Also Known As:
The criteria for gold-plated cutlery and table hollowware that comes into contact with food are the topic of the DIN EN ISO 8442-4 standard. This standard strives to guarantee that the gold plating applied to these objects complies with specific requirements.
The standard outlines how gold deposits should be defined for each item as well as the precise test procedures that should be followed to evaluate the gold plating's quality and conformance. This involves assessing elements including thickness, adhesion, and corrosion resistance.
The standard guarantees that gold-plated cutlery used in food handling and consumption complies with specific quality and safety criteria by laying forth these requirements. It offers a framework for producers to create gold-plated cutlery that is safe for use with food, offering customers assurance in the dependability and safety of these goods.
