Guide to DGCCRF Certification Testing for Glass Food Storage Containers in France
I. Why Do Glass Food Storage Containers Require DGCCRF Certification?
As materials and products that come into direct contact with food, glass food storage containers must comply with DGCCRF requirements to enter the French market. This certification ensures that the product will not migrate harmful substances into food, protecting consumer health, and is also a mandatory requirement for market access in France.
II. Scope of Application
Glass food storage containers fall under the category of food contact materials and products, specifically including: ordinary soda-lime glass food storage containers, borosilicate glass food storage containers, tempered glass food storage containers, glass sealing lids (including silicone sealing rings), and all complete units and components.
III. Main Testing Items
| Testing Items | Controlled Substances | Limit Requirements
| Heavy Metal Migration | Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, Antimony, etc. | Comply with EU Directives
| Glass Composition Analysis | Hazardous Element Content | Lead ≤1000ppm, Cadmium ≤100ppm
| Silicone Sealing Ring Testing | Phthalate, Bisphenol A | Migration must meet requirements
| Sensory Indicators | Taste, Odor, Color Migration | Must not affect the original characteristics of food
| Thermal Stability Testing | Thermal Shock Resistance | Must meet usage conditions
IV. Application Process
| Steps | Content | Timeframe
| 1. Document Preparation | Product specifications, material composition list, BOM
| 2. Sample Submission | Provide representative samples and material samples
| 3. Laboratory Testing | Conduct migration testing according to DGCCRF methods
| 4. Report Preparation | Issuance of test report and declaration of conformity
Cycle: Approximately 5-7 business days (standard)
V. Precautions
Material consistency: Different colored glass may require separate testing.
Silicone sealing ring: Requires separate testing and material description.
Labeling requirements: Products must be labeled "Food Contact" and include manufacturer information.
Certification body selection: It is recommended to choose a laboratory with CNAS/CMA accreditation and familiarity with DGCCRF requirements (DEZEW Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083).
Certificate validity: Usually no fixed validity period, but retesting is required if raw materials change.
