Process of LFGB certification report for food processing equipment in Germany
1、 Product Definition
Food processing equipment (such as mixers, blenders, juicers, food processors, slicers, etc.) belong to the category of materials that come into contact with food and need to pass LFGB certification to prove their compliance with the safety requirements for food contact materials in Germany and the European Union.
2、 Handling process
|Step | Content
| 1. Submit application | Fill out the application form and provide product information (material, process, purpose)
| 2. Data review | Laboratory review material list, determine testing plan
| 3. Sample testing | Sending representative samples for testing
| 4. Issue report | After passing the test, issue LFGB inspection report
Cycle: 5-7 working days
3、 Main testing items
1. Sensory testing - evaluation of taste and odor transfer
2. Chemical migration test - migration amount of heavy metals (lead, cadmium, chromium, etc.)
3. Special substance testing - Depending on the material, it may involve plasticizers, formaldehyde, bisphenol A, etc
4. Material analysis - confirm that the materials of each component are consistent with the declaration
4、 Required Information
Product Material List (Materials and Colors of Each Component)
Product design drawings or manuals
Food contact instructions (what kind of food to contact, temperature conditions)
Samples (usually 2-3 pieces)
5、 Precautions
Plastic and metal components may need to be tested separately
The surface in direct contact with food is the focus of testing
The validity period of the report is usually long-term, but material changes require retesting
