General
Food contact materials (machine parts, production tools, process equipment, but especially packaging) enjoy the attention of certification bodies and control authorities. These are increasingly looking for proof of compliance with legislation such as Regulation (EC) 1935/2004 (the framework regulation) and Regulation (EU) 10/2011 (the "plastic directive"). In practice, it is difficult to comply with this legislation; it often raises more questions than answers. The correct drafting and assessment of the Declaration of Conformity is also difficult. In addition, the assessment of the supplier documentation received requires expertise.
This Food Contact Materials training provides insight into relevant European legislation and best practices around the Declaration of Conformity and migration testing. The common thread is legislation for plastics, as this is the only common material with European regulation. The other types of contact materials are mostly nationally regulated, these are covered in the other Food Contact Materials training course.
Target audience
This training is designed for anyone from both the food and packaging industries who is responsible for or has duties related to plastic food contact materials. For example, quality managers, buyers, HACCP team members, technical managers, process technologists and product developers. The training is also suitable for (internal) auditors.
Target
After this training the participants are able to translate the requirements from the European food contact materials legislation for plastics into a practical approach, tailored to their own company situation.
Topics
- The relevant legislation for plastic food contact materials;
- Practical inventory of contact materials for a food production facility;
- Interpreting migration tests;
- Requesting adequate documentation from suppliers;
