Updated by SFA The Singapore Food Regulations do not stipulate the testing methods for food containers/packaging.
For testing methods, laboratories may use internationally recognised official analytical methods such as AOAC method or FAO method or a method that has been verified in collaborative trials. Methods adopted from published papers or in-house laboratory methods that have been fully validated are also acceptable.
You can approach the accredited laboratories listed in the Singapore Accreditation Council-Singapore Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (SAC-SINGLAS) for the testing of your products. The list of laboratories is available at the Singapore Accreditation Council's website(Select Calibration and Testing Laboratories & Select "Chemical and Biological" in the "Field").
