Export silicone products should strictly control the total migration

Recently, the Yinzhou Inspection and Quarantine Bureau detected that the total migration of silicone kitchenware exported by a certain enterprise exceeded the standard. The European Union has inspected and notified my country's exported silicone kitchen utensils for many times this year. The reason is that the total migration volume is high. The hygiene and safety of exported silicone products needs to be paid great attention by relevant enterprises.

The inspectors of the bureau and laboratory experts conducted a special investigation on enterprises and found that there are three main reasons for the unqualified hygienic indicators of exported silicone products: First, the quality control of raw materials is not strict, and some enterprises use low-quality silicone materials for The production of food contact products, or the use of unqualified color glue for coloring in the production process, causes the hygienic index of the molded product to exceed the standard; secondly, due to the particularity of the raw materials, the silicone products have higher requirements on the production process control, especially after the product is formed. Sufficient baking time is needed to remove volatile substances. In order to pursue production efficiency, some enterprises package the finished products into boxes before reaching the specified baking time, resulting in the detection of total migration exceeding the standard. The European Union and other countries require product testing to be carried out in accordance with the strictest conditions of use that can be foreseen, while some exporting companies only produce based on customer samples, and do not pay enough attention to the use and conditions of use of the products, resulting in "qualified" products still being notified. risks of.

In view of this, the inspection and quarantine department recommends: manufacturers should strengthen the management of the quality control of raw and auxiliary materials of silicone products enterprises, strengthen management by strengthening the construction of archives and production system, and formulate a standardized inspection system for incoming materials; enterprises should strengthen process quality control, especially It is necessary to bake the finished product for a sufficient time to remove volatile substances; strengthen the interpretation and standard training of domestic and foreign technical regulations and standards for business leaders and technical personnel. At the same time, enterprises should also strengthen communication with foreign trade companies or customers, understand the use and sales market of products, and improve the quality of exported silicone products.
