GB4806 is China's national food safety standard, its full name is "National Food Safety Standard - General Safety Requirements for Food Contact Materials and Products". This series of standards covers basic safety requirements for food contact materials and products, including containers, packaging, tools, equipment, etc. made of plastics, metals, ceramics, glass, rubber, paper and cardboard. The purpose of the GB4806 standard is to ensure that food contact materials and products will not affect food safety during production, processing, storage and transportation.
The process for pots and pans to undergo GB4806 testing in China is as follows:
1. Product sample preparation: The applicant needs to provide pot product samples to the testing agency. The number of samples can be determined according to the requirements of the testing agency.
2. Sample packaging: To ensure the integrity of the sample, the applicant should seal the sample in a standard transparent plastic bag or packaging box, and attach product instructions, instructions for use, production date and other materials.
3. Submit application: Submit the prepared samples and relevant information to the designated testing agency.
4. Acceptance by the testing agency: After receiving the application, the testing agency will review the application materials and arrange a testing plan.
5. Sample testing: Test samples in accordance with GB4806 standards, including testing of evaporation residues, potassium permanganate consumption, heavy metals (measured as lead), decolorization tests and other items in different food simulation liquids.
6. Issuing a report: After the testing agency completes the testing, it will issue a testing report to evaluate the testing results.
7. Report review: The applicant needs to review the test report to confirm whether the test results meet the requirements of the GB4806 standard.
8. Report issuance: If the test results meet the requirements of the GB4806 standard, the applicant will obtain the test report. If the test results do not meet the standard requirements, the applicant needs to make corrections according to the recommendations in the test report and resubmit the sample for testing.
The above process ensures that pot products comply with the requirements of China’s national food safety standard GB4806 to protect the health and safety of consumers.
