A complete list of required documents and key points for obtaining a French DGCCRF test report for stainless steel kitchenware (updated according to the latest regulations in 2025), divided into three categories: basic documents, technical documents, and compliance documents, ensuring a one-time approval:
I. Basic Documents (3 core items)
1. Company Qualification Documents
- Business License (notarized bilingual version in Chinese and English)
- ISO 9001 Quality Management System Certificate (if applicable)
- French importer information (mandatory DGCCRF requirement: name, address, VAT number)
2. Product Identification Documents
- Product Specification Sheet (including model, material, and application)
- High-resolution product photos (main body + label close-up)
- Packaging and Instruction Manual (French version, including temperature range markings)
3. Supply Chain Traceability Documents
- Alloy composition report from the stainless steel raw material supplier (must specify the grade, such as 304/316)
- I. Food-grade certification from auxiliary material suppliers (LFGB or FDA certificate for silicone/coating in the handle)
II. Technical Documents (5 key items)
A [Material Composition] --> B (Stainless Steel Spectroscopic Analysis Report)
C [Process Description] --> D (Surface Treatment Process Flow Chart)
E [Sample Information] --> F (6 unused complete samples)
1. Material Composition Details
- Stainless steel element content test report (precise proportions of nickel, chromium, and manganese)
- Coating/electroplating layer chemical composition description (must indicate whether it contains PFOA/PFAS)
2. Production Process Description
- Stamping, polishing, and welding process flow charts
- Heat treatment temperature curve records (proving stability)
3. Sample Requirements
- 6 unopened finished products (including complete packaging)
- For coated products, an additional 3 coating samples (10×10cm) are required
4. Relevant Documents
- Simulated usage scenario description (e.g., for frying pans, the type of stove to which they are compatible must be indicated)
- 5. Food Contact Area Diagram (Indicating Material Contact Area)
6. Historical Test Reports (if applicable)
- Existing EN 1388-1 Heavy Metal Migration Report
- RoHS/REACH Declaration of Conformity (Proving Free from Cadmium, Lead, etc. Contamination)
III. Compliance Documents (3 Required)
1. Draft Declaration of Conformity (French)
- Declaration template must include:
“Le productduit [product model] est conforme:
- Au règlement (CE) n°1935/2004
- À la norme NF D21-001 (édition 2024)
- À l'arrêté du 8 janvier 2025 sur les PFAS”
2. Label Compliance Certificate
- Label Design (Including the following mandatory elements):
- Food Contact Mark (Wine glass and fork logo)
- “Fabrication en [country]”
- Temperature range (e.g., -20℃~250℃)
3. SCIP database submission number (new in 2025!)
- Complex products require prior submission of substance information to the EU [SCIP database], providing the SCIP submission number (e.g., SCIP-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx)
IV. Precautions and Common Reasons for Returns
| Risk Points | Solutions
| Nickel release > 0.1mg/dm² | Use 316 medical-grade steel and provide proof of electropolishing process
| Missing French importer information | Sign a contract with an authorized representative in France (EAR)
| PFAS not tested | Additional testing for perfluorinated compounds (limit ≤25ppb)
Important Reminder:
1. New regulation in 2025: Frying pans/woks require additional proof of PFOA-free PTFE coating (Regulation (EU) 2025/318)
2. Expedited Processing: Submissions through French laboratories (such as LNE) can shorten the processing time to 7 working days.
3. Document Validity: Raw material reports must be issued within 2 years; expired reports require retesting.
V. Document Submission Flowchart
A [Prepare Basic Documents] --> B [Contract Laboratory Testing]
B --> C {Laboratory Review}
C --Approved --> D [Generate French Test Report]
C --Request Supplementary Documents --> E [Supplement Materials within 5 Days]
D --> F [DGCCRF Filing]
F --> G [Obtain SCIP Number]
G --> H [Compliance Completed]
