French DGCCRF certification is a French food-level safety regulation designed to ensure the safety of food contact materials. The specific testing process for stainless steel products applying for French DGCCRF certification is as follows:
1. Choose a certification agency: Choose a qualified third-party testing laboratory recognized by the French DGCCRF.
2. Submit product information: Provide detailed product information to the laboratory, including product instructions, material list, manufacturing process, etc.
3. Sample preparation: Prepare a certain number of samples for laboratory testing.
4. Product testing: The laboratory will conduct a series of tests on stainless steel products to ensure that they comply with French food contact material safety regulations. Test items usually include:
- Metal composition analysis: Ensure that the content of chromium, nickel, manganese and other elements in stainless steel meets the requirements.
- Comprehensive migration test: conducted in different food simulation solutions, such as deionized water, 3% acetic acid, 10% alcohol, olive oil, etc., to detect whether there is any release of ingredients that pose a risk to human health.
- Extractable heavy metal testing: detect the dissolution of lead, cadmium, chromium, nickel and other heavy metals in stainless steel products.
- Sensory testing: Evaluate whether the product will change the taste, smell, color and other sensory properties of the food.
5. Test report and certificate: After the test is completed, the laboratory will issue a detailed test report. If the product passes all tests, it will receive a DGCCRF certification certificate.
6. Follow-up supervision: After obtaining certification, the product may be subject to supervision and spot inspection by DGCCRF during the market sales process to ensure continued compliance with regulatory requirements.
It should be noted that the specific requirements and processes for French DGCCRF certification may change as regulations are updated, so it is recommended to learn more about the new regulatory requirements and processes before applying for certification. Since DGCCRF certification involves many test items, the entire process may take a certain amount of time. It is recommended to plan in advance to avoid affecting the product launch time.
