As kitchen cooking appliances, pressure cookers, with their inner pots, sealing rings, valves, and other components in direct contact with food, fall under the mandatory DGCCRF certification scope. All pressure cookers and accessories (lid sealing rings, safety valves, pressure regulating components, and other food contact parts) exported to the French market must undergo DGCCRF compliance testing.
I. Core Testing Items
1. Total Migration Test — Simulates food contact conditions to detect the total amount of substances migrating from the material into food.
2. Specific Migration Test — Detects the migration amount of specific substances (such as BPA, phthalates) in plastic/rubber parts.
3. Heavy Metal Release — Detects the risk of leaching of metal ions such as lead, cadmium, nickel, and chromium.
4. Sensory Testing — Assesses the impact on the odor, taste, and color of food.
5. Material Compliance — Verifies the compliance of food-grade materials such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and silicone according to French Décret n°2007-766.
Processing Procedure
Sample Preparation → Disassemble into individual contact materials (inner liner, sealing ring, valve, etc.) → Commission to a CNAS-accredited laboratory for testing → Laboratory issues a French-language test report (Certificat de conformité) → Product Compliance Marking
II. Precautions
Special attention should be paid to volatile organic compound (VOC) migration testing for sealing rubber rings (such as silicone rings).
Aluminum alloy inner liners must meet specific French requirements for coatings and substrates.
Reports are recommended to be prepared in French for easier inspection by French customs and regulatory agencies.
Standard processing time is 5-7 business days; expedited processing is available.
Cost: 1000-3000 RMB
