French food contact material testing--French grade test DGCCRF
French food grade test DGCCRF
With the implementation of EU food grade regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, EU member states are paying close attention to the safe use of products in contact with food.
Different member states monitor the quality of products and materials in contact with food on the market according to their own national food grade regulations. For products exported to the EU, the customs of each EU member state will conduct random inspections of the goods in accordance with relevant regulations. Those who fail to meet the standards will be subject to the risk of return.
In addition to complying with the European Union (EC) No 1935/2004 regulatory requirements, relevant products sold to France must also comply with local French regulatory requirements, including French DGCCRF 2004-64 and French Décret 92-631 and French Décret 2007-766. French regulations not only have special requirements for plastic and rubber products that come into contact with food, but also have special classification requirements for metal products. For example, cookware with organic coatings has corresponding requirements for the metal as the base material in addition to the testing of the coating .
