Process for Obtaining the French DGCCRF Certification Report for Silicone Cup Lids
I. Product Compliance Background
Silicone cup lids fall under the category of Food Contact Materials (FCM) and are subject to dual regulation by EU Regulation 1935/2004/EC and French Decree No. 2007-766; the DGCCRF is the primary enforcement authority.
Key Note: Even if the silicone material passes standard food-grade testing, the DGCCRF specifically focuses on the migration of siloxane monomers, peroxide residues (generated during the silicone vulcanization process), and compliance with French local labeling requirements.
II. Overall Process (5 Stages)
Stage 1: Product Classification and Regulatory Alignment (1–2 days)
Confirm usage scenarios for the silicone cup lid: contact with hot water / cold drinks / microwave use / dishwasher use.
Align with regulations:
EU 1935/2004/EC (General requirements)
EU AP(2004)5 (Specific resolution for silicone)
French Decree 2007-766 (Local compliance)
LFGB / FDA (If the brand owner is pursuing multi-country compliance)
Stage 2: Laboratory Testing (7–15 working days)
Mandatory Test Items
| Test Category | Key Indicators
| Overall Migration | Distilled water / 3% acetic acid / 10% ethanol simulants
| Specific Migration | Formaldehyde, phenols, peroxide residues
| Heavy Metal Migration | Lead, cadmium, nickel, chromium (based on 1935/2004 + stricter French local standards)
| Sensory Test | Odor, color change
| Volatile Matter (VM) | Characteristic silicone indicator: ≤ 0.5% (LFGB BfR recommended value)
Special Note: The French local market is increasingly strict regarding the testing of siloxanes (D4/D5/D6) in silicone products; proactive testing is recommended.
