As a food contact material, if glass bottles are exported to France, they need to undergo DGCCRF testing to ensure that they comply with French food contact material safety standards. DGCCRF is the abbreviation of the French Directorate General for Competition, Consumption and Anti-Fraud, which is responsible for regulating the safety of food contact materials.
For products such as glass bottles, DGCCRF testing items usually include but are not limited to:
1. Lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) dissolution test: detect heavy metals that may be present in glass bottles, especially the content of lead and cadmium, because excessive amounts of these heavy metals may cause health hazards.
2. Sensory requirements: Evaluate the performance of glass bottles in terms of appearance, color, smell, etc. to ensure that they will not have adverse effects on food.
3. Comprehensive migration test: Tests the total amount of chemicals that may migrate into food when the glass bottle comes into contact with food.
4. Heavy metal migration: Evaluate the possible heavy metal migration in glass bottles, such as lead, cadmium, chromium, nickel, arsenic, antimony, zinc, etc.
5. The migration amount of specific chemical substances: such as formaldehyde, phenol, aromatic amines, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride and other chemical substances.
The detection process is roughly as follows:
1. Provide product information: Provide detailed information on the glass bottle, including product instructions, material description, production process, etc.
2. Determine the test items: Based on the product information, determine what specific test items need to be carried out.
3. Fill in the application form: Fill in the DGCCRF testing application form.
4. Send samples: Send the glass bottle samples to be tested to the laboratory designated by DGCCRF.
5. Laboratory testing: The laboratory will test the samples in accordance with the testing methods and standards specified by DGCCRF.
6. Issue a test report: After the test is completed, the laboratory will issue a detailed test report.
7. Review and confirmation: If the test report shows that the product meets the requirements of DGCCRF, you can further communicate with DGCCRF to understand the follow-up process.
Through DGCCRF testing, the safety of glass bottles can be ensured, the health of consumers can be protected, and the necessary compliance certificates can be provided for products to enter the French market.
