Further commodities

Commodities must have special characteristics so that they meet the requirements of consumer protection. With our experts' analysis, consulting and expert reports, we at WESSLING ensure that manufacturers are able to launch their products onto the market in conformity with the legislation.

Commodities prior to the WESSLING analysis process

Not every product that is used in the household is a commodity. They are defined in the food and commodities law. According to Section 2 (6) of the German Food and Feed Code (LFGB), they particularly include products which come into contact with the human body, cosmetic packaging, toys or also care products in addition to objects that come into contact with food.

The WESSLING experts support you, the producer, with precise analysis, competent consulting and expert services so that the commodities you manufacture are safe and do not endanger the health of consumers. We are highly familiar with the legal requirements.

  • Objects that come into contact with food
  • Objects that come into contact with the human body
  • Toys, joke articles
  • Household chemicals

 

Analysis and expert services for commodities

Out experts perform specific analyses, e.g. test chamber investigations, tests for sweat and saliva fastness, for toxins or SVHC (REACh) so that you, the manufacturer, can launch your certified products onto the market safely.

The accreditation of our laboratories to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 ensures that our test results are recognised internationally and meets common conformity requirements.

We are also happy to deliver the required translation of our reports, depending on which documents you require to meet official regulations.

Our experts also ensure that you produce in conformity with the regulations, starting with raw materials. Our product safety specialists prepare expert reports, conformity evaluations, test concepts and official cross checks as required. They base these on the European framework legislation and the German Food and Feed Code (LFGB), which ensures the protection of consumers from fraudulent misrepresentation.
