Aluminum kitchenware needs to pass DGCCRF testing before being sold in the French market to ensure that it meets French food safety standards. The following is relevant information about aluminum kitchenware undergoing French DGCCRF testing:
I. Testing requirements
According to the requirements of the French DGCCRF, aluminum kitchenware needs to undergo the following testing items:
1. Comprehensive migration test:
- Simulate the contact process between food and aluminum kitchenware, and test under certain temperature and time conditions to evaluate the safety of kitchenware materials.
2. Heavy metal migration test:
- Detect the migration of heavy metals (such as lead, cadmium, etc.) that may exist in aluminum kitchenware to ensure that these heavy metals do not migrate into food through food contact.
3. Sensory test:
- Evaluate the color, smell, feel, etc. of aluminum kitchenware through observation, smell and touch to detect whether there are any sensory problems that may affect food safety.
II. Testing process
1. Preparation stage:
- Provide basic product information: including product name, model, specifications, quantity, etc.
- Provide the production process and formula of the product, including the use of raw materials, additives, auxiliary agents, etc.
- Prepare the aluminum kitchenware samples to be tested and ensure that they are clean and have not been treated in any way that may affect the test results.
2. Submit an application:
- Submit a test application to the DGCCRF or its approved testing agency, and attach detailed information and samples related to the product.
3. Sample evaluation:
- After receiving the sample, the testing agency will conduct a preliminary evaluation to determine the suitability and testing needs of the sample.
4. Conduct the test:
- Conduct the test in a laboratory approved by the DGCCRF. The laboratory will use professional equipment and methods to conduct the test in accordance with the requirements of the French DGCCRF.
5. Issue a test report:
- After the laboratory completes the test, it will issue a detailed test report listing the test results. These results will be used to evaluate whether the aluminum kitchenware meets the standards of the French DGCCRF.
6. Audit and certification:
- The DGCCRF will review the test report. If the aluminum kitchenware meets the standards for food contact materials, DGCCRF will issue the corresponding certification.
III. Notes
- Test cycle: usually 5-7 working days.
- Compliance: Aluminum kitchenware must comply with EU regulations (EC1935/2004) and French local regulations (such as DGCCRF2004-64, Décretno92-631).
- Labeling and traceability: The product must indicate the material, production information and precautions for use for traceability.
Through the above information, you can understand the specific requirements and procedures for aluminum kitchenware to undergo French DGCCRF testing to ensure that it meets French food safety standards.
