Products for the food indus­try – Food­Grade (FG)

Food­Grade (FG) products for the food industry

The deve­lo­p­ment and manu­fac­ture of products used in highly sensi­tive areas such as food produc­tion is also stan­dard for us. Examp­les include screw convey­ors, pistons, housings and meter­ing need­les. With the intro­duc­tion of our FG product range, we respon­ded very early to the requi­re­ments arising from Regu­la­ti­ons (EC) 1935/2004 and (EU) 10/2011.

We offer a wide range of mate­ri­als that meet the requi­re­ments of EU Regu­la­tion 10/2011 as well as the US FDA Regu­la­tion. The basic aim of both regu­la­ti­ons is to prevent subs­tances from migra­ting from the plas­tic mate­rial into the product.

Regu­la­tion (EC) No. 1935/2004 and (EU) No. 10/2011

When orde­ring, we require the indi­ca­tion that the product is to be manu­fac­tu­red in accordance with the requi­re­ments of EU Regu­la­tion 10/2011. Our process then begins with item crea­tion, order entry and mate­rial allo­ca­tion and conti­nues through the entire manu­fac­tu­ring process. All process and manu­fac­tu­ring steps at our company and, if appli­ca­ble, also at our suppli­ers are control­led, docu­men­ted and carried out within the frame­work of Regu­la­tion (EC) No. 2023/2006 – Good Manu­fac­tu­ring Prac­tice (GMP).

You will receive a certi­fi­cate with all TEPLAST FG products upon deli­very. This lists the mate­rial-speci­fic migra­tion values (OML and SML) and data on the manu­fac­tu­ring process and tracea­bi­lity. TEPLAST FG products are ther­e­fore 100 percent legally compli­ant and EU-compli­ant. If the EU 10/2011 requi­re­ment is only brought to our atten­tion after deli­very, certi­fi­ca­tion is usually no longer possible.

FDA (US Food & Drug Administration)

FDA-compli­ant plas­tics are clas­si­fied as compli­ant by the semi-finis­hed product manu­fac­tu­rer over a longer period of time. So if you choose an FDA compli­ant plas­tic for your product, we can also issue the FDA decla­ra­tion of compli­ance after­wards. Tracea­bi­lity is not a manda­tory part of FDA.

The data sheets for this mate­rial and other mate­ri­als can be found in our down­load center.
