Comprehensive migration tests: These tests are designed to ensure that silicone products do not release harmful substances when they come into contact with food.

Volatile organic matter content testing: To ensure that the product does not contain harmful volatile organic compounds.

Peroxide value test: A class of chemicals added during the manufacturing process to assess the peroxide content of a product.

Organotin compound testing: to exclude such substances that may pose a hazard to human health.
