Commission Regulation amending Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food (Text with EEA relevance)

The proposed Commission Regulation would amend Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 is a specific Regulation within the framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004. The latter sets out principles and procedures applicable to food contact materials. This amendment authorises 3 new substances, modifies the conditions of use of one substance, introduces a group migration limit for one substance, clarifies the types of migrants that are to be used in foods with a certain pH, introduces requirements for the migration testing for the migrating oligomers for one of the newly authorised substance when it is used for the production or polycarbonates other than the ones covered by the specific authorisation, and corrects minor typographical errors.
