** introduction to German LFGB(LMBG) certification **
In September 2005, Germany's new food and diet law, LFGB, replaced the food and household law, LMBG.
It is also known as the food, tobacco products, cosmetics and other daily necessities management act, which is the most important basic legal document for food hygiene management in Germany. The regulations make general and fundamental provisions on all aspects of German food, and all food products in the German market must comply with the basic provisions above. If the articles of daily use that come into contact with food pass the test and conform to article 30 and article 31 of the food and daily use law of Germany, the LFGB test report issued by the authorized institution can prove to be "products without toxic chemical substances" and can be sold in the German market. The meaning of the knife and fork logo is a food safety logo. In daily necessities that come into contact with food, if there is a knife and fork mark, it means that the product has passed the test and met many German and European standards, met the requirements of German LFGB regulations, proved to be free of toxic substances harmful to human body, and can be sold in Germany and other European and American markets. In the European market, products with knife and fork logo can enhance customers' confidence and purchasing desire, which is a powerful marketing tool and greatly increases the competitiveness of products in the market. LFGB test covers all materials, including products produced with the latest technology, such as: chrome coating of grill, temperature resistance test of cooking pan teflon coating, silicone seal ring test in kettle, etc. The fields commonly involved include: ceramics, synthetic plastics, polyvinyl chloride, plasticizers, paper products, leather, textiles, cosmetics, tobacco and so on.
