Testing and Compliance: What Has Been Tested, on Which Specimen
Two third-party reports cover Jirun's tableware. GST (report RGST25103112005, Nov 2025) found no pentachlorophenol or formaldehyde migration in a bagasse tableware body; its PFAS and LFGB results apply to a transparent pet lid, not the bagasse body. Hunan Zhongjiantong Testing Co., Ltd. (report ZJTD75867NH565, Oct 2025) tested a 22 × 16 × 4 cm moulded pulp 2-compartment container in the fluorinated grade, which is not supplied to the EU or UK, to Chinese standards GB/T 36787 and GB 4806.8, and every item passed. The fluorine-free bagasse body has not yet been tested for total fluorine or PFAS.
Test results, by specimen
Only reports where Jirun is both applicant and manufacturer are listed. Read the Specimen column before the Result column: a result applies to that specimen only. Each report number opens the original PDF.

Ask about testingRules buyers ask about
EU: PPWR Article 5 (PFAS)
Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste limits PFAS in food-contact packaging placed on the EU market since 12 August 2026: 25 ppb for any single PFAS, 250 ppb for the sum of PFAS and 50 ppm for total PFAS including polymeric PFAS. Status for Jirun: the fluorine-free bagasse body has not yet been tested for total fluorine or targeted PFAS.
EU: Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004
The framework regulation for all food-contact materials. Article 3 requires that a material does not transfer its constituents to food in quantities that could endanger health, change the food's composition unacceptably or affect its taste and smell. There is no harmonised EU measure specific to paper and moulded fibre, so buyers usually ask for testing against national provisions.
Germany: BfR Recommendation XXXVI
The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment's recommendation for paper and board in food contact. It is the reference most EU buyers use for fibre-based packaging in the absence of a harmonised EU measure. Status for Jirun: the fluorine-free bagasse body has not yet been tested to BfR XXXVI.
United Kingdom
Great Britain keeps Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 as assimilated law, enforced through the Materials and Articles in Contact with Food Regulations. The PPWR does not apply in Great Britain, but UK buyers commonly ask for the same PFAS documentation. We supply only the fluorine-free grade to the UK.

Questions about testing and compliance
Which tests have been carried out on Jirun's bagasse tableware?
GST report RGST25103112005 (Nov 2025) tested a bagasse tableware body: Pentachlorophenol (PCP) content, ISO 15320 — not detected (mdl 0.1 mg/kg); Specific migration of formaldehyde, 3% acetic acid 40 °C 0.5 h — not detected (mdl 0.1 mg/kg). Other results in that report apply to a transparent pet lid, not to the bagasse body.
Has the bagasse body been tested for PFAS?
Not yet. The PFAS results in report RGST25103112005 are for the transparent pet lid specimen only. The fluorine-free bagasse body has not yet been tested for total fluorine or EN 17681-1 PFAS; buyers can commission that testing at their own cost. The fluorine-free grade uses a wax-emulsion grease barrier with no fluorochemicals added.
Can you test bagasse tableware at a laboratory I nominate?
Yes. Testing to buyer specifications is available on request, including at a laboratory you nominate and before mass production; the testing cost is paid by the buyer. Tell us the target market and the tests you need.
Can the test report be issued in my company name?
Whether a test report can be issued with the buyer as applicant depends on the laboratory and the test, and is confirmed case by case. Ask us when you request testing.
Is Jirun's bagasse tableware certified compostable?
No. Jirun does not currently hold an EN 13432 or OK compost certificate, so we do not describe the products as compostable. If your market needs that certificate, tell us and we will confirm what testing would be required.
