Testing oil bottles and obtaining a compliance report in accordance with EU Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 requires the following structured process and key points to ensure compliance with food contact material (FCM) safety requirements:
I. Core Regulatory Requirements
1. General Safety Standards (Article 3)
- Material components must not release substances that could harm human health or alter the composition or organoleptic properties of food.
2. Specific Material Specifications
- Common materials used in oil bottles (e.g., plastic, glass, metal, silicone) must comply with additional specific regulations (e.g., plastics must comply with EU 10/2011).
3. Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
- Manufacturers must provide technical documentation (including test reports) and supply chain traceability information (Article 15).
II. Testing Process and Key Steps
Step 1: Material Analysis and Test Item Determination
| Oil Can Material | Mandatory Test Items | Reference Standards |
| Plastics (PP/PE, etc.) | Total Migration (OM), Specific Migration (SM), Sensory Testing, Residual Monomers | EU 10/2011 |
| Glass/Ceramics | Lead and Cadmium Release (4% Acetic Acid Solution) | 84/500/EEC |
| Metal Coatings | Heavy Metal Migration (Pb/Cd/Cr/Ni) | AP(2004)1 |
| Silica Gel | Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Platinum Catalyst Residues | LFGB §30-33 |
Step 2: Migration Test Conditions
- Simulant Selection (Based on EU 10/2011 Annex III):
- Oily Foods → Isooctane or Ethanol (95%)
- Acidic/Aqueous Foods → 3% acetic acid, 10% ethanol
- Time-Temperature Settings:
- Room temperature storage → 10 days (40°C)
- High temperature use (e.g., heat-resistant oil pot) → 2 hours (70°C-175°C, depending on actual use)
Step 3: Laboratory Testing and Report Generation
1. Commission an Accredited Laboratory
- Select an organization with EU member state accreditation (e.g., ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation) (Dezewei Testing CNAS Registration Number: L8083).
2. Test Report Content Requirements:
- Product Identification: Material Composition, Batch Number, Food Contact Type
- Test Conditions: Simulated Fluid, Temperature, Time
- Result Data: Migration Value (mg/kg) vs. Limit Value (e.g., OM Limit 10 mg/dm²)
- Conclusion Statement: Clarify Compliance with EC 1935/2004 and Related Regulations
III. Preparation of Technical Documents (Including Test Report)
| Document Type | Key Contents | Purpose |
| Test Report | Raw Laboratory Data, Compliance Conclusion | Demonstration of Safety |
| Declaration of Conformity (DoC) | Manufacturer Information, Product Scope, List of Compliance Regulations | Legal Commitments |
| Supporting Documents | Raw Material Safety Data Sheet, Production Process Description | Traceability Basis |
IV. Common Compliance Risks and Mitigation Strategies
1. Exceeding Migration Limit
- Countermeasures: Optimize material formulation (e.g., reduce plasticizers), add barrier coating.
2. Missing Labels
- Mandatory Labeling:
- "Food Contact" Symbol (fork in a wine glass ️)
- Conditions of Use (e.g., temperature range)
- Manufacturer's Name/Address (Regulation EU 2020/1245)
3. Ignoring Excipients
- Oiler seals and printing inks require separate testing (e.g., for UV inks, pay attention to photoinitiator migration).
