EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of NF D25-501-1 test. NF D25-501-1 is a French standard that provides a method for determining the release of lead and cadmium from ceramic articles in contact with food. Specifically, this standard focuses on silicatic surfaces, which are surfaces made from silica-based materials such as ceramics.
The purpose of this standard is to ensure that ceramic utensils used for food contact do not release levels of lead or cadmium harmful to food. Lead and cadmium are toxic heavy metals that can cause a range of health problems if ingested in large quantities, so it's important to regulate their presence in food contact materials.
The standard outlines a test procedure that involves exposing ceramic articles to an acidic solution that simulates food contact conditions. The solution is then analyzed for the presence of lead and cadmium using atomic absorption spectrometry.
The results of this test are used to determine whether a ceramic ware meets the lead and cadmium release requirements set out in European Union regulations. If the item passes the test, it can be used for food contact, making sure that it will not pose a risk to human health.
In general, NF D25-501-1 is an important standard for ensuring the safety of ceramic articles used for food contact. By providing a reliable test method for the release of lead and cadmium, this standard helps protect consumers from exposure to harmful heavy metals in their food.
