About the Food-Contact Materials DoC (EU 1935/2004)

Packaging manufacturers and food distributors operating in the European market are legally required to verify that their materials are safe for human health. Creating a standardized EU food-contact Declaration of Compliance establishes full supply chain traceability and ensures adherence to strict migration limits. Quality managers can quickly generate customized documents that verify material safety, compliance with specific directives, and traceability for downstream buyers.

How it works

  1. Enter the company details for both the manufacturer and the importer or downstream user.
  2. Select the type of food contact material being certified, such as plastics, ceramics, or paper.
  3. Input the overall and specific migration limit testing results.
  4. Generate a formalized Declaration of Compliance document ready for signature.

Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of a Declaration of Compliance for food contact materials?

A DoC serves as a legal assurance from the manufacturer that their materials will not transfer harmful constituents into food in quantities that endanger human health or unacceptably change the food's composition.

Which materials require a specific EU DoC?

While the Framework Regulation (EC) 1935/2004 applies to all food contact materials, specific detailed DoCs are explicitly mandated for plastics, active and intelligent materials, ceramics, and regenerated cellulose film under their respective EU measures.

How long must a manufacturer retain DoC documentation?

Manufacturers and importers must keep the DoC and the supporting documentation (such as laboratory testing data) on file for at least five years, making it available to enforcement authorities upon request.

Do I need to provide supporting test data with the DoC to my customers?

You do not typically need to provide the raw laboratory test data directly to customers, but the DoC itself must clearly reference the safety regulations met and confirm that supporting documentation is available to regulatory authorities.
