FDA and LFGB are product test reports. BSCI is a site audit. A glass supplier should not offer one as proof of the other.<\/p>\n

Why Is LFGB the Stricter Test for European Glassware?<\/h2>\n
LFGB is stricter because it combines migration limits with sensory evaluation. Under German LFGB Sections 30 and 31, a glass container must not transfer harmful substances to food and must not change the taste or odor of the contents in a detectable way. A clear Borosilikatglas-Gef\u00e4\u00df<\/a> may pass FDA lead and cadmium limits but still need LFGB testing when it has a wooden or silicone lid. The lid materials matter as much as the glass body.<\/p>\n European importers often ask for LFGB even when the destination is outside Germany, so a single EU-facing product line should carry both the EU declaration and LFGB evidence. In our plant, we keep separate LFGB test files for glass bodies with wood lids and for those with stainless steel lids. That separation matters because the seal, not just the glass, is part of the food contact surface.<\/p>\n s)<\/p>\n BSCI is an amfori social audit, not a product safety test. It reviews employment records, age verification, working hours, health and safety conditions, and fair compensation. A factory that passes BSCI has a documented social management system, which matters for European and North American brands that must answer supplier due diligence questions. It does not tell you whether a glass jar leaches lead.<\/p>\n I have seen buyers request only BSCI and then realize no one checked the lid seal or the paint. That gap is not a certification failure; it is a missing product test. If your product line includes colored glass or painted exteriors, confirm whether the test report covers the decorated surface rather than only clear glass. Send your item specification and target market to business@jianmeiglass.com and I can point you to the applicable test scope.<\/p>\n Start with the report number. The fastest way to spot a weak file is a certificate that lists only a factory name and a standard reference, with no product code. Follow these checks:<\/p>\n Our Jiangsu plant holds more than 120 testing certifications, but a factory-level certificate is not a product-level report. I still trace the specific product code before a buyer approves the order. That way a 500ml borosilicate bottle and a 750ml storage jar do not get filed under the same generic document.<\/p>\n The most common reason a certification file stalls is incomplete product information. A 500ml Glas-Wasserflasche<\/a> with a stainless steel lid has a different compliance profile than a 750ml storage jar with a bamboo lid. Send the item code, capacity, lid material, decoration method, and target market. That lets the compliance team match the correct FDA or LFGB test report instead of sending a generic document.<\/p>\n For our production, I ask buyers to send the same details before quoting because they affect mold availability, seal compatibility, and test scope. Send your product list and target market to business@jianmeiglass.com. If you prefer to confirm by phone, include a callback number and I will have the technical team walk you through the applicable test set.<\/p>\n No. FDA test reports satisfy US food contact requirements, but most EU importers ask for LFGB or an EU declaration of compliance. The two systems use different migration tests and assessment limits. Some products pass both without issue, but an FDA report does not create a shortcut for LFGB. Before ordering for Germany or another EU market, confirm which standard the importer requires. If you are clearing the same glass jar for US and EU shelves, request both reports up front to avoid a second sampling round.<\/p>\n A BSCI certificate looks like a product safety document, but it is not. BSCI is an amfori social audit covering labor rights, working hours, health and safety, and fair compensation. It does not test glass for lead, cadmium, or any migration risk. A factory can pass BSCI and still produce an item with a non-compliant lid seal or a painted exterior that fails LFGB. Treat BSCI as a supplier governance record. Treat FDA or LFGB test reports as your product safety record. For a complete file, you need both.<\/p>\n It depends on how the supplier manages the product family. If the glass composition, product shape, capacity, lid material, and decoration process are identical, a report may cover a family. If the capacity changes or the lid uses a different seal, the migration test may need to be repeated. A change in color or painted decoration is a common reason a report no longer applies. Ask the supplier to state the covered item numbers in writing. Do not accept a generic factory certificate as proof for an entire catalog.<\/p>\n In our plant, we keep test files by product code and material version, so a buyer can trace the exact report for a 500ml borosilicate bottle or a 750ml glass jar. Compare the product reference on the report with the item you are ordering. Ask for the issue date, the testing standard, and the lab name. Then confirm the product code matches the invoice before shipment. If your program uses multiple related items, share the full list and we can confirm which reports apply.<\/p>\n Wenn Sie daran interessiert sind, sollten Sie sich diese verwandten Artikel ansehen:<\/p>\n Leitfaden f\u00fcr Importeure: Edelstahl- vs. Glasflaschen \u2013 Lieferanten\u00fcbersicht<\/a> Glass supplier certifications are not interchangeable.
