Tableware Product Testing

Tableware is closely related to our daily lives. If ceramic products contain excessive amounts of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium in their glaze, these substances can enter the body through food and accumulate over time, posing serious health risks—particularly affecting children's IQ development. To protect consumer health, various countries have enacted strict regulations limiting the release of lead and cadmium in tableware. As a result, compliance with these lead and cadmium release standards has become a crucial factor for international buyers when selecting products.

KEYS provides professional services to test and analyze your tableware according to international standards. We issue formal reports to help you determine whether your products meet safety requirements, enabling you to identify and address potential issues early. This proactive approach helps prevent financial and reputational losses caused by non-compliance.

Service Background

In recent years, the quality and safety of kitchenware and tableware was a major concern for consumers. Countries such as those in Europe and North America have introduced increasingly stringent laws and regulations to enhance oversight. To eliminate quality risks, China’s national standards for kitchenware and tableware have also been continuously refined over the years, covering a broader range of products.

KEYS specializes in full lifecycle quality control for kitchenware and tableware products. We offer comprehensive, one-stop quality management solutions across the entire supply chain, including raw material selection, initial production, processing and packaging, storage and transportation, distribution and retail, as well as import and export compliance. This ensures that enterprises can uphold their commitment to product safety.
