Plastic cookie molds exported to France must undergo DGCCRF certification (French food safety regulations). The test report must cover material safety, chemical migration, and sensory properties. The following is a summary of key information:
I. Core Testing Items
Depending on the material type, plastic cookie molds must undergo the following testing:
1. Comprehensive Migration Testing
- This test simulates different food environments (acidic, oily, alcoholic, etc.) to detect the total amount of plastic leachables.
- Limit: Total migration ≤ 10 mg/dm² (EU Directive 10/2011).
2. Migration of Specific Chemical Substances
- Heavy Metal Leaching: Lead, Cadmium, Chromium, etc. (For PP materials, chromium, vanadium, and zirconium content must be measured).
- Phthalates: Limit ≤ 1.5 mg/kg (for PVC materials).
- Formaldehyde (melamine resin): Limit ≤ 15 mg/kg.
- Bisphenol A (BPA): Required to be undetectable (especially for children's products).
3. Sensory Testing
- Ensure there are no unusual odors or color transfer to avoid affecting the flavor of the food.
4. Other Specialized Tests
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Silicone materials require testing for total VOCs.
- Peroxide Value: Rubber or silicone products require testing.
II. Certification Process and Cycle
1. Sample Preparation
- Provide mold samples and material description (e.g., PP, silicone, etc.).
2. Laboratory Testing
- Select a test combination based on the material (e.g., PP requires additional chromium, vanadium, and zirconium testing).
3. Report Issuance
- Testing typically takes 5-7 working days, with a cost of approximately ¥800-¥2000 (depending on the number of items).
4. Report Content
- The test standard (e.g., DGCCRF2004-64), method, and results must be clearly stated.
III. Key Considerations
1. Dual Regulation
- Compliance with both EU Framework Regulation 1935/2004/EC and French DGCCRF requirements is required.
2. Material Classification Requirements
- Coated molds (such as non-stick coatings) require separate testing of the substrate and coating.
3. Logo Use
- Certified products can be affixed with the "Wine Glass and Fork" food contact logo to enhance market acceptance.
IV. Recommended Steps
1. Material Verification: Identify the mold plastic type (e.g., PP, silicone, etc.) and select targeted testing items.
2. Laboratory Selection: Prioritize institutions with CNAS/CMA accreditation (e.g., Dezewei Testing).
3. Focus on Report Validity: Ensure the report includes the DGCCRF standard number and referenced EU regulations.
