French DGCCRF testing process for coffee vending machines. Before coffee vending machines are sold in the French market, they need to go through the testing process of DGCCRF (French Directorate General for Competition Policy, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control) to ensure that they comply with French food contact material safety regulations. The following is a detailed process for DGCCRF testing of coffee vending machines:
1. Understand regulations and standards
First, you need to understand the French DGCCRF regulations and standards on food contact materials, which will help determine the testing items and requirements. DGCCRF certification is mainly for all materials and products that come into contact with food to ensure their safety.
2. Prepare samples and materials
Prepare coffee vending machine samples that meet the requirements of the French DGCCRF, and provide detailed product information such as product name, model, material, production process, instructions for use, etc.
3. Choose a testing agency
Choose a testing agency approved by the French DGCCRF that has the corresponding testing equipment and technicians. For example, Shenzhen Dezewei Technology Testing Co., Ltd. and other agencies can provide relevant testing services.
4. Submit a test application
Submit a test application to the testing agency, and attach product samples and relevant information.
5. Conduct the test
The testing agency will test the coffee vending machine samples in accordance with the requirements of the French DGCCRF. The test items may include:
- Comprehensive migration test: carried out in different food simulation liquids, such as deionized water, 3% acetic acid, 10% alcohol, olive oil, etc., to detect whether there is a release of ingredients that pose a risk to human health.
- Extractable heavy metal test: Detect the dissolution of heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, chromium, and nickel in coffee vending machines.
- Sensory test: Evaluate whether the product will change the sensory characteristics of food such as taste, smell, and color.
6. Obtain a test report
After the test is completed, the testing agency will issue a detailed test report. If the coffee vending machine passes all tests and meets the requirements of the French DGCCRF, the testing agency will issue the corresponding certification certificate.
7. Audit and certification
If the coffee vending machine passes all tests and meets the requirements of the French DGCCRF, the testing agency will issue the corresponding certification certificate.
8. Subsequent supervision
After obtaining certification, the product may be supervised and spot-checked by the DGCCRF during the market sales process to ensure continued compliance with regulatory requirements. Please note that the specific requirements and procedures of the French DGCCRF certification may change with the update of regulations. Before applying for certification, it is recommended to understand the new regulatory requirements and procedures in detail.
By following the above testing process, manufacturers can ensure that their coffee vending machines comply with French food contact material safety regulations and are legally sold in the French market.
