LFGB testing is performed on all materials, including those produced using the latest technology. Obtaining German LFGB certification for tablecloths is primarily intended to ensure that they do not release harmful substances when in contact with food, protecting consumer health.
Key Steps and Precautions
After understanding the overall process, there are several key steps that require your special attention:
1. Sample Preparation
Prepare two to three complete, unused tablecloth samples.
The samples must be identical in material and production process to the finished product to be sold in large quantities to ensure representativeness of the test.
2. Key Test Items
The laboratory conducts rigorous testing on tablecloths (typically textiles). Core items include:
Sensory Testing: This evaluates whether tablecloths impart an unpleasant odor or taste to food, a key feature of LFGB certification.
Migration Testing: This simulates contact with various acidic and oily food conditions to detect the release of harmful substances (such as heavy metals and plasticizers).
Specific Hazardous Substance Testing: For textiles, the content of certain harmful substances, such as certain azo dyes, is tested.
3. Turnaround Time and Cost
Time: Testing typically takes 5 to 7 business days, depending on the complexity of the product.
Cost: Certification fees are primarily calculated based on the type of material. If a tablecloth uses different materials (e.g., fabric, coating, or print), each material requires separate testing. The testing fee is approximately RMB 1,000 to 2,000.
4. Certificate and Report
After passing the test, you will receive an LFGB test report and can apply for a certificate of conformity bearing the "knife and fork mark." This mark is an important indicator of product safety.
LFGB certification has no fixed validity period, but any changes to the product's material, formula, or production process will require retesting and evaluation.
We hope the above information will help you successfully obtain LFGB certification for your tablecloth. If you have more detailed information about the specific material of your tablecloth (e.g., pure cotton, PVC, or other composite materials), please contact us.
