Process for Handling DGCCRF Certification Report for Beverage Containers in France
1、 Applicable product scope
|Product Type | Example
|Plastic water bottles, beverage cups | Disposable cups, reusable cups
|Metal beverage containers | Stainless steel cups, aluminum cans
|Glass beverage container | Glass bottle, glass cup
|Composite material container | Paper plastic composite material cup
|Beverage packaging bag | nozzle bag, box bag
2、 Basic Process for Handling
Step 1: Confirm product material and testing requirements
Determine the complete material composition of the beverage container (cup body, cup lid, sealing ring, straw, etc.)
Identify the type of material in contact with food/beverage
Prepare a Bill of Materials (BOM) for the product
Step 2: Select the testing agency
|Recommended Choice | Requirements
|French accredited laboratory | with DGCCRF accreditation qualification
|International accredited laboratory | ISO 17025 accreditation qualification
|Domestic authoritative institutions | CMA/CNAS qualifications, capable of issuing French market recognition reports
Step 3: Submit Application and Sample Submission
Fill out the testing application form
Provide product material specifications, expected usage conditions (temperature, contact time, food type)
Sample submission requirements: Typically 3-5 sets of samples, with material labeling for each component
Step 4: Laboratory testing
Conduct corresponding tests based on the material type
The detection cycle is usually 5-7 working days
Step 5: Issue a report
The laboratory issues a testing report
The report includes test results and comparative conclusions with regulatory requirements
If you need a French version of the report, please communicate with the institution in advance
3、 Main testing items
1. Comprehensive migration volume testing
|Test conditions | Description
|Distilled water | Simulated water-based beverage
|4% acetic acid | simulated acidic beverage
|50% ethanol | simulated alcoholic beverage
|Olive Oil/Modified Polyphenol | Simulated Fatty Food
2. Heavy metal migration testing
Lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As)
Cobalt (Sb), Barium (Ba), Nickel (Ni)
Aluminum (Al), zinc (Zn), etc
3. Specific substance migration testing
|Material | Testing Items
|Plastics | Phthalates, Bisphenol A, Formaldehyde
|Metals | heavy metal leaching, nickel release
|Coatings | Epoxy derivatives, plasticizers
|Composite materials | Total migration of materials in each layer
4. Sensory testing
Test the color, aroma, and taste changes of food after migration
Ensure that it does not affect the original quality of the food
4、 List of required materials
1. Product samples (3-5 sets)
2. Product Material List (BOM)
3. Material Composition Manual
4. Description of expected usage conditions (temperature, contact time)
5. Description of the types of food in contact
6. Application Form
5、 Precautions
|Key points | Explanation
|Layered testing | Composite materials need to be tested separately by layer
|Usage conditions | Testing conditions need to cover the actual temperature range of use
|Food type | It is necessary to specify the type of beverage in contact (acidic/alcoholic/fatty)
|Supplier change | Re testing required after raw material change
|Report validity period | There is no fixed validity period, but it is recommended to conduct regular re inspections
6、 Cost and cycle reference
|Project | Scope
|Testing fee | 1000-3000 RMB (depending on the complexity of the material)
|Testing cycle | 5-7 working days
|Urgent service | can be applied for, with a 30% -50% increase in fees
7、 Subsequent compliance requirements
Label requirements: French labels must indicate the material type and usage precautions
Traceability records: keep inspection reports and raw material certificates for at least 3 years
Market regulation: DGCCRF may conduct random inspections at any time and must maintain compliance status
