In modern catering and household life, food contact materials (FCM) - including tableware, packaging and containers - directly impact consumer health through material migration. According to international food safety standards, all materials potentially contacting food must undergo rigorous testing to prevent harmful substance migration. Professional FCM testing evaluates chemical stability under various conditions (e.g., high temperature, acidic environments) to prevent heavy metals, plasticizers and other hazardous components from leaching into food. Today, Huabiao Testing explains FCM testing and recommends professional testing agencies in Ningbo.
What is FCM Testing?
FCM (Food Contact Materials) testing refers to comprehensive safety evaluations for materials directly or indirectly contacting food. Key global standards include:
EU: (EC) No 1935/2004 framework regulation + material-specific standards
USA: FDA 21 CFR regulations
China: GB 4806 series national standards
These standards define test methods, migration limits, and compliance criteria to ensure global food safety.
Testing Scope
