Non-stick coated cookware products French DGCCRF certification report
I. Product positioning and applicable regulations
Non-stick coated cookware products (such as non-stick frying pans, skillets, baking pans, steamers, etc.) are materials that come into direct contact with food and must comply with DGCCRF requirements to be sold in the French market. The main applicable regulations and standards for this type of product include:
EU 1935/2004 (EU Framework Regulation on Food Contact Materials)
EU 1272/2013 (Plastic Materials and Articles in Food Contact)
French Décret 2007-766 (French Specific Regulation on Food Contact Materials)
French Arrêté du 25/11/1992 (Specific Regulations on Food Contact Coatings)
German LFGB 30/31 BFR Recommendation (Reference Standard for Coating Migration Testing)
II. Core Testing Items for DGCCRF Certification
The testing focus for non-stick cookware coatings is on the safety and migration risk of the coating material. Specific testing items are as follows:
| Testing Category | Specific Items | Judgment Criteria
| Heavy Metal Migration | Lead, Cadmium, Chromium, Aluminum, Nickel, etc. | Limit requirements depending on material and application
| Total Migration Test | Substance migration under simulated food conditions | ≤10mg/dm² or 60mg/kg
| Potassium Permanganate Consumption | Total dissolved organic matter | ≤10mg/kg
| Evaporation residue | Residue after soaking in water/alcohol/oily media | Limits vary depending on the medium
| Heavy metal migration | Aluminum migration (coated metals) | Aluminum ≤5mg/kg (aluminum or non-stick coating)
| Sensory indicators | Odor, taste, and color changes | Must not cause sensory changes in food
| PFOS/PFOA detection | Perfluorinated compounds (if applicable) | Not detectable or at extremely low limits
III. Certification Process
Step 1: Product Information Confirmation
Provide material specifications for the non-stick coating (substrate material, coating type)
Provide product images (overall image, coating detail image)
Confirm coating composition (PTFE, ceramic coating, etc.)
Confirm target market and sales channels (offline supermarkets/e-commerce platforms)
Step 2: Selecting a Testing Laboratory
It is recommended to choose an institution with the following qualifications:
CNAS accreditation (China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment) (DEZEW Testing CNAS registration number: L8083)
CMA accreditation
EU accredited laboratory accreditation (such as German LFGB, French DGCCRF accreditation)
Step 3: Laboratory Testing
Step 1: Fill out the testing application form and confirm the testing items and sample quantity.
Send representative samples (usually 2-3 samples of the same specification).
The laboratory conducts migration testing, heavy metal testing, etc., according to standards.
The testing cycle is usually 10-15 working days.
Step 4: Issuance of Test Report
The laboratory issues a CNAS accredited test report.
The report includes: test data, judgment conclusions, and test method descriptions.
If there are any non-compliant items, the formula or process can be adjusted and the sample resubmitted for testing.
Step 5: Preparation of Declaration of Conformity
A DGCCRF Declaration of Conformity is prepared based on the test report.
The declaration includes: product information, applicable regulations, test results, and manufacturer's liability statement.
Signed by the manufacturer or their authorized EU representative.
IV. Fees and Cycle Reference
| Project | Timeframe | Cost Range (RMB)
| Basic Testing + Report | 5-7 Business Days | 1000-3000 RMB
V. Amazon France Upload Notes
1. Report Language: English or French version of the test report is required.
2. Declaration of Conformity: Must include complete information and signature of the manufacturer/importer.
3. Product Label: Must indicate material information, applicable temperature range, and country of origin.
4. Warnings: Must include usage precautions (e.g., avoid dry burning, discontinue use after scratches, etc.).
5. Regular Updates: Retesting is required when the coating formula or production process changes.
