If you plan to get food contact material testing at HUAK lab for the purpose of obtaining an LFGB certificate, firstly, you should determine applicable regulations, identify the target market and corresponding FCM regulations:
EU: Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, EU 10/2011 (plastics), etc.
US: FDA 21 CFR (e.g., §175–178 for plastics, §176–177 for paper).
China: GB 4806 series (e.g., GB 4806.7 for plastics, GB 4806.8 for coatings).
Other regions: Japan (JHOSPA), Korea (MFDS), etc.
HUAK offers price and sample requirements based on material type (plastic, silicone, metal, paper, etc.) and regulations.
After signing the contract, the manufacturer should provide the sample required by the HUAK lab.
1. Sample Requirements:
Provide finished products or raw materials.
Quantity depends on test scope (typically 3-5 units for migration tests)
Include product details (material type, intended use, temperature conditions).
2. Submit a Testing Request:
-Test standards(e.g., EU 10/2011, GB 4806.7).
- Food simulants (based on intended food type).
-Test conditions (time/temperature, e.g., 40 °C for 10 days).
The lfgb food contact test will be conducted after the lab receives the product, test fee, and application form. It will take 7 business days. By analyzing the test data and compliance evaluation against regulatory limits, HUAK drafts the qualified report to the customer for checking.
If everything is correct, release the official report.
