Metal containers refer to containers made of metal sheets, which have good sealing, corrosion resistance, pressure resistance, high temperature resistance, and are widely used in fields such as food, chemical, and pharmaceutical. French DGCCRF food contact materials refer to materials certified by the French Food Grade Safety Regulations (DGCCRF) and can be used in the manufacturing of products in contact with food.

The French DGCCRF food contact material testing program for metal containers includes comprehensive migration testing, specific migration testing, transferable or volatile organic compound testing, peroxide value testing, and testing for heavy metals that can be precipitated. These testing projects aim to ensure the safety of metal containers during food contact and protect consumer health. Please note that the specific testing items and requirements may vary depending on the material and purpose of the metal container.

The testing process for DGCCRF food contact materials in metal containers in France generally includes the following steps:

1. Submit application: Submit a testing application to DGCCRF, along with product related information and samples.

2. Sample evaluation: After receiving the sample, DGCCRF will conduct a preliminary evaluation to determine the suitability and testing requirements of the sample.

3. Selection of testing items: Select appropriate food contact material testing items based on the characteristics and uses of metal containers.

4. Conduct testing: Conduct testing in a laboratory recognized by DGCCRF, which may include migration testing, heavy metal testing, etc.

5. Issuance of testing report: After the laboratory completes the testing, a testing report will be issued, listing the various testing results.

6. Audit and certification: DGCCRF will review the testing report and issue corresponding certification if the product meets the standards for food contact materials.
