Water dispensers need to undergo German LFGB testing. The scope of LFGB certified products includes small kitchen appliances, and water dispensers are clearly mentioned. If the water dispenser is planned to be sold on the German or EU market, LFGB testing is necessary to ensure that the product complies with relevant food safety standards.
When the water dispenser is tested by the German LFGB, it mainly involves the following test items and processes:
Test items:
1. Preliminary inspection of samples and materials: Conduct a preliminary inspection of water dispenser samples and materials.
2. Sensory evaluation of odor and taste transfer: Evaluate whether the material will produce undesirable odor or taste when in contact with food.
3. Testing of transferable components and leachable heavy metals of plastic samples: detecting chemical components and heavy metal content in plastic materials that may migrate into food.
4. Testing of metal components and precipitable heavy metals: Conduct component analysis and heavy metal content testing on metal parts.
5. Testing of transferable or volatile organic compounds of silicone samples: For silicone materials, detect organic compounds that may be released into food.
6. Special materials are tested for chemical hazards according to the German Chemicals Act: Special materials are assessed for chemical hazards.
Test process:
1. The applicant shall provide the application sample information to the testing agency: provide detailed information of the water dispenser sample or provide the sample directly.
2. The testing agency evaluates the sample, evaluates the test standards and test items, and provides fees: the testing agency determines the required test items and related fees based on the characteristics of the sample.
3. The applicant will provide samples for testing after acceptance: After confirming the cost and test items, samples will be provided for testing.
4. The testing agency conducts testing according to the testing standards: The testing agency conducts various tests on the samples according to the LFGB standards.
5. An LFGB test report will be issued after passing the test: If the sample passes the test, the testing agency will issue an LFGB test report.
The above processes and projects ensure the safety of the water dispenser when in contact with food and comply with the strict standards for food contact materials in the German and European markets. After passing these tests, the water dispenser can be safely sold on the market in Germany and other European countries.
