For the LFGB certification test report required for exporting insulated drums to Germany, the following are detailed guidelines, testing items, and process instructions:
1. Overview of LFGB certification for insulated buckets
Insulated buckets belong to food contact materials (FCM) and must comply with the provisions of Articles 30 and 31 of the German Food and Daily Necessities Act (LFGB) when sold in the German market. After passing the test, the product can obtain an LFGB test report and is authorized to use the "knife and fork logo" to prove that the product does not contain harmful chemicals to the human body and will not contaminate food.
2. Main testing items
Due to the fact that insulated buckets are usually assembled from multiple materials, LFGB testing needs to be conducted separately for different components. Common testing items include:
Sensory testing (universal): All materials must undergo sensory evaluation of odor and taste transfer to ensure that they do not alter the taste of the food.
Metal components (such as stainless steel inner liner and outer shell):
Heavy metal precipitation testing (such as lead, cadmium, chromium, nickel, etc.).
Composition analysis.
Plastic components (such as lids, shells, seals):
Total migration volume test.
Heavy metal precipitation test.
Specific substance migration amount (depending on the specific plastic material, such as PVC, PE, PP, etc.).
Silicone/rubber components (such as sealing rings):
Testing of transferable or volatile compounds.
Peroxide value test (for rubber).
3. Handling process
The standard process for processing the LFGB test report for insulated buckets is as follows:
1. Consultation and application: The applicant shall provide the testing agency with product information (such as material specifications, BOM table) and samples of the insulated bucket.
2. Evaluation quotation: The testing agency evaluates the testing standards and items based on the material composition of the insulation bucket (such as stainless steel, plastic, silicone, etc.), and issues a quotation.
3. Contract signing and sample delivery: After confirming the quotation, the applicant signs the contract and sends the sample to the laboratory (Dezewei Testing CNAS registration number: L8083).
4. Laboratory testing: The laboratory conducts various tests on the samples according to LFGB standards.
5. Issue report: After passing the test, the laboratory will issue an LFGB test report; If it is not qualified, it needs to be rectified and retested.
4. Cost and Cycle
Cost: LFGB certification fee is calculated based on materials. If the insulated bucket contains multiple materials such as stainless steel, plastic, silicone, etc., the cost is the sum of the testing fees for each material. The reference unit price is approximately 1000-2000 yuan per material. The specific cost needs to be determined based on the actual material and testing items.
Cycle: The report is usually issued within 5-7 working days after receiving the samples and payment (depending on the laboratory schedule).
5. Precautions
Multiple material separate testing: If the lid of the insulation bucket is made of PP plastic, the sealing ring is made of silicone, and the inner liner is made of 304 stainless steel, these three materials need to be tested separately and charged.
Report validity period: LFGB test reports usually do not have clear validity period restrictions, as long as the product material, production process, and regulatory standards have not changed, the report is valid for a long time.
Logo usage: After obtaining a qualified report, the product or packaging can be printed with the "knife and fork" logo, which is a high-quality safety label recognized by German consumers and helps to enhance market competitiveness.
