According to the US FDA's regulatory requirements for food contact materials (FCS), cutting boards, as kitchen utensils that come into direct contact with food, are subject to the following tests:

I. Applicable testing standards

II. List of mandatory inspection items

1. Chemical safety test

- Migration test:

- Aqueous food simulant (deionized water, 100℃×30min)

- Acidic food simulant (3% acetic acid, 70℃×2h)

- Alcoholic food simulant (8% ethanol, 40℃×24h)

- Grease simulant (n-heptane, reflux temperature×2h)

- Heavy metal test: Total limit of 8 elements including lead, cadmium, mercury, and chromium (lead ≤0.1ppm)

- Formaldehyde release: Formaldehyde migration of bamboo cutting board adhesive ≤15ppm

2. Physical property test

- Abrasion resistance: Knife cutting test (no visible debris falling off after 500 cycles)

- Heat resistance: No deformation or cracking after being placed in a 70℃ oven for 1 hour

3. Special treatment additional items

- Antibacterial coating: Silver ion migration (≤0.05mg/kg) and antibacterial agent residues need to be tested

- Dyed bamboo board: Azo dye test (24 banned aromatic amines must not be detected)

III. Test cycle

Test cycle: 5-7 working days
