When applying for French DGCCRF testing of kettles, the first thing you need to understand is that DGCCRF is the abbreviation of French food contact material regulatory certification. It ensures the safety of food contact materials during production, processing, storage, transportation and sales to ensure Consumer health. For kettles sold to France, in addition to complying with the EU EC 1935/2004 regulations, they must also comply with the local French DGCCRF regulations.
The application process generally includes the following steps:
1. Product inspection: Send kettle samples to a qualified testing agency for testing.
2. Test items: According to the requirements of DGCCRF, it may include chemical composition testing, physical performance testing, microbial indicator evaluation, etc.
3. Quality management system: Enterprises need to establish a complete quality management system to ensure that every step of the product from raw materials to finished products meets regulatory requirements.
4. Test report: The testing agency will issue a corresponding test report to prove that the product meets the DGCCRF standards.
5. Certification application: Submit an application to DGCCRF and provide relevant product information and test reports.
6. Review and supervision: DGCCRF will review the submitted information and may conduct market supervision and regular spot checks.
As a product in contact with food, the tests required for kettles may include but are not limited to comprehensive migration tests, heavy metal migration tests, sensory tests (such as the assessment of odor and taste transfer), transferable or volatile organic compounds tests on specific materials, etc. .
It should be noted that DGCCRF certification is an ongoing process, and companies need to regularly submit updated product information and test reports to ensure that products continue to comply with standards.
