Before disposable straws are sold in the French market, they need to be certified by DGCCRF to ensure that they comply with French food safety regulations. The following is a detailed certification and testing process:
1. Select a certification body
Select a qualified third-party testing laboratory recognized by the French DGCCRF. These laboratories usually have the corresponding equipment and technical capabilities to conduct tests in accordance with French regulatory requirements.
2. Submit product information
Provide detailed information about the product to the laboratory, including but not limited to:
- Product manual
- Material list
- Manufacturing process
- Product design drawing
3. Sample preparation
Prepare a certain number of samples for the laboratory to test. The number of samples should meet the laboratory's testing needs, and multiple samples are usually required to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test.
4. Product testing
The laboratory will conduct a series of tests on disposable straws to ensure that they comply with French food contact material safety regulations. The main test items include:
- Comprehensive migration test: carried out in different food simulants, such as deionized water, 3% acetic acid, 10% alcohol, olive oil, etc., to detect whether there is any release of ingredients that pose a risk to human health.
- Sensory testing: evaluate whether the product changes the taste, smell, color and other sensory properties of food.
- Heavy metal testing: detect the dissolution of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium.
- Specific substance migration test: depending on the material, it may be necessary to test the migration of specific substances, such as plasticizers, formaldehyde, etc.
5. Test report and certificate
After the test is completed, the laboratory will issue a detailed test report. If the product passes all tests, it will be awarded a DGCCRF certification certificate. This certificate proves that the product complies with French food safety regulations and can be sold on the French market.
6. Subsequent supervision
After obtaining certification, the product may be subject to supervision and spot checks by the DGCCRF during market sales to ensure continued compliance with regulatory requirements. Therefore, companies need to maintain stable product quality and be prepared to respond to possible regulatory inspections at any time.
Notes
- Regulatory updates: The specific requirements and procedures for French DGCCRF certification may change with regulatory updates. It is recommended to understand the latest regulatory requirements and procedures in detail before applying for certification.
- Testing cycle: The entire certification process may take some time, so it is recommended to plan ahead to avoid affecting the product launch time.
Through the above process, disposable straws can obtain French DGCCRF certification to ensure their legality and safety in the French market.
