Sealed cans, as food contact materials, need to undergo LFGB testing before being exported to Germany. LFGB is Germany's food contact material regulations, ensuring that products will not release substances harmful to the human body when in contact with food.
The German LFGB testing process mainly includes the following steps:
1. Prepare information: Provide detailed information about the sealed can product, including product description, material, usage, etc.
2. Fill in the application form: Submit the LFGB testing application form to the testing agency.
3. Sample testing: Provide a sufficient number of sealed can samples for testing by the testing agency.
4. Test content: Testing usually includes sensory inspection (such as taste and odor transfer), comprehensive migration testing (detection of chemicals that may migrate from materials to food), heavy metal testing, etc.
5. Evaluation and review: The testing agency evaluates and reviews the test results to ensure that the product complies with LFGB regulations.
6. Issuance of certificate: Once the product passes the test and evaluation, the testing agency will issue the LFGB test report and certificate.
Required information:
- Product technical documents
- Product samples
- Description of product materials and manufacturing processes
Test items may include:
- Sensory testing: Evaluates whether the product changes the taste and smell of the food.
- Migration testing: detects the possibility of chemicals in a product migrating into food.
- Heavy metal testing: Detect whether the product contains excessive amounts of lead, cadmium and other heavy metals.
- Specific migration test: Test for specific substances, such as plasticizers, organic solvents, etc.
After passing the LFGB certification, the sealed cans can be sold on the German market and may enhance consumer confidence in the product.
