[Introduction to ACS Certification] ACS is a French health certification body, fully known as (Academiaconstiinteidesine), primarily conducting tests on plumbing equipment products according to standards published by AFNOR (Association Francaise de Normalisation), such as XP P41-251. Currently, it has relevant laboratories in Paris and Lille. On May 29, 1997, the French Ministry of Health issued relevant laws, mandating that all products that come into contact with drinking water entering France must undergo health audits and tests to prove that the products do not alter the sensory, chemical composition, and microbiological characteristics of water, thereby not affecting human health. After the products meet the relevant standard requirements, an ACS health certificate is issued. ACS certification has become a passport for sanitary ware products to enter the French market. [Scope of ACS Certified Products] According to the announcement DGS/SD7A2002-571 issued by the French Ministry of Health on November 25, 2002, the products involved include: A. Storage and transportation water fittings and pipes: storage tanks, pipeline coatings, various fittings, various joints, etc.; B. Functional accessories for water transport networks: water pumps, valves, flow meters, valve cores, aerators, controllers, etc.; C. Terminal products for water transport: faucets, showerheads, thermostatic faucets, braided hoses, shower devices, etc.; D. Various raw materials: EPDM, NBR, PVC, silicone, POM, etc. [ACS Certification Process] A. Submit application information to Ningbo Shangdu Certification Consulting Company; you can also contact us by calling 13736130593.

C. Document review; D. Sample preparation: provide samples as required, and the sample information must be consistent with the application form; E. Migration testing of samples (if all water-contacting components of the product comply with ACS regulations or have ACS certificates, testing is not required); F. Issuance of certificates; [Content of ACS Migration Testing] According to the French national standard XPP41-280, the substance transfer test in water must be conducted at 23°C. This helps evaluate the impact of organic substances contained in accessory products on water quality from different indicators: chlorinated solvents, non-chlorinated solvents, GC/MS spectra, total organic carbon content, taste, pH value, conductivity, and chlorine consumption. What are the precautions for ACS certification? Products made entirely of metal do not need to undergo ACS certification, but the metal materials must be proven to comply with the purity and conditions specified in Annex I of the multi-department regulations dated May 29, 1997. All organic materials in product components must have valid ACS certificates, or if 95% of the materials in contact with water comply with the laws of Germany, the UK, Belgium, or the Netherlands, then the product formula does not need to be reviewed, and the product does not need to undergo water substance transfer testing. Therefore, applicants can obtain the ACS certificate in the shortest time possible. How long is the ACS certification cycle? It can be divided into the following three situations: A. If all water-contacting components of the product can provide proof documents that meet ACS regulations, the cycle is about 4 weeks; B. If a small part of the water-contacting components of the product cannot provide proof documents that meet ACS regulations, the cycle is about 2-3 months; C. For a single non-metallic material/component applying for ACS certification, the cycle is about 3-4 months.
