Overview of DGCCRF Compliance for Kitchen Airtight Containers
Under the French DGCCRF framework, kitchen airtight containers are classified as food contact materials (FCMs) and must comply with French Regulation Décret n° 2007-766 and EU Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004.
I. Core Compliance Requirements
1. Food Contact Safety
Main materials (glass/stainless steel/plastic/ceramic/silicone) must comply with EU FCM regulations.
The migration of harmful substances (heavy metals, plasticizers, formaldehyde, etc.) into food is prohibited.
High borosilicate glass is recommended; stainless steel must be labeled as 304/316 grade.
2. Labeling and Information (French is mandatory)
Manufacturer/Importer's name and address
"Applicable to food contact"
Instructions for use, temperature limits, and initial cleaning recommendations
Ingredient and material information (if containing BPA, Nickel, etc., must be labeled)
3. Testing and Inspection Reports
Sensory testing (odor/taste transfer)
Migration testing (total migration at different temperatures, specific migration amounts)
Heavy metal release testing (lead, cadmium, nickel, etc.)
Sealing rings/silicone components require separate evaluation.
4. Technical Documentation
Product specification sheet, raw material and auxiliary material list
Production process and quality management procedures
CE certification Labeling (if applicable)
Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
II. Key Points of Recommended Report Template
Basic Report Information
Report Number, Applicant Information, Product Name and Model
Testing Basis (Regulations and Standards), Testing Institution Qualifications
Summary of Test Results
Sample Description: Glass jar + Stainless steel/plastic lid + silicone sealing ring
Simulated Liquids: 10% ethanol, 3% acetic acid, refined olive oil, etc.
Test Conditions: Room temperature / 70°C / 100°C / Simulated usage conditions
Conclusion: Compliant according to 1935/2004

III. Common Compliance Risks
| Risk | Countermeasures
| Sealing ring BPA not declared | Label "BPA-free" or provide BPA-free certification
| Lead in glass | Select compliant borosilicate glass and provide a test report
| Label not translated into French | Engage a local French agent to complete the French labeling
| Excessive heavy metals in ceramics/glazes | Use food-grade glazes and provide migration testing
IV. Application Process Recommendations
1. Define product positioning: material, capacity, temperature usage scenario
2. Select testing institution: DZW Testing CNAS registration number: L8083
3. Sample testing: standard cycle approximately 5-7 working days
4. Produce French labels: it is recommended to hire a native French speaker for review
5. Establish technical documentation: retain for at least 5 years for DGCCRF spot checks
6. Post-market surveillance: ensure batch consistency and establish a traceability mechanism
Note: DGCCRF enforcement officers will verify through e-commerce platforms, physical stores, and customs spot checks. The key to compliance for food contact products is safe migration + French labeling; both are indispensable. If cross-border e-commerce direct shipping to France is involved, it is recommended to simultaneously consider the French Extended Responsibility for Production (EPR) packaging regulations.
