Silicone rubber products do need to undergo DGCCRF testing and certification when exported to France. When silicone rubber products undergo French DGCCRF testing, you need to pay attention to the following content and processes:
DGCCRF detection content:
1. Comprehensive migration test: Test whether silicone products release harmful substances during contact with food.
2. Peroxide value test: Check whether the peroxide in silicone products exceeds the standard. Too much peroxide will cause food deterioration.
3. Total volatile organic matter test (VOM): Check whether the organic solvents used in the production process exceed the standard.
4. Heavy metal testing: Detect whether silicone products contain heavy metal elements such as lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.
5. Sensory testing: Test whether the appearance, smell, taste and other sensory indicators of silicone products meet the standard requirements.
Testing process:
1. Fill out the application form: Submit a formal testing application.
2. Provide product information: including basic information such as product name, model, specification, quantity, etc.
3. Production process and formula: Provide the production process and formula of silicone products to facilitate comprehensive migration testing and total organic volatile matter testing.
4. Food type: Provide the type of food that the silicone product comes into contact with for migration testing and sensory testing.
5. Packaging materials and sealing materials: Provide packaging materials and sealing materials for silicone products for testing.
6. Send samples: Send samples to testing institutions for testing.
7. Testing: The testing agency tests the samples according to the above items.
8. Issuing a report: After the test is completed, the testing agency will issue a detailed test report.
The above are the main contents and procedures for French DGCCRF testing of silicone rubber products to ensure that the products meet the safety requirements of the French market for food contact materials.
