Rolling Pin German LFGB Testing Report Application Guide
I. Material Classification (Determines Testing Items)
Rolling pins are mainly classified by material as follows:
Wood: Solid wood, glued laminated wood, bamboo
Plastic: PP, PE, ABS, etc.
Silicone: Food-grade silicone
Metal: Stainless steel (304/430)
Composite materials: Stone, glass, ceramic
The testing items and costs vary significantly depending on the material. Wood and plastic are the most common materials and are most prone to exceeding standards, requiring special attention.
II. Processing Procedure (5 steps)
1. Initial Consultation
Clarify the material, specifications, and intended use of the rolling pin.
Confirm the export country (LFGB is required only for exports to Germany; for the entire EU, EU 1935/2004 is recommended).
2. Sample Submission Requirements
3-5 finished products (3 samples of each color/model).
For individual materials, a raw material sample (approximately 50g) is required.
For coated/printed products, the coating composition must be specified.
3. Laboratory Testing (5-7 working days)
The standard LFGB testing cycle is 5-7 working days; expedited processing can be shortened to 3 days (DEZEW Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083).
4. Report Issuance
The report must include German/English and comply with LFGB. Clauses 30/31
