The European Union's official journal has published new regulations (EU) No 10/2011 concerning plastic products that come into contact with food.

  • 2011-08-23

On January 15, 2011, the Official Journal of the European Union published a new regulation (EU) No 10/2011 concerning plastic articles of contact with food. This new regulation fully superseded EU Directives 80/766/EEC, 81/432/EEC, and 2002/72/EC from May 1, 2011. The new regulation eliminates the discrepancies between EU national laws and the specific requirements for plastic articles of contact with food. The plastic articles referred to include: materials or articles made entirely of plastic; materials or articles made of multiple layers of plastic bonded together by adhesives or other means; plastic layers in materials and articles made of multiple layers of different materials; and caps, gaskets, and other devices used for sealing, consisting of two or more layers of different types of materials. However, this regulation does not apply to ion exchange resins, rubber, or silicone resins. Accordingly, substances used in the plastic layer of plastic articles, especially childcare products and feeding tools, must comply with the relevant requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and are regulated by Regulation (EC) No 10/2011. The specific requirements and general restrictions on substances in plastic articles under the new EU regulation are summarized as follows: 1. Only substances included in the Union-approved list of substances (Annex I of the new regulation) may be used in the plastic layer of plastic articles. 2. Substances used in the plastic layer of plastic articles must not exceed the Specific Migration Limits (SML) and the General Migration Limits.

General food contactAccording to Annex 1 of EU Regulation 10/2011, the limit for unspecified substances is 60 mg/kg.10mg/dm2

3. The amounts of substances released from plastic products containing food or food stimulants (as follows) must not exceed the specific migration limits:

*Substances not listed on the Alliance Approved List are excluded.

Products legally placed on the market before May 1, 2011, may still be used until December 31, 2012. From January 1, 2013, products placed on the EU market must undergo overall and specific migration testing in accordance with Directive 82/711/EEC, or migration testing in accordance with the new regulations, and be accompanied by a declaration of conformity. These products may then be allowed to continue to be used on the market until December 31, 2015.
