When storage tanks are sold in the Canadian market, if they are glazed ceramic or glass products, they need to undergo SOR/2016-175 testing. The following are the steps to apply for Canadian SOR/2016-175 testing of storage tanks:
1. Understand the SOR/2016-175 standard
First, manufacturers or importers need to understand the requirements and restrictions of the SOR/2016-175 standard in detail. This includes understanding the content limits of heavy metals and other harmful substances allowed in storage tanks, as well as the requirements for material safety, durability, stability, thermal stability and food migration restrictions.
2. Select a testing agency
Next, manufacturers or importers need to select a qualified and experienced testing agency to test storage tanks. This testing agency should have relevant certifications such as ISO 17025 to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results.
3. Prepare samples and materials
According to the requirements of the testing agency, manufacturers or importers need to prepare a corresponding number of storage tank samples and related materials. These materials may include product design drawings, material lists, instructions for use, production processes, etc. At the same time, ensure that the sample surface is clean, free of oil and coating, etc., to meet the testing requirements.
IV. Conducting Testing
The testing agency will conduct a series of tests on the storage tank samples to evaluate whether they meet the requirements of SOR/2016-175. The testing items may include sensory testing, soaking liquid testing, chemical performance testing, physical performance testing, etc.
Sensory testing: Evaluate the sample by visual, olfactory and other means to ensure that it will not have adverse effects on food.
Soaking liquid testing: Put the sample in the soaking liquid of simulated food, soak it according to the specified time and temperature conditions, and then analyze the content of harmful substances in the soaking liquid. This step usually includes sample soaking, soaking liquid analysis and result determination.
Chemical performance test: Detect whether the sample contains excessive harmful chemicals, such as heavy metals.
Physical performance test: Evaluate the durability, stability and thermal stability of the sample to ensure that it will not break or deform under normal use conditions.
V. Obtaining the test report
After the testing agency completes the test, it will provide a final test result report. If the storage tank sample meets the requirements of SOR/2016-175 standard, the testing agency will issue the corresponding test report.
VI. Submit application and information
After obtaining the test report, the manufacturer or importer needs to submit the application and relevant information to the Canadian government, including the product test report, instructions, manufacturer information, etc. The Canadian government will review and evaluate the application.
VII. Obtain certification
If the product meets the SOR/2016-175 certification standard, the Canadian government will issue the corresponding certification certificate. The manufacturer or importer can legally sell the product in the Canadian market.
It should be noted that the above steps may vary depending on the specific situation. Therefore, when applying for SOR/2016-175 testing, it is recommended that manufacturers or importers consult and communicate in detail with the testing agency or relevant departments of the Canadian government to ensure the smooth progress of the process.
