Introduction to LFGB certification testing.
With the continuous development of globalization, consumers are demanding more and more product quality and safety. In order to ensure that food-related products such as tableware, kitchen utensils, food packaging, etc. do not pose a hazard to consumers, many countries and regions have developed corresponding regulations and standards. Among them, the LFGB (Lebensmittel- und Bedarfsgegenst Ndegesetz) is one of the most important regulations in Germany for food and food-related products.
The LFGB certification is an important basis for the safety testing of food-related products in Germany, aiming to ensure that these products do not contaminate the food, so as to protect the health and safety of consumers. The range of products involved in LFGB certification testing is very wide, including tableware, kitchen utensils, food packaging, food storage containers, etc.
LFGB certification testing mainly includes the following aspects of testing:
Material Testing: Testing the raw materials of the product to ensure that it meets the requirements of the LFGB regulations. This includes testing plastics, rubber, metals, glass, and other materials for harmful substances such as heavy metals, phthalates, etc.
Safety testing: Evaluate whether the product will cause contamination or produce harmful substances to food during normal use. This includes testing the product's performance for temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and more.
Label and instruction manual testing: Ensure that the label and instruction manual of the product meet the requirements of the LFGB regulations, including product name, material, usage method, warning signs and other information.
Products tested for LFGB certification mean that they have passed a rigorous safety assessment and meet German and European safety standards for food-related products. This is particularly important for companies exporting to the German or European markets, where only LFGB-certified products can be sold.
However, LFGB certification testing is not only a test of product safety, it also includes the supervision of the company's production process. Companies need to comply with the requirements of the LFGB regulations in the production process to ensure product quality and safety. In addition, companies are regularly audited and supervised by the relevant authorities to ensure that the products they produce consistently comply with the requirements of the LFGB regulations.
In conclusion, LFGB certification testing is an important means to ensure the safety of food-related products and comply with regulatory requirements. For companies exporting to the German or European markets, obtaining LFGB certification is a must to enter these markets. At the same time, companies also need to continuously comply with the requirements of LFGB regulations during the production process to ensure product quality and safety. The products that have passed the LGB certification test will provide consumers with safer and healthier food-related products.
