Plastic cups need to pass LFGB (German Food and Daily Necessities Act) testing before being sold in the German market to ensure that they comply with German and European food-grade contact material standards. The purpose of LFGB testing is to ensure that plastic cups will not cause food contamination during use and protect the health and safety of consumers. Testing items include material composition, hazardous substance content, migration testing, and multiple aspects of physical and chemical properties.
The testing process usually includes providing product information, filling out an application form, preparing samples, and conducting testing. Test items may include:
1. Initial inspection of samples and materials, including material type, composition, production process, etc.
2. Sensory evaluation of odor and taste transfer to ensure that plastic cups will not produce undesirable odors or tastes to water or other foods during use.
3. Detection of heavy metals, including lead, cadmium, chromium, etc., to evaluate their migration under specific conditions.
4. Migration testing to evaluate the total amount of harmful substances that plastic cups may migrate into water under specific conditions.
5. Physical performance testing, such as drop resistance, pressure resistance, etc., to ensure that the product is not easily broken or deformed during normal use.
6. Chemical performance testing, which may include the migration of specific chemical substances such as plasticizers and bisphenol A (for plastic cups).
7. pH value test to evaluate the impact on food pH.
8. Evaluation of antioxidant properties.
9. Solubility test to evaluate stability.
Products that pass LFGB testing will receive a certification mark or certificate of conformity, proving that the product meets Germany's food-grade contact material standards and can be sold in the German market. Testing institutions and testers should have corresponding qualifications and experience, and the testing process should be strictly carried out in accordance with LFGB standards and relevant regulations to ensure the accuracy and reliability of test results.
