How to ensure that your food contact materials comply with EU regulations
The declaration of conformity is a key document that confirms that a product meets the EU’s basic requirements for materials that come into contact with food. But how can you ensure that the information it contains is complete, accurate and up to date?
Compliance with EU requirements – in particular Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 – can only be guaranteed if relevant information is exchanged transparently between suppliers and customers throughout the entire supply chain. The information provided must be clear and precise and refer to the actual composition of the material. This is precisely where our revised checklist for declarations of conformity comes into play.
What is new?
Following the 19th amendment to Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 by Regulation (EU) 2025/351, we have comprehensively updated our checklist for reviewing declarations of conformity. It helps you to systematically check your documentation for completeness and compliance with Annex IV of the Regulation. The information must be clear and precise and refer to the actual composition of the material.
What does the checklist offer?
- A structured overview of all required information in accordance with Annex IV
- Additional notes on conformity assessment
- Support in identifying gaps or delegated tasks
- A new section for reviewing information on bisphenol A in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2024/3190
