Glass tea cups need to undergo French DGCCRF food contact material testing. This is because glass tea cups are containers in direct contact with food, and their safety and compliance are crucial to ensuring people's food safety and health.


Glass tea cup French DGCCRF testing project

1. Regular items:

Sensory requirements: Evaluate the performance of the tea cup in terms of appearance, color, smell, etc. to ensure that it will not have adverse effects on food.

Total Migration: The total amount of chemicals that may migrate into food when the test glass tea cup comes into contact with food.

Potassium Permanganate Consumption: Evaluate the chemical stability of teacups, specifically their ability to react with oxidizing agents such as potassium permanganate.

Heavy metals (calculated as Pb): Detect the heavy metals that may be present in the teacup, especially the content of lead, because excessive heavy metals may cause harm to health.

2. Specific migration:

Migration of heavy metals such as lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), zinc (Zn): these heavy metals are an important concern for food safety and require Ensure that they do not migrate to excessive amounts under specific conditions.

Migration of formaldehyde, phenol, aromatic amines, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride and other chemical substances: These chemicals may have adverse effects on human health and therefore need to be strictly controlled.

3. Microbial indicators:

Coliforms: Assess tea cups for microbial contamination during production, storage, and transportation.

Pathogenic bacteria (such as Shigella, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, Hemolytic Streptococcus, etc.): These pathogenic bacteria can cause serious health problems and require rigorous testing.

Mold: Evaluate the teacup’s anti-mold properties to ensure that it will not grow mold during use.

4. Other projects:

Fluorescent substances: Evaluate whether the teacup contains fluorescent substances that may have adverse effects on the human body.

Decolorization test: Test the color stability of the tea cup under specific conditions to evaluate whether it will cause food contamination.

Loss on drying, residue on ignition, n-hexane extract, etc.: these tests evaluate the chemical stability and purity of the teacup.

Glass tea cup French DGCCRF inspection process:

1. Provide product information: First, you need to provide detailed information about the glass tea cup, including product instructions, material description, production process, etc. This information will help DGCCRF understand the characteristics of the product and the testing items that may be involved.

2. Determine test items: Based on product information, DGCCRF will determine which specific test items need to be carried out. These test items may include comprehensive migration testing, heavy metal migration testing, migration testing of specific chemical substances, etc.

3. Fill in the application form: After determining the test items, you need to fill in the DGCCRF testing application form. The application form should include detailed information about the product, the items applied for testing, the applicant’s contact information, etc.

4. Send samples: Send the glass tea cup samples to be tested to the laboratory designated by DGCCRF. Please ensure that the sample is consistent with the product in the actual application and that the quantity is sufficient to perform all necessary testing.

5. Laboratory testing: After receiving the samples, the laboratory will test the samples in accordance with the testing methods and standards specified by DGCCRF. The testing process may take some time, depending on the number and complexity of test items.

6. Issue a test report: After the test is completed, the laboratory will issue a detailed test report. The report will list the test results of all test items and whether they comply with the relevant standards and requirements of DGCCRF.

Review and confirmation: If the test report shows that the product meets the requirements of DGCCRF, the applicant can further communicate with DGCCRF to understand the follow-up process. If the product does not meet the requirements, improvements need to be made according to the recommendations in the test report and the sample is resubmitted for testing.
