Certifications and test reports
Jiangxi Pinhui Packing Products Co., Ltd does not hold a management-system or product certificate for hair foil at present, and this site shows no certificate marks. Where a buyer or a market needs one, third-party testing to that standard is arranged for the order and its report sent to you.
Certificates
We hold no certificate for hair foil at present: no management-system certificate whose scope covers the hair foil line, and no product certificate. We say so rather than show the mark of a certificate held for other products, because a certificate proves only what its scope says.
What we can do is test. Where your market, your marketplace or your own buyers ask for a test to a named standard, we arrange it with a third-party laboratory for your order and send you the report. Tell us the standard with your quote request.
Test reports
A laboratory report describes one sample tested against one standard, and proves nothing about other products. When a test is arranged for your order, the report names the sample that was sent, so that you can see it was your product.
| Kind of test | What it shows | What it does not show |
|---|---|---|
| Food-contact migration | What passes from the foil into food | That the foil suits salon use |
| Chemical content, such as heavy metals | What the material contains | How the product performs |
| Application test, such as ink against bleach | How the product behaves in use, under the conditions tested | How it behaves under other conditions |
What certification doesn’t mean
Three claims are common in this trade and none of them is what it appears to be.
- “FDA approved.” The FDA does not approve aluminium foil for hair. The phrase has no meaning for this product, and we do not use it.
- “Certified hair foil.” There is no general certification scheme for hair foil. Management-system certificates describe how a factory is run, within a stated scope.
- “Food grade, so safe for hair.” Food-contact compliance describes the material. It says nothing about printing inks in contact with lightener, which is a separate question with its own test: printed hair foil ink vs bleach.
What a buyer of hair foil can usefully ask for is narrower and more concrete: a material certificate for the aluminium, a safety data sheet, the inspection record for the lot, and, for printed foil, a bleach test on the print.
Documents we supply with orders
The documents that travel with a shipment, and those available on request, are listed in documents for importing hair foil. How to read a supplier’s certificates is part of how to choose a hair foil supplier.
FAQ
Is hair foil FDA approved?
No hair foil is "FDA approved". The US Food and Drug Administration does not approve or certify aluminium foil or salon consumables of this kind. A supplier can show that its foil meets food-contact requirements, which describes the material, and can provide a material certificate and a safety data sheet for it.
Does BRC certification cover hair foil?
A BRCGS certificate covers only the products and site named in its scope, so a certificate for food packaging does not cover hair foil unless hair foil is named. Jiangxi Pinhui Packing Products Co., Ltd does not hold a BRCGS certificate for hair foil at present; ask any supplier who shows one to send the certificate and read its scope.
Can you provide an MSDS for hair foil?
Yes. Hair Foil Factory provides a safety data sheet for hair foil on request. Aluminium foil is an article, not a chemical preparation, so the sheet describes the material and its handling; it is the document freight forwarders and marketplaces most often ask for.
Can you provide a material certificate for the aluminium?
Yes. Hair Foil Factory provides a material certificate for the aluminium foil on request. It states the alloy and temper of the foil and comes from the mill that rolled the coil. It can be matched to your order by the lot number.
