China's plastic food and kitchen appliances export European standard
With the development of national economy and the quickening pace of life, the demand for packaged food has increased greatly, and the demand for packaging materials has increased. In order to meet the demand, some food packaging manufacturers work overtime and overload, only to catch the delivery time and complete production tasks, while ignoring the control of residual solvents. The raw materials have been deviated from the process of low control, drying temperature and time, resulting in many cases of residual solvents.
Recently, the European Union issued new regulations to revise the requirements for food contact with plastic materials and products. The newly revised requirements are mainly: two new types of monomers that can be used to make food contact materials; The specific migration limit of dicyandiamide monomer is 60mg/kg; The restriction of the original material 1.3-phenyl dimethylamine was changed by the restriction of the individual migration restriction to the common restriction of the addition of the phenyldimethyl isocyanate, which is 0.05 mg/kg. The restrictions are updated. The new rules will come into force 20 days after the release date, and set a buffer period, which can be continued until March 24, 2015, even if it does not comply with the requirements of the regulations.
In recent years, various countries, especially the European Union, have been making a lot of laws and regulations, standard limits and detection methods related to food contact materials. The European Union's new regulations on the entry of plastic products into the market have had a certain impact on the export of plastic food and kitchen appliances in China, increasing the production and inspection costs of enterprises.
At present, there are many problems in the design and development of plastic food and kitchen appliances in China. Most of the products that export plastic food and kitchen appliances are designed with more products, less independent research and development products, and strong adherence to product research and development, and low independent innovation ability.
It is understood that the food contact materials group of the European food safety agency approved four new food contact materials, including two kinds of oxygen absorbent, one additive and one plasticizer. Experts say the food contact materials regulations generally has the material list allows you to use in production of monomer and additives, some of the risk of material more involves the dosage and the largest migration quantity request, producers can according to the requirements to choose the appropriate ratio of raw materials and production.
