EU food contact regulations
for safe food processing
Do you know the differences between EC 1935/2004 and 2002/72/EC, and EU 10/2011?
Do you understand what overall migration means?
Are you aware that every belting product needs its own certicate for direct food contact?
If you are unsure about the answers, you can nd them all in this leaet. It
covers the most important issues regarding regulations about food contact
materials in the European Union on processes where plastic materials are
used. The information is valid for all belt products in direct contact with
foodstuffs – whether fabric-based conveyor belts, plastic modular belts,
plastic chains, and round or timing belts.

Habasit knows the law
Habasit has always respected the laws on food conveyor and processing
belts, and keeps fully up-to-date with all current requirements. Regardless
of where a belt application takes place, we ensure that the EU regulations in
force for the product are met.

Legal harmonization
The directives and regulations in force within the European Union and its
member states can be demanding and are not always easy to understand.
To simplify matters, the EU started to harmonize legislation on food contact
materials several years ago. Currently, harmonized legislation only exists for
a few materials. Legislation on ceramics, plastics and regenerated cellulose
can be considered complete, while other areas are pending and further
developments are expected.
