Plastics used in contact with food in the EU are governed by framework rules and specific measures for plastic materials. Selection depends on the food type the temperature the contact time and the surface that touches the product. We can help select grades with suitable documentation and then produce parts to drawing with a Certificate of Conformity.
To match a grade and documentation we need to know the medium for example aqueous fatty or acidic the contact temperature and the exposure time. We also need to know if the part is in repeated contact or single contact. Share this at the quote stage so we can respond with realistic options and documentation.
Clear shields often use PETG or polycarbonate depending on requirements. Opaque parts may use certain grades of PP HDPE or other approved plastics. Final suitability depends on grade and supplier documentation. We can propose options and share available statements for the selected grade.
For the chosen material we will request available supplier declarations and any relevant statements for the intended use. We cut to size machine and finish parts and ship with a Certificate of Conformity. Keep the link between the selected grade and the application in your records for audits and repeat orders.
