Testing of Ceramic Materials for Food Contact

Ceramic materials and food contact materials, abbreviated as "FCM", refer to ceramic tableware and kitchenware that come into contact with food during normal use of the product, such as ceramic cups, ceramic bowls and spoons, ceramic pots, ceramic plates and other food containers. RTS can provide support to retailers, manufacturers, and purchasers to ensure that the quality of your products meets the requirements of the entire supply chain.

Service Background

The traditional concept of ceramics refers to all artificial industrial products made from inorganic non - metallic minerals such as clay. It includes various products made from clay or mixtures containing clay through mixing, shaping, and calcination. The firing and application of ceramic tableware have a long history in China. With diverse shapes, colorful appearances, cool and smooth handfeel, and easy - to - clean features, they are deeply loved by the Chinese people.

The RTS laboratory will conduct (simulant) tests on ceramic tableware by simulating actual use conditions to check whether there are substances that can migrate into food, affect human health, change food composition, or change the sensory characteristics of food.
