Milosilicone is proud to hold certifications from ISO9001, BSCI, and FDA, affirming our commitment to excellence. We maintain a stringent quality control principle, striving for a final product rejection rate of less than 2%.
Certification Requirements for Exporting Silicone Products
Exporting silicone products often requires various certifications to ensure compliance with international standards and regulations. Key certifications include:
1. FDA / LFGB: These certifications are crucial for products that come into contact with food. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) certification pertains to U.S. regulations, while LFGB (Lebensmittel- und Futtermittelgesetzbuch) is the European standard. Both certifications serve different regulatory frameworks but focus on ensuring that materials are safe for food contact.
2. ROHS: The ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) report is an environmental standard that tests for six heavy metals: lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). This certification ensures that products do not contain hazardous substances above specified limits.
3. PAHs: PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) testing assesses the presence of these harmful substances, which are generated from the incomplete combustion of organic materials. Some PAHs, such as benzo(a)pyrene, are known carcinogens and are monitored to prevent their presence in products due to their environmental and health impacts.
4. REACH: The REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation is a comprehensive EU directive requiring the registration of chemicals and assessment of their risks. Unlike ROHS, REACH covers a broader range of chemicals and mandates that new materials or technologies be thoroughly evaluated for safety before use.
5. MSDS: The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides detailed safety instructions, including the chemical safety coefficients, technical education, and data on handling and emergency procedures for chemicals used in products.
6. ISO9001: This certification signifies adherence to a quality management system that ensures consistent quality and continuous improvement in manufacturing processes. It covers various aspects such as product quality, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency, demonstrating a commitment to delivering high-quality products.
These certifications are crucial for ensuring that silicone products meet regulatory standards and are safe and reliable for their intended uses in various markets.
