To export bottles to the United States, FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) testing and certification is required. The following is a guide to the US FDA testing and certification of bottles:
1. Understand FDA certification
The FDA is an agency in the United States that regulates products such as food, drugs, and cosmetics. For food contact materials such as bottles, the FDA is mainly concerned about whether they will cause contamination to food or beverages.
2. Preparation stage
- Provide product information: Applicants need to provide detailed information about the bottle, including material (such as glass, plastic, etc.), use, production process, etc.
- Preliminary evaluation: Based on the information provided, the technical engineer will evaluate the testing items that need to be carried out on the bottle and provide a quotation to the applicant.
3. Apply for certification
- Fill in the application form: After the applicant confirms the quotation, he needs to fill in the test application form and submit the test sample.
- Sample testing: Testing will be performed in accordance with applicable FDA standards. For example, glass bottles may need to be tested for chemical composition, while plastic bottles need to be tested for leaching of specific chemicals.
4. Test items
Depending on the bottle's material and intended use, the following tests may be required:
- Requirements for organic coatings, metals and electroplated products: U.S. FDACFR21175.300
- Requirements for sealing rings and sealing liners of food containers: U.S. FDACFR21177.1210
- Ceramic, glass, enamelware: U.S. FDACPG7117.06.07
- Metal requirements: U.S. FDACFR175.300&CPG7117.05
5. Obtain certification report
- Test completion: After the test is completed, the laboratory will provide an FDA certification report.
-Issuance of certificate: If the bottle passes all necessary tests, the applicant will receive a certificate of compliance with FDA testing.
6. Ongoing Compliance
- Regular testing: In order to maintain compliance, manufacturers need to regularly test their products to ensure that they always meet FDA standards.
-Updating standards: FDA may update its standards and requirements regularly, and manufacturers need to keep abreast of and adapt to these changes.
