On 14 January 2011, the European Commission (EC) adopted a new Regulation on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food, Materials such as rubber, silicones and ion exchange resins do not fall under its scope. The new Regulation introduces several changes to the legal requirements for these products and entered into force on 4 February 2011 and shall apply from 1 May 2011.
In order to provide sufficient time for manufacturers who need to change their processes in order to comply with the new requirements, the EC has defined a number of transitional provisions from 1 May 2011 to 31 December 2015.
Background This new European Regulation No.10/2011 is a specific measure within the context of Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EC) No.1935/2004 and establishes the Rules to be applied for the safe use of plastic materials and articles in contact with food. As a Regulation, it is directly applicable to all Member States and did not have to enter the lengthy process, (often 12 months are necessary), required for national legislation to be transposed into law. The previous directive on this topic (Commission Directive 2002/72/EC of 6 August 2002) is also repealed. It was felt that the authorisation of new substances was delayed by the transposition process, and therefore it was appropriate to instead adopt Rules regarding plastic materials and articles allowing for more innovation and faster application.
