For food cling film to undergo French DGCCRF food contact material testing, certain steps and regulations need to be followed to ensure that it meets the safety regulations of the French market.
General process of French DGCCRF testing:
1. Understand regulations and standards: First of all, you need to have an in-depth understanding of the French DGCCRF regulations and standards on food contact materials, including material composition restrictions, production process supervision, product labeling and instructions for use, etc.
2. Prepare samples: Prepare food plastic wrap samples that meet the requirements of French DGCCRF. These samples should represent actual product in production and comply with all relevant manufacturing standards and regulations.
3. Select a testing agency: Choose a testing agency accredited by the French DGCCRF. These institutions usually have professional testing equipment and personnel to ensure the accuracy and reliability of testing.
4. Submit application: Submit a testing application to the testing agency, and attach detailed information about the product, such as ingredients, manufacturing process, usage, etc. At the same time, samples need to be provided for testing.
5. Conduct testing: The testing agency will conduct various tests on the food plastic wrap in accordance with the requirements of the French DGCCRF. These tests may include compositional analysis of the material, migration testing (assessing whether substances in the material will migrate into food), toxicity testing, etc. In addition, the plastic wrap may need to be tested for its heat resistance, cold resistance, and other physical properties.
6. Obtain the test report: After the test is completed, the testing agency will issue a test report detailing the test results. These results will be used to evaluate whether food plastic wrap meets the requirements of the French DGCCRF.
7. Audit and certification: If the food plastic wrap passes all tests and meets the requirements of the French DGCCRF, the testing agency will issue the corresponding certification certificate. This certificate is an important proof that the product can be sold legally in the French market.
