Stainless steel paring knives need to meet a series of testing requirements when undergoing French DGCCRF testing and certification. These tests are designed to ensure that when in contact with food, the product does not release ingredients that pose a risk to human health, cause unacceptable changes in the food composition, or reduce the sensory properties of the food, such as taste, smell and color.
For food contact products made of stainless steel, DGCCRF’s test items usually include:
1. Metal composition analysis: Ensure that the metal composition of the stainless steel paring knife, such as chromium, nickel, manganese, etc., meets the prescribed safety standards.
2. Comprehensive migration testing: Evaluates the total amount of all substances migrating from the product under simulated food conditions.
3. Heavy metal dissolution test: detect the content of heavy metals that may migrate from stainless steel paring knives to food, such as lead, cadmium, chromium, nickel, etc.
4. Sensory testing: Evaluate whether the product changes the taste, smell or color of the food.
The DGCCRF certification process generally includes steps such as filling in an application form, providing product information, sending samples, conducting tests, and issuing test reports. The testing cycle is usually 10-15 working days. After passing the test, the product can obtain DGCCRF certification, which is an important certificate for its legal sale in the French market.
It should be noted that DGCCRF certification does not have a so-called certification validity period, but if the manufacturer’s application before certification of products and standards does not change, DGCCRF certification can continue to be used. If the product changes, it may require retesting and certification.
