Compliance with EU food contact material regulations is rarely difficult because of a lack of rules. It is difficult because of misinterpretation, incorrect testing strategies, and weak linkage between formulation, migration testing, and documentation. Many non-compliances arise not from formulation errors, but from choosing the wrong simulants, test conditions, or compliance approach. This advanced training focuses on practical compliance with EU harmonized regulations for food contact materials, with strong emphasis on migration testing strategy and regulatory decision-making. You will gain clarity on how to correctly apply Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, Regulation (EU) No 10/2011, and related EU guidance documents to real materials and finished articles. The training explains how to select appropriate migration tests, identify relevant substances and NIAS, interpret overall and specific migration results, and align laboratory testing with regulatory expectations. You will learn how to avoid common mistakes that lead to test failures, re-testing cycles, and regulatory challenges. Beyond testing, the training addresses documentation, declarations of compliance, supplier data evaluation, and regulatory updates, helping you build a robust and defensible compliance strategy. By the end of the training, you will be able to design compliant testing plans, evaluate lab reports confidently, and reduce regulatory risk across the product lifecycle.
This training is for professionals who are responsible for compliance decisions, not just awareness;
1. Avoid wrong migration test setups: Learn how to choose correct simulants, temperatures, and test conditions so compliant materials do not fail unnecessarily.
2. Interpret lab reports with confidence: Understand overall migration, specific migration, and NIAS results instead of relying blindly on lab conclusions.
3. Reduce re-testing and launch delays: Identify common compliance mistakes that trigger repeat testing, reformulation, and product holds.
4. Create defensible compliance documentation: Build robust Declarations of Compliance supported by correct test data and supplier information.
5. Manage regulatory updates without disruption: Apply changes in EU food contact regulations to existing materials without stopping supply or production.
Anyone responsible for showing that the food contact plastic materials or articles produced by their company are compliant with the requirements of EU law, in particular:
- Regulatory affairs professionals and formulators
- Quality managers and quality department employees
- R&D and Technical directors
- Other technical managers and executives; and
- Anyone who wish to understand the legal requirements
