Migration testing is now a necessity for manufacturers who want to sell safe, compliant, and high-quality products in domestic and global markets. Whether you produce food-contact materials, toys, packaging, or consumer products, ensuring that no harmful chemicals transfer from your materials into food, liquids, saliva, sweat, or the environment is essential. Krishna Metallurgical Laboratories offers advanced migration testing that helps brands achieve full compliance and deliver products that customers can trust.
With strict international regulations and increasing global scrutiny on chemical safety, migration testing has become one of the most important steps in the product approval process. As an industry-focused and quality-driven laboratory, Krishna Metallurgical Laboratories provides reliable testing aligned with major regulatory standards such as:
- ISO 8124-3 – For migration of certain elements in toys
- EN 71-3 – European standard for heavy metal migration in toys
- IS 9845 – Indian standard for overall migration in plastics for food contact
These standards ensure that your materials do not release harmful elements such as lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic, or other toxic substances when subjected to real-world use.
Why Migration Testing Is Critical for Your Products
1. Protect Consumer Health
Materials may contain colorants, stabilizers, monomers, additives, or contaminants that can migrate into food, oils, saliva, sweat, or water. Migration testing ensures these substances remain within safe limits and do not pose health risks.
2. Meet Global Market Requirements
If you plan to export your products, compliance with standards like EN 71-3, ISO 8124-3, and IS 9845 is not optional—it’s mandatory. These tests allow smooth customs clearance and prevent product rejections.
3. Strengthen Brand Reputation
Consumers choose products they can trust. Migration testing helps you prove that your materials are safe, reliable, and manufactured responsibly.
4. Avoid Costly Recalls and Penalties
Identifying chemical risks early saves manufacturers from expensive withdrawals, legal issues, and damage to brand credibility.
