French DGCCRF Certification Report Process for Beverage Cups
I. Pre-Certification Preparation
1. Clarify the Product Material Type
Different beverage cup materials result in significantly different testing items and standards:
| Material Type | Common Products
| Plastics | PP cups, PS cups, PET cups, disposable plastic cups
| Paper Products | Paper cups, kraft paper cups, laminated paper cups
| Glass | Glass cups, glass water bottles
| Metals | Stainless steel insulated cups, aluminum cups
| Biodegradable Materials | PLA cups, starch-based cups
2. I. Preparing Application Documents
Product Material List and Ingredient Description
Production Process Flow
Food Contact Declaration
Raw Material Testing Report Provided by Supplier (if applicable)
Product Images and Packaging Information
II. Application Process (4 Steps)
Step 1: Selecting a Testing Institution
Must be a laboratory with CMA/CNAS accreditation and EU recognition (DTI CNAS Registration No.: L8083)
Confirm the laboratory's testing capabilities for food contact materials.
Step 2: Submitting Samples and Application
Provide representative samples (usually 3-5)
Fill out the testing application form
Confirm the applicable testing standards (DGCCRF + EU Regulation EU 10/2011, etc.)
Step 3: Laboratory Testing
Comprehensive migration testing (different food simulants)
Detection of specific substances such as heavy metals, plasticizers, and fluorescent agents
Sensory testing (taste and odor transfer)
Step 4: Issuing a Report
Pass: Issuance of DGCCRF compliance report/certificate
Fail: Re-inspection after rectification
III. Main Testing Items
| Testing Type | Specific Items
| Total Migration | Simulated solutions such as 4% acetic acid, 20% ethanol, and 95% ethanol
| Heavy Metals | Lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, antimony, etc.
| Specific Migrations | Plasticizers (DEHP, etc.), formaldehyde, fluorescent substances
| Sensory Indicators | Taste and odor migration test
IV. Processing Time and Fees
| Items | Reference Range
| Testing Time | 5-7 working days
| Fee Reference | 1000-2000 RMB/item, depending on material and test items
V. Precautions
Paper cups need to be differentiated between coated and uncoated: Laminated paper cups require additional coating migration testing.
Thermos cups require metal migration testing: Pay attention to the leaching of metals such as manganese, nickel, and chromium.
For export to France, it is recommended to meet EU regulations simultaneously: Dual standards are more reliable.
Retain raw material supplier documents: Facilitates traceability and responses to market inspections.
For specific pricing or testing details, please provide the specific material of the cup, and I can provide further assistance with analysis.
