ISO 7086-2:2000 PDF Download

A standard called ISO 7086-2:2000 focuses on the permitted upper limits for lead and cadmium releases from glass hollowware that comes into contact with food. Glass hollowware used for food preparation, cooking, serving, and storage falls under the purview of this standard. It should be emphasized that this guideline does not apply to glass flatware, glass ceramic ware, or any other items used in the production or sale of food.

ISO 7086-2:2000 restricts the quantity of lead and cadmium that can be discharged from glass hollowware in order to ensure the safety of these goods when they come into contact with food. To reduce the potential negative effects of certain heavy metals on human health, these limitations are based on scientific research and accepted health guidelines.
