Disposable aluminum foil lunch box EU EC No 1935/2004 testing requirements, according to the EU food grade regulation 1935/2004/EC, disposable aluminum foil lunch boxes need to meet a series of strict testing requirements when exported to the EU market. The following are specific requirements and testing items:

1. Regulatory Overview

The EU food grade regulation 1935/2004/EC aims to ensure that materials and articles in contact with food do not cause harm to human health. The regulation covers a wide range of food contact materials, including aluminum foil, and sets strict requirements and standards to ensure food safety and consumer health.

2. Compliance requirements for aluminum foil lunch boxes

In order to ensure the safety of aluminum foil lunch boxes, EU regulations require the following testing items:

- Heavy metal dissolution test: especially lead and cadmium, two harmful elements that have a significant impact on human health. These tests simulate the use of aluminum foil lunch boxes under different food contact conditions, measure the dissolution of lead and cadmium, and ensure that it is below the safety limit set by the EU.

- Comprehensive migration test: evaluates the total amount of all substances that may migrate out of the aluminum foil lunch box when it comes into contact with food. This test simulates the situation when the aluminum foil lunch box comes into contact with food under various conditions of use (such as different temperatures, humidity and time) to ensure that the total amount of substances that migrate out does not exceed the safety limit.

- Specific migration test: detects the migration of specific harmful substances such as heavy metals and plasticizers. The EU has set strict compliance standards and limits for food contact materials to ensure that harmful substances in the materials will not cause harm to human health through food intake.

3. Labeling and advertising requirements

- Product labeling: must clearly and accurately indicate the material composition, usage conditions and safety information to ensure that consumers can use the product correctly.

- Advertising content: must not mislead consumers and must truly reflect the performance and safety of the product.

4. Market access process

- Declaration of conformity: Food contact materials must be accompanied by a declaration of conformity. The declaration of conformity is a legal requirement for products to enter the EU market, ensuring that the product meets EU requirements in terms of safety, health and environmental protection.

- Traceability: Detailed records must be kept at every stage from raw material procurement to product sales so that the source can be quickly traced when problems arise.

5. Market supervision

The EU has very strict market supervision on food contact materials, including regular market spot checks and testing.

Summary

Disposable aluminum foil lunch boxes must comply with the requirements of the EU food grade regulation 1935/2004/EC when exported to the EU market. This includes heavy metal dissolution testing, comprehensive migration testing, and specific migration testing to ensure product safety and compliance. At the same time, product labels and advertising content must also comply with EU regulations to ensure that consumers can use the product correctly. By strictly enforcing these standards, the health of consumers can be effectively protected.
