Guidelines for Obtaining Reports for Ceramic Plates (GB4806 Food Contact Materials)
Ceramic plates (such as dinner plates, soup plates, decorative plates, etc.) must comply with the GB4806 national food safety standard during sale or production. The following are the key points for obtaining a test report:
I. Applicable Standards
For ceramic plates, the following standards are primarily applied:
GB 4806.1 – General Safety Requirements for Food Contact Materials and Articles
GB 4806.4 – Safety Standard for Ceramic Products
II. Core Testing Items
| Testing Category | Specific Items
| Heavy Metal Leaching | Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd)
| Sensory Requirements | Appearance, Odor
| Additives/Colorants | Glaze, Pigment Migration
Lead and cadmium leaching is a key focus of testing for ceramic plates, especially products with decorative patterns or colored glazes.
III. Application Process
1. Application Submission – Provide product images, material specifications, and details.
2. Sample Submission – Generally, 3-5 finished product samples are required.
3. Laboratory Testing – Immersion leaching test conducted according to GB4806 standard.
4. Report Issuance – A Chinese test report will be issued upon successful submission (DEZEW Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083).
IV. Required Documents
Product Information (Material, Glaze Type, Decoration Process)
Samples (It is recommended to provide one set each of unglazed and glazed samples)
Intended Food Contact Type (Acidic/Alkaline/Neutral)
V. Precautions
Different decorative parts have different testing requirements: The inside of the plate (contact surface) has stricter requirements than the outside (decorative surface).
Sample Solution Selection: Select acidic, alkaline, or alcoholic sample solutions according to the type of food to be contacted.
Testing Cycle: Typically 5-7 working days.
Cost Range: Generally between 800-2000 RMB.
