Plastic containers do require SOR/2016-175 food contact material testing when exported to Canada. SOR/2016-175 is a standard established by the Canadian government to ensure the quality and safety of ceramic tableware and glassware.
When plastic containers are tested for Canadian SOR/2016-175 food contact materials, the following items need to be tested:
1. Sensory testing: Food contact materials are evaluated through sensory testing to ensure that they will not have adverse effects on food.
2. Soaking liquid testing: Put food contact materials into simulated food and soak them for a period of time, and then analyze the chemical components in the soaking liquid to determine whether the food contact materials are likely to migrate harmful substances into the food.
3. Chemical performance testing: Test the chemical properties of food contact materials, including whether they contain harmful chemicals, such as heavy metals, formaldehyde, etc.
4. Barrier performance test: Test the barrier properties of food contact materials, such as gas barrier, water vapor barrier, etc., to ensure that food will not be affected by the external environment.
5. Heat resistance performance test: Test the performance of food contact materials at high temperatures to evaluate their safety in high-temperature environments such as microwave ovens and ovens.
6. Cold resistance performance test: Test the performance of food contact materials at low temperatures to evaluate their safety in use in low-temperature environments such as refrigerators and freezers.
7. Surface coating testing: Test whether the surface coating of food contact materials is wear-resistant, easy to clean, non-toxic, etc. to ensure that the product will not cause food contamination during use.
These testing items are designed to ensure the safety and compliance of plastic containers as food contact materials to comply with the requirements of Canadian SOR/2016-175 regulations.
