GOST 30407-96 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 30407-96 — "Tableware and decorative articles of glass. General specifications". The standard contains general technical requirements, marking, test methods and safety limits for glass and crystal tableware and decorative glassware.

Abstract

This interstate (GOST) standard establishes general technical conditions for the manufacture, acceptance, marking, packaging and testing of glass and crystal tableware and decorative articles. It includes provisions on materials, dimensional and appearance tolerances, requirements for decorative finishes, and limits for migration of toxic elements (lead, cadmium) in food-contact glass where applicable. The standard references ISO 7086 (parts 1 and 2) for migration testing.

Scope

Applies to glass and crystal tableware and decorative glass articles intended for household and similar use. The standard does not apply to souvenir items, sculptures and commemorative medals. It covers requirements for materials and manufacture, appearance and dimensional tolerances, safety (including migration limits for lead and cadmium for food-contact surfaces), marking, packing and acceptance testing.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of tableware and decorative glass articles.
• Material and composition requirements for glass and crystal products, including references to crystal lead oxide content where relevant.
• Dimensional and appearance tolerances (shape, thickness, visual defects) and accepted quality classes.
• Requirements for decorative finishes, coatings and gilding; limitations for decoration on food-contact surfaces.
• Limits and test methods for migration of lead and cadmium from glass into food simulants (references to ISO 7086-1 and ISO 7086-2).
• Marking, labeling and packing requirements for safe transport, storage and consumer information.
• Acceptance sampling, test procedures and criteria for conformity assessment.

Typical use and users

Used by glassware manufacturers, quality and production engineers, testing laboratories, conformity assessment and certification bodies, importers/exporters, product designers and procurement specialists who need to ensure that glass tableware and decorative items meet established technical and safety requirements. Also used by regulatory authorities overseeing consumer safety for food-contact materials.

Related standards

References and related documents include ISO 7086-1 and ISO 7086-2 (lead and cadmium migration test methods and limits), GOST standards on specific glass product types and measurements, and later national GOST revision GOST 30407-2019 which supersedes this edition. Earlier standards replaced by 30407-96 include older GOSTs for certain glassware items (for example GOST 26821-86 / 26822-86 in related categories).
