If glass products are designed for food contact, they need to undergo Canadian SOR/2016-175 testing. SOR/2016-175 is a Canadian regulation that sets out safety standards and requirements for glazed ceramic and glassware to ensure that these vessels do not pose a hazard to human health. The Canadian SOR/2016-175 testing process for glass products usually includes the following steps:
1. Understand the SOR/2016-175 standard
Before starting testing, the manufacturer or importer needs to have a detailed understanding of the requirements and limitations of the SOR/2016-175 standard. This includes understanding the limits on the levels of heavy metals and other harmful substances allowed in glass products, as well as requirements for material safety, durability, stability, thermal stability and food migration limits.
2. Choose the appropriate testing agency
Manufacturers or importers need to choose a testing agency with qualifications and experience to test glass products. This testing agency should have relevant certifications such as ISO 17025 to ensure the accuracy and reliability of testing results.
3. Prepare samples and information
According to the requirements of the testing agency, the manufacturer or importer needs to prepare a corresponding number of glass product samples and related information. These materials may include product design drawings, material lists, instructions for use, production processes, etc. At the same time, ensure that the surface of the sample is clean, free of oil, coating, etc., to meet the testing requirements.
4. Conduct testing
The testing agency will conduct a series of tests on glass product samples to evaluate whether they meet the requirements of the SOR/2016-175 standard. These tests may include:
Sensory testing: Evaluate samples through vision, smell, etc. to ensure that they will not have adverse effects on food.
Soaking liquid testing: Put the sample into the soaking liquid that simulates food, soak it according to the specified time and temperature conditions, and then analyze the content of harmful substances in the soaking liquid.
Chemical performance testing: Detect whether the sample contains excessive harmful chemicals, such as heavy metals, etc.
Physical performance testing: Evaluate the durability, stability and thermal stability of the sample.
5. Waiting for test results
After the testing agency completes the testing, it will provide a final test result report. If the glass product sample meets the requirements of the SOR/2016-175 standard, the testing agency will issue a corresponding test report.
6. Submit application and obtain certification
After obtaining the test report, the manufacturer or importer needs to submit an application and related information to the Canadian government, including product test reports, instructions, manufacturer information, etc. The Canadian government will review and evaluate the application, and if the product meets the SOR/2016-175 certification standards, a corresponding certification certificate will be issued.
