Thermos Cups EU Certification (EU) No. 10/201

In the thermos cup industry, products exported to the EU must comply with the stringent Food Contact Materials (FCM) Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 to ensure they do not pose any risks to human health during use.

JJR LAB Testing Equipment

1. Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES)

Detects heavy metal migration (Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr, etc.) with high precision. Suitable for stainless steel, ceramic coatings, silicone, plastic, and other materials.

2. X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (XRF)

Rapidly analyzes elemental composition, commonly used in RoHS compliance testing. Detects lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), and more.

3. Infrared Carbon-Sulfur Analyzer

Determines carbon and sulfur content in stainless steel. Carbon content affects hardness and corrosion resistance (e.g., 440C stainless steel: 0.9–1.2% carbon, high hardness but lower corrosion resistance than 304). Precision up to ±0.0001%.

4. Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)

Detects volatile organic compounds (e.g., plasticizers, adhesives), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and organic substances migrating into food simulants (plasticizers, solvent residues, etc.).

5. Electric Blast Drying Oven

Provides controlled temperature conditions for immersion testing (e.g., 3% acetic acid) and migration testing with food simulants (olive oil, ethanol, water). Ensures strict adherence to test protocols.

6. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR)

Identifies plastics and silicone materials (e.g., PP, PE, food-grade silicone) by analyzing infrared spectrum characteristics. Helps confirm compliance with food-contact material requirements.
