Silicone Tube Application Standards: RoHS, FDA, LFGB & Biocompatibility
Silicone tubes are among the most widely used supporting parts, and have become indispensable in industry, food, medical treatment, biopharmaceuticals, and many other fields.
and in industrial machinery as conveying tubes or protective sleeves.
But how many people really understand their applicable safety standards?
Environmental protection and safety standards for silicone tubes are mainly divided into four grades:
RoHS, FDA, LFGB, and Biocompatibility Report.
Each test covers different items, so their safety levels and applicable scenarios also vary.
1. RoHS Testing (Industrial Grade Silicone Tubes)
lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr⁶⁺), PBBs and PBDEs.
The standard has now been expanded to 10 restricted substances,
adding DBP, BBP, DEHP and HBCDD.
are widely used in machinery, electronics, toys, home appliances and other industrial fields.
2. FDA Testing (Food Grade Silicone Tubes)
tested according to 21 CFR 177.2600.
are mainly used for conveying and connecting food, beverages, drinking water and other edible products.
3. LFGB Testing (Food Grade Silicone Tubes)
It includes sensory tests, total migration, volatile organic compounds, peroxide residues and organotin tests.
since infants have relatively weak immunity.
LFGB is also one of the most popular certifications for products exported to Europe and the United States.
4. Biocompatibility Report (Medical Grade Silicone Tubes)
- Cytotoxicity
- Sensitization
- Skin irritation
- Systemic toxicity
- Hemolysis (blood compatibility)
Conclusion
according to the above standards to meet different certification requirements.
