Workshop

Establishing Food-Contact Compliance for Novel Materials

Catalysts, Coatings, Adhesives, Laminates, Colorants, Surfactants et al in the EU, US, and Elsewhere

Tuesday 8 December 2009, 14:00-17:00

Who should attend
Regulatory professionals with responsibility for establishing food-contact compliance of materials used in plastics and paper which do not fall neatly into the categories of monomers or additives. In addition, the workshop will be of value to professionals with responsibility for products and packages which are made with these materials. Finally, the workshop will be helpful to professionals who must explain to customers and management how the regulatory treatment of these "slightly peculiar" materials differs from the treatment of the more typical monomers and additives.

Agenda:

• Overview of the food-contact regulation of catalysts, coatings, adhesives, laminates, colorants, surfactants, et al in the EU, US, and selected other significant markets
• Practical guidance on bringing these materials and products made with the materials to global markets in ways which satisfy regulators and customers
• Special regulatory issues (and solutions) relating to these materials
