Stainless steel water cups exported to Germany require LFGB certification. LFGB is a regulation in Germany that tests and evaluates the safety of food contact materials, ensuring that products do not contain harmful substances and comply with German food safety standards. After passing the LFGB certification, the product can be sold in the German market. What testing items are required for exporting stainless steel water cups to Germany?


The LFGB testing items for stainless steel water cups in Germany mainly include the following aspects:

1. Composition detection of stainless steel material: Detect the main components of stainless steel material in the water cup to ensure that it meets the requirements of German LFGB standards for food contact materials.

2. Heavy metal migration detection: Detect the content of heavy metals that may precipitate from the water cup during use to ensure that it does not contaminate food.

3. Other harmful substance detection: Depending on the specific situation, it may also be necessary to detect other substances in the water cup that may be harmful to human health.


The German LFGB testing process for stainless steel water cups is as follows:

1. The applicant shall fill out the application form and provide information such as product material specifications.

2. Based on the samples provided by the applicant, the engineer will evaluate and determine the items to be tested.

3. After confirming the quotation, the applicant signs the contract, pays the payment, and provides test samples.

4. The testing agency tests the samples according to the LFGB standard.
