Notice of China National Food Industry Association on Soliciting Opinions on the "Requirements

In the near future, I will plan to organize the formulation of the group standard "Requirements for Declaration of Conformity of Inks Used in Food Contact Materials and Products", and the project description is as follows:
 
　　Purpose: To help the upstream and downstream of the supply chain to better understand the general and specific requirements of the declaration of conformity of food contact inks and effectively transmit them, so as to guide the industry to do a good job in the compliance and safety assessment of food contact inks to ensure food safety and consumer health.
 
Significance and necessity: Various chemicals　　such as pigments, additives, linking resins and solvents are added during the production and use of inks for food contact materials and products, and are produced by multi-level suppliers, which is an important focus of food packaging safety . To ensure the compliance of food contact inks, it is necessary to realize the effective transmission of compliance declarations from upstream chemical raw material suppliers, to intermediate ink manufacturers, downstream food packaging molded product companies, and even food companies. documents are standardized. At this stage, there is a lack of ink standards for food contact materials and products in my country, so the industry urgently needs corresponding group standards to guide and standardize the writing and delivery of the declaration of conformity.
 
　　The formulation of this standard is intended to serve as a framework and general guidance for the declaration of conformity of inks used in food contact. The standard will clarify the requirements for the declaration of conformity of inks used in food contact, and can also provide a certain reference for the formulation of guidelines for other materials in the future.
