If the electric oven is to be exported to the United States, its food contact parts need to pass the US FDA food contact material test. The following is relevant information about the US FDA food contact material test of the electric oven:
1. What is FDA food contact material test?
FDA food contact material test refers to the safety test of materials that are in direct contact with food to ensure that these materials will not contaminate food and affect the health of consumers. FDA is the abbreviation of the US Food and Drug Administration, which is responsible for supervising the safety of food contact materials.
2. Electric oven parts that need to be tested
Parts in electric ovens that come into direct contact with food usually include:
- Internal baking tray
- Grill
- Internal coating
- Any metal or plastic parts that may come into contact with food
3. Testing standards
FDA food contact material testing is mainly based on the following standards:
- 21 CFR Part 177-2003: Polymer substances
- 21 CFR Part 175-2003: Adhesives and coating materials, metals
- 21 CFR Part 176-2003: Paper and paperboard products
- 21 CFR Part 178-2003: Food additives: additives, production aids and disinfectants
- FDA CPG 7117.05: Requirements for silver-plated products
- FDA CPG 7117.06&07: Requirements for glass, ceramics, and enamelware
4. Test items
Common FDA food contact material test items include:
- 8% alcohol extraction method: test material dissolution in alcohol
- Chloroform soluble extract (deionized water extraction method): test material dissolution in deionized water
- Metals, organic coatings, electroplated products: test whether the dissolution of these materials meets the requirements of U.S. FDA CFR 21 175.300
- Paper and paper products: test whether the dissolution of these materials meets the requirements of U.S. FDA CFR 21 176.170
- Wood: test whether the dissolution of these materials meets the requirements of U.S. FDA CFR 21 178.3800
- Plastics: test whether the dissolution of these materials meets the standards of U.S. FDA CFR 21 177.1010, 177.1210, 177.1350, etc.
V. Certification process
1. Detection confirmation: The testing agency confirms whether the materials of the electric oven meet the test standards.
2. Fill in the test application form: The tester fills in the test application form.
3. Provide samples: The tester provides samples to the testing laboratory for sample confirmation.
4. Draft a quotation contract: The testing agency drafts a quotation contract and quotes according to the test application form and samples.
5. Confirm the quotation and pay: The tester confirms the quotation and pays according to the contract.
6. Sample testing: The testing agency tests the samples and proposes rectification if any problems are found during the test.
7. Issue a test report or certification certificate: After the test is qualified, the testing agency issues a test report or certification certificate.
VI. Certification agency
You can choose a qualified third-party testing agency to conduct FDA food contact material testing, such as Shenzhen Dezewei.
Through the above steps, electric oven manufacturers can ensure that their products meet the US FDA's food contact material safety standards, so as to successfully enter the US market.
