjusted in design or materials to meet the requirements of the SOR/2016-175 regulations, the manufacturer or seller should actively cooperate with the testing agency to make the necessary improvements. At the same time, dynamic changes in regulations should be regularly monitored to ensure product compliance.
