Guidelines for Obtaining DM Food Contact Material Report for Coffee Spoons (Italy)
I. Scope of Application
Types of coffee spoons requiring DM testing:
Metal coffee spoons (stainless steel, aluminum alloy, silver)
Plastic coffee spoons
Silicone coffee spoons
Ceramic coffee spoons
Wooden coffee spoons (with coating)
Composite coffee spoons (handle + spoon body combination)
II. Core Testing Items
Testing items vary depending on the material:
| Material | Main Test Items
| Stainless Steel | Chromium, Nickel, Manganese, Molybdenum migration; Total migration; Sensory testing
| Aluminum Alloy | Aluminum, Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic migration
| Plastic | Total migration; Plasticizer 6P; Bisphenol A; Sensory testing
| Silicone/Rubber | Total migration; Peroxide residue; Volatile organic compounds
| Ceramic | Lead, Cadmium leaching
| Wood (coated) | Coating migration; Heavy metals; Sensory testing
Special tests for coffee spoons (due to contact with coffee):
Migration with 3% acetic acid simulated solution (simulating the acidic environment of coffee)
Migration with 10% ethanol simulated solution
Repeated use test
III. Processing Procedure
1. Material Confirmation: Clarify the specific materials and raw material suppliers for the spoon body and handle.
2. Sample Submission Requirements: Provide 3-5 finished product samples.
3. Selection of Institution: Dezewei Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083
4. Testing Cycle: Typically 5-7 working days
5. Cost Range: Approximately 800-2000 RMB for single materials; slightly higher for composite materials.
6. Certificate Validity: Typically 1-3 years
IV. Required Documents
Product images and packaging images
Material composition descriptions for each component
Raw material supplier information
Existing product testing reports (if any)
Sample samples
V. Key Considerations
Separate billing for composite materials: Metal handles + plastic spoon bodies require separate testing for each material, increasing the cost by approximately 30%.
Size has minimal impact: The testing items for large and small coffee spoons (teaspoon vs. standard spoon) are basically the same, and they can be combined for processing.
Brand-customized models: Require separate application for each SKU.
Initial market entry: It is recommended to start the application process 3-4 months in advance.
Multi-country combined processing: If simultaneously selling to Germany and France, LFGB and DGCCRF can be applied for together to save costs.
VI. Risk Warning
Selling to Italy without a DM report may result in: customs seizure, Amazon listing removal, and fines up to €50,000. It is recommended to complete compliance testing before product launch to avoid the entire batch of products becoming unsaleable due to non-compliant small components.
