Ensuring that food contact materials and objects are safe and in accordance with applicable laws is a top priority for FCM Companies.
The declaration of compliance is the official document issued by the material manufacturer and is required to provide the information necessary to ensure compliance throughout the supply chain. This document certifies that the products supplied comply with current regulations and are safe for contact with food.

Declarations of compliance are important for several reasons:
Food Safety: : Ensure that materials used to package or come into contact with food do not put at risk the health of consumers.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensure that Companies comply with food contact regulations.
Legal Liability: Provide a clear and formal description of compliance, which can be critical in case of legal disputes or liability issues.
Corporate Reputation: Demonstrate the Company’s commitment to food safety and the quality of its products, helping to preserve and improve the Company’s reputation.

Drawing up an effective declaration of compliance requires attention to detail and a thorough understanding of applicable regulations.
Here are the key steps to follow:
Identification: Specify who makes the declaration and clearly identify the material or article intended for contact with food.
Normative References: Indicate the standards, regulations and possibly technical standards to which the product complies. This may include National laws, EU or International regulations.
Technical Details: Provide technical details about the product, such as material, composition and other relevant information.
Testing and Analysis: If appropriate, include test and analysis results that demonstrate product compliance with regulatory specifications.
Authorized Signature: The declaration must be signed by an authorized person within the company, responsible for compliance, the Business Operator.
Issue Date: Include the date of issue of the declaration to ensure its validity.
Preservation of Documents: Keep statements of compliance and supporting documents for registration and verification.

The correct drafting and management of food contact compliance statements is essential to protect consumer health, demonstrate compliance with laws and preserve the Company’s reputation.
Companies must invest in understanding applicable regulations and creating accurate and complete documents. In this way, they can play an active role in promoting a safe food chain and in ensuring the quality of their products.

]]> For Companies operating in the food industry, understanding the EC Framework Regulation 1935/2004 is crucial. This Regulation lays down the basic principles for all materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.

What the Rules of Procedure

The Reg. EC 1935/2004 lays the foundations for ensuring a high level of protection of human health and consumer interests. It establishes that materials in contact with food must not release substances in quantities likely to endanger human health or resulting in an unacceptable change in the composition of foods or a deterioration in their organoleptic characteristics.

Obligations for Companies

Companies must ensure that materials in contact with food comply not only with the framework regulation but also with all the specific measures that may apply.
Systems and procedures must be implemented to ensure that:

  • The materials used are suitable for their intended use and meet safety requirements.
  • It is maintained a complete and updated documentation that can track the compliance of each product.
  • Regular checks and tests are carried out to ensure that there is no migration of dangerous substances.
  • The traceability of products is ensured at all stages to facilitate the control, recall of defective products, information to consumers and the attribution of liability.
  • There should be adequate labelling of the materials so that they can be used properly.

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)

The regulation underlines the importance of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Companies must adopt GMP to ensure that FCM production takes place under hygienic and controlled conditions, preventing contamination and ensuring product safety and compliance.

Adherence to EC Reg. 1935/2004 is a legal obligation and an ethical responsibility for Companies in the sector. Understanding and applying the provisions of the Regulation is essential to protect consumers and maintain confidence in the food market.
