Ceramic articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs

Draft Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine "On approval of the Requirements for ceramic articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs". Language(s): Ukrainian. Number of pages: 7

The draft Order provides for the approval of the Requirements for ceramic articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.

The Requirements establish the maximum residue level of lead and cadmium migration from ceramic articles which, in their finished state, are intended to come into contact with foodstuffs, as well as the basic rules for determining the migration of lead and cadmium and the methods of their analysis.

Ceramic articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs produced before the entry into force of this Order may be in circulation until the expiry date (period) of their validity.

The draft Order is designed to implement Council Directive 84/500/EEC of 15 October 1984 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to ceramic articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. Given the existence of provisions concerning the declaration of ceramic articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs, the draft Order is also notified in accordance with the requirements of the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade.
