◉ French Food Contact Material DGCCRF Introduction
DGCCRF is the English abbreviation of French food-grade safety regulations. In addition to complying with EU Regulation (EC) No1935/2004, food contact products sold to France must also comply with local French laws and regulations, including FrenchDGCCRF2004-64 and FrenchDécretno92-631. French regulations not only have special requirements for plastic and rubber products in food contact products, but also have special classification and requirements for metal products.
French regulations not only have special requirements for plastic and rubber products in contact with food, but also have special classification and requirements for metal products. For example, cookware with organic coatings not only require testing of the coating surface, but also have corresponding requirements for the metal used as the substrate.
French BPA Regulation No. 2012-1442: Starting from January 1, 2015, it is required to prohibit the manufacture, import, export, and sale of food packaging containing bisphenol A for all purposes.
