🏆 1. Food Contact Safety Certification
This certification is very basic and mandatory. Otherwise, if a certificate mentions its food contact safe means that the materials of the container have been tested very strictly to make sure nothing toxic can be released to the food, like:
- Heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.)
- Organic solvent residues
- Plasticizers (like phthalates)
International standards include EU EN 1186/1935/10 and U.S FDA 21 CFR. Xinghui’s food storage containers have passed food contact tests and are suitable for acidic, oily, and hot foods.
🧪 2. FDA Certification (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)
Obtaining FDA certification indicates that a product meets the strict U.S. requirements for food contact materials and is recognized in dozens of countries worldwide. This is especially crucial for export businesses and an important indicator of whether plastic containers can safely enter the European and American markets.
Xinghui’s food container products have passed FDA testing and can be safely used for both household and commercial purposes.
♻️ 3. LFGB Certification (German Food and Feed Code)
LFGB is Germany’s strict food safety certification system, requiring high standards for odor, migration levels, and material composition of plastics. This certification is particularly valued in European and American markets.
Products with LFGB certification are more suitable for odor-sensitive foods such as milk, coffee, and spices.
🌡️ 4. Heat & Cold Resistance Certification
Different usage environments determine a container’s temperature tolerance. Heat and cold resistance certification tests whether containers remain stable under high-temperature microwaving and freezing conditions, without deformation or harmful substance release.
Common standards include:
- Microwave-safe
- Freezer-safe
- Dishwasher-safe
Xinghui plastic storage containers offer a temperature resistance range from -20°C to +120°C, meeting various daily kitchen and catering needs.
🧼 5. BPA-Free Certification
Bisphenol A (BPA) is believed to potentially interfere with the human endocrine system. So many “BPA-Free” plastics exist that are supposed to be healthier for you than regular plastic.
All food containers of Xinghui are made of raw material plastic and are safe together, contain no BPA, which is more applicable for children, pregnant women, and conscientious people who care for their health.
📦 6. ISO 9001 Quality Management System Certification
ISO 9001 is an internationally known and prestigious certification for a quality management system. This system establishes the guidelines for a standard and traceable quality check system right from product design to production, inspection of the final product, and logistic tracking.
Xinghui has been certified by ISO 9001, which ensures consistent product quality, batch-to-batch, and reliability over time. It’s beneficial for Jobbers looking to create mutual partnerships and configure inventory efficiently.
🌍 7. REACH / RoHS Environmental Compliance Certification
The two most important environmental standards of the EU are REACH & ROHS:
REACH: Registration, Evaluation, Authorization & Restriction of Chemicals that ensures materials do not contain highly harmful chemicals.
RoHS: Restriction on the use of hazardous substances like Lead, Mercury, Hexavalent chromium.
For eco-minded customers and companies exporting across borders(REACH particularly), these certifications are very convincing.
