Food Contact Materials (FCM) refer to materials that come into contact with food under normal or foreseeable conditions of use but do not themselves constitute part of the food. The complete application process and key points for China GB4806 testing and certification of baking molds:
I. Preliminary Material Preparation
1. Product Technical Documents
- Mold Material Bill (BOM): Detailed description of each component's material (e.g., metal body, silicone handle, non-stick coating) and supplier information.
- Product Structure Diagram: Identify food-contact areas (e.g., inner wall, seal) and non-contact areas.
2. Sample Requirements
- Provide 3-5 complete mold sample sets (in various models/colors), including removable parts (e.g., silicone gaskets, accessories).
- Additional samples of key materials: metal sheets (stainless steel/aluminum alloy), silicone blocks, coating fragments, etc. (minimum 50g each).
3. Company Qualifications
- Copy of business license (with official seal).
- Complete the application form provided by the testing agency (specify product application and operating temperature range).
II. Testing Process and Standard Implementation
(I) Institution Selection and Inspection Submission
1. Qualification Verification: Select a laboratory with CMA/CNAS accreditation (e.g., Dezewei CNAS registration number: L8083).
2. Test Grouping: Test Items by Material (Example):
| Material | Test Standard | Core Items
| Metal (Stainless Steel) | GB4806.9-2016 | Heavy Metal Migration (Lead, Cadmium), Nickel Release
| Silicone Parts | GB4806.11-2016 | Volatile Substances, N-Nitrosamine Content
| Non-Stick Coating | GB4806.10-2016 | Total Migration, Formaldehyde Migration
| Plastic Parts | GB4806.7-2016 | Potassium Permanganate Consumption, Phthalates
(II) Laboratory Testing
1. Migration Test:
- Simulates actual use environments (e.g., acidic/greasy foods, high-temperature baking) to test for the release of harmful substances.
2. Special Items:
- Temperature Resistance Test (-20°C to 250°C cycling), Abrasion Resistance (risk of coating peeling).
(III) Report Generation
1. After passing the test, a draft report will be issued within 5-7 working days. Upon confirmation, a CMA/CNAS dual-standard report will be issued.
2. The report must include:
- Product usage restrictions (e.g., "applicable temperature ≤ 220°C")
- Food contact labeling specifications (must be printed)
