Food-grade plastic bags German LFGB test report
I. Is LFGB testing required?
Yes. Food-grade plastic bags are typical food contact materials (FCM). According to German LFGB §30/31, all such products sold or circulated in the German market must pass LFGB sensory and migration tests before they can be imported and sold.
II. Main Testing Items
| Testing Category | Specific Items | Significance
| Sensory Testing | Odor Transfer, Taste Transfer | Whether off-odors are produced after simulated food contact
| Comprehensive Migration Testing | Total migration amount in simulated solutions of 10% ethanol, 3% acetic acid, and olive oil | Assessing the migration of non-volatile substances into food
| Specific Migration Testing | Plasticizers (DEHP, DBP, BBP, etc.), Bisphenol A (BPA), Primary Aromatic Amines | Control of high-risk hazardous substances
| Heavy Metal Leaching | Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, etc. | Prevention of metallic contaminants
| Special Substances | Vinyl Chloride Monomer, Acrylonitrile (for PVC and ABS materials) | Residual Monomer Control
| Additive Screening | Antioxidants, Light Stabilizers, etc. | Assessing additive migration risk
Testing items differ depending on the material: The testing focus differs for PE/PP plastic bags, PA vacuum bags, composite bags, and bags with printed ink.
III. Commonly Used Testing Standards
LFGB §30/31 (German Food, Consumer Goods and Feed Law)
EU 10/2011 (EU Regulation on Plastics in Food Contact)
EN 1186 (Methods for Testing Migration of Materials and Articles)
BfR Recommendations (Relevant Chapters from the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment)
IV. Processing Procedure
1. Confirm Product Material and Intended Use → Different simulating liquids are suitable for dry foods, frozen foods, and foods containing oils.
2. Select Testing Institution → Prefer laboratories with DAkkS accreditation (German accredited body), such as Dezewei Testing (CNAS registration number: L8083).
3. Sample Preparation → Usually, 5–10 complete packaging bags are required; the material/ink/structure must be consistent with the mass-produced product.
4. Sign a Contract Agreement → Clarify the testing items, cycle, and fees.
5. Laboratory Testing → Standard cycle: 7–15 working days.
6. Report Issuance → Includes both Chinese and English versions, meeting the acceptance requirements of German customs and traders.
V. Fees and Timeframe Reference
| Item | Approximate Cost (RMB) | Timeframe
| Basic LFGB Complete Set (PE/PP Bags) | 8000 – 2000 RMB | 5–7 Working Days
