LFGB Certification Process for Straw Cups in Germany
I. Product Overview and Certification Background
Straw cups, as drinking utensils for children, fall under the category of food contact materials regulated by LFGB certification. Since the target users are children, the product must simultaneously meet LFGB food contact safety requirements and the relevant provisions of the EU toy safety standard EN71. Straw cups typically consist of a cup body, lid, straw, and sealing ring, involving various materials such as plastic, silicone, and stainless steel. Each material requires corresponding food contact safety testing.
II. Application Process
Step 1: Confirm Product Materials and Certification Scope
Identify the types of materials used in each component of the straw cup (PP, PPSU, silicone, stainless steel, etc.)
Confirm the intended use conditions of the product (cold/hot drinks, contact time, etc.)
Determine if EN71 testing is required simultaneously (if toy elements are present)
Step 2: Select a Qualified Laboratory
Entrust to a testing institution accredited by LFGB in Germany
Confirm that the laboratory can issue test reports recognized by German customs and the EU market (DEZEW Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083)
Verify the laboratory's testing capabilities and scope of qualifications
Step 3: Sample Submission and Testing
Provide 2-3 representative sample sets (including all material components)
The laboratory conducts material composition analysis on the samples.
Perform migratory tests in simulated food liquids according to LFGB regulations.
Conduct sensory index tests (odor and taste transfer assessment).
Step 4: Report Issuance and Use of the Cutlery Mark
An LFGB test report is issued upon successful testing.
Obtain the qualification to use the "cutlery mark" on the product and packaging.
Prepare a declaration of conformity that meets EU requirements.
