Regulatory & Compliance

Food Contact Application

Food contact materials in the European Union are subject to the requirements of European Regulation 1935/2004, laying down general requirements that materials should not transfer their constituents to food in quantities that may endanger human health. The principle regulation for plastic materials intended to come into contact with foodstuffs is Commission Regulation 2011/10/EC. Vinyl chloride presence, detectable by a method complying with the criteria set out in Article 11 of Regulation (EC) N° 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules, is restricted to a maximum level of 1 mg/kg in materials and articles. Commission Regulation 2011/10/EC introduced an overall migration limit to the final article of 10 mg/dm² or 60 mg/kg (60 ppm). VYNOVA resins are manufactured using only monomers and starting substances listed in Annex 1 of Commission Regulation 2011/10/EC. Compositions based on our resins, when processed in accordance with best known practice, are believed to comply with the mentioned migration limits. It remains however the responsibility of the manufacturer to conduct relevant tests on the final article to assure appropriate migration requirements are satisfied.

Drinking Water

For materials that will come into contact with drinking water, national regulations apply. Responsibility for compliance of the final article with these regulations is the manufacturer’s responsibility. VYNOVA can liaise with national bodies and/or testing facilities to make sure that relevant information is used in assessing the customer’s products. VYNOVA’s products are supplied on the strict understanding that the customer/manufacturer of the final article will ensure that all relevant regulations have been complied with. Assistance from our Sales and Application Support staff is available at any time.

Note: It is the responsibility of the customer and producer of the end product to ensure that the final material or article complies with all relevant regulations.
