Processing Procedures for Obtaining a Testing Report for Bamboo Teaware (GB4806 Food Contact Materials)
I. Product Standard Basis
Bamboo teaware belongs to the category of bamboo and wood materials and products for food contact, and the applicable standard is GB 4806.12-2022. This standard applies to food contact materials and products made primarily of bamboo, wood, or bamboo-wood composites, including bamboo teaware, bamboo chopsticks, bamboo cutting boards, and bamboo tableware.
II. Testing Items
| Testing Category | Specific Items | Limit Requirements
| General Physicochemical Indicators | Total Migration, Potassium Permanganate Consumption, Heavy Metals (as Pb) | Determined based on specific application
| Microbiological Indicators | Escherichia coli, Salmonella, etc. | Not detectable
| Residue Indicators | Pentachlorophenol (PCP), Sulfur Dioxide Residue | Strictly controlled limits
| Sensory Indicators | No off-odor, discoloration, etc. in the soaking solution | Meets normal sensory requirements
III. Application Process
1. Preliminary Preparation
Determine the product's material composition (pure bamboo or bamboo-wood composite)
Determine the product's intended use (contact with tea or hot water)
Prepare product technical parameters and production process descriptions
2. Selecting a Testing Institution
Entrust to a third-party testing laboratory with CMA/CNAS accreditation (Dezewei Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083)
Confirm the institution has the testing capabilities required for GB 4806.12
3. Application Submission and Sample Delivery
Fill out the testing application form and provide product information.
Send representative samples (usually 5-10 pieces).
Provide a material composition list and production process flow.
4. Laboratory Testing
The laboratory conducts various tests according to GB 4806.12.
If any item fails to meet the standards, the company needs to rectify the issues and retest.
5. Report Issuance
Qualified products receive a testing report.
The report can be used for product compliance documentation and e-commerce platform entry.
IV. Required Materials
Product samples and images
Material composition list (BOM)
Product specifications
Production process description
Testing application form
V. Fees and Timeframe
| Items | Reference Range
| Testing Fee | 1000-3000 RMB (depending on the number of testing items)
| Testing Timeframe | 5-7 working days
| Expedited Service | Fee increased by 50%-100%
VI. Notes
1. Standard Update: GB 4806.12 is a new standard implemented in 2023; testing must be based on the latest version.
2. Sample Representativeness: Submitted samples should be consistent with actual mass-produced products.
3. Labeling Requirements: Products must be labeled "For Food Contact Use" and include material information.
4. Export Products: If also exported to the EU, they must meet EU 10/2011 or German LFGB requirements.
