French DGCCRF food contact material testing refers to the safety and compliance testing of materials that are in direct contact with food. These materials include, but are not limited to, plastics, rubber, ceramics, glass, metals, etc. During the manufacturing and processing of these materials, they must comply with the relevant regulations and standards of the French DGCCRF to ensure that they will not cause food contamination when in contact with food, thereby ensuring people's food safety and health.
If the product fails the French DGCCRF (Direction Générale de la Concurrence, de la Consommation et de la Répression des Fraudes) testing and certification, you can take the following measures:
1. Understand the reasons for failure: First, you need to understand in detail the specific reasons why the product failed to pass the testing and certification. This can usually be found in the inspection report provided by DGCCRF. Common reasons for failure may include products not complying with French technical standards, safety requirements or regulatory requirements.
2. Communicate with certification agencies: Communicate with certification agencies responsible for testing to understand their specific requirements and standards for products. This helps you better understand why the test failed and figure out how to fix the problem.
3. Rectify the product: Make necessary rectifications to the product based on the feedback provided by DGCCRF. This may include improving product design, replacing materials, or improving production processes. Ensure that products technically comply with relevant French standards and requirements.
4. Resubmit the application: After the rectification is completed, you can resubmit the product to apply for DGCCRF testing and certification. Before resubmitting, please ensure that the product has fully complied with the relevant French standards and requirements and have all necessary documents and information ready.
5. Seek professional help: If you encounter difficulties in rectifying your product or resubmitting your application, you may consider seeking professional help. For example, you can consult a professional technical advisor or lawyer to understand the relevant regulations and standards in France and get advice on how to improve your product.
6. Pay attention to regulatory changes: Please note that French regulations and standards may be constantly updated and changed. Before resubmitting your application, please ensure that you are aware of the latest regulatory and standard requirements and that your product complies with these requirements.
