Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Cutlery and table holloware - Part 3: Requirements for silver-plated table and decorative holloware (ISO 8442-3:1997)

This part of this European Standard specifies material, performance requirements and test methods for silver-plated table and decorative holloware made principally from metals, and intended for use at or upon the dining table. Composition limits are specified for the basic metals for fabrication of the holloware prior to silver-plating.

Werkstoffe und Gegenstände in Kontakt mit Lebensmitteln - Schneidwaren und Tafelgeräte - Teil 3: Anforderungen für versilberte Tafelgeräte und dekorative Hohlwaren (ISO 8442-3:1997)

Dieser Teil der Europäischen Norm legt die Werkstoff- und Gebrauchsanforderungen sowie die Prüfverfahren für versilberte Tafelgeräte und dekorative Hohlwaren fest, die prinzipiell aus Metall hergestellt und für den Gebrauch an oder auf dem Eßtisch vorgesehen sind. Die Grenzwerte für die Zusammensetzung der Grundmetalle für die Herstellung der Gegenstände sind vor der Versilberung festgelegt.

La présente partie de la norme prescrit les exigences afférentes aux matériaux constitutifs et aux performances des articles d'orfèvrerie de table et décorative en métal argenté, fabriqués principalement à partir de métaux et destinés à être utilisés à table ou sur une table, ainsi que les méthodes d'essai. Des valeurs limites de composition sont fixées pour les métaux de base entrant dans la fabrication des articles d'orfèvrerie avant revêtement d'argent. La présente norme s'applique également aux objets décoratifs, tels que les vases et les trophées, et à d'autres articles tels que les pots, plats, théières et cafetières, plateaux et soupières, bougeoirs, seaux à champagne, etc. Les diverses exigences portent sur les articles d'orfèvrerie en laiton, cuivre, maillechort, étain et acier inoxydable, revêtus d'argent, ainsi que sur les accessoires coulés en métal argenté qui y sont associés. Les différentes épaisseurs des revêtements d'argent sont classées dans trois catégories : classes I, II et III. Ces revêtements peuvent également être protégés par une couche de vernis. La présente norme n'est applicable ni aux articles d'orfèvrerie entièrement fabriqués en métaux précieux, laiton, maillechort, étain, acier inoxydable, ni ceux fabriqués en céramique ou en verre.

Overview

EN ISO 8442-3:1997 - "Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Cutlery and table holloware - Part 3: Requirements for silver-plated table and decorative holloware" (CEN) defines material and performance requirements and test methods for silver‑plated tableware. The standard covers silver‑plated table and decorative holloware made mainly from metals and intended for use at or upon the dining table. It also specifies composition limits for the base metals before silver‑plating to ensure suitability for food contact.

Key topics and requirements

  • Material composition limits: Specifies acceptable basic metal compositions for items before plating to reduce corrosion and contamination risk.
  • Silver‑plating quality: Requirements for the plated layer related to uniformity, adhesion and long‑term performance (durability in normal use).
  • Performance and durability: Criteria for resistance to wear, tarnishing and corrosion under expected dining and cleaning conditions.
  • Test methods: Standardized tests to verify plating adhesion, mechanical robustness and performance in simulated use; methods ensure consistent verification across manufacturers and test labs.
  • Food contact safety: Requirements intended to prevent adverse interactions between foodstuffs and plated metal surfaces, supporting hygienic use at the dining table.

(Note: EN ISO 8442-3 provides the specification scope and test method types; consult the full standard for detailed procedures and numerical limits.)

Applications

  • Manufacturers of silver‑plated tableware and decorative holloware use this standard to design and validate products for dining and decorative use.
  • Quality assurance and compliance teams rely on EN ISO 8442-3 to set production controls, inspection criteria and acceptance testing.
  • Test laboratories apply the standard’s methods to certify plating adhesion, corrosion resistance and overall performance.
  • Retailers, hospitality purchasers and procurement specialists use compliance with this standard as a purchasing criterion for safe, durable plated flatware and holloware.
  • Regulatory bodies and conformity assessment organizations reference it when assessing food contact material safety.

Who should use this standard

  • Metalware and silver‑plating manufacturers
  • Product designers and material engineers for tableware
  • QA/QC managers and compliance officers in food contact goods
  • Accredited testing labs and certification bodies
  • Procurement teams in hospitality, catering and retail

Related standards

  • Other parts of the EN ISO 8442 series covering cutlery and table holloware provide complementary requirements for non‑plated and different material categories.
  • Look for regional CEN/ISO publications and national adoptions (e.g., EN ISO versions) for local implementation details.
