What the materials cover

This basic course gives quality assurance, development, packaging technology, purchasing and production staff an overview of current food contact regulations for plastic packaging and how they are applied in practice. The presentation materials cover the legal framework, including the current version of Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 (PIM), migration testing, declarations of conformity and responsibility along the supply chain. They also address interactions between food and packaging. Exercises on document review and on selecting migration tests help deepen these topics. The materials are relevant for anyone assessing these issues or implementing them in their company, and they provide a basis for discussing different implementation approaches.
