Geleen, Netherlands – Intertek, a leading provider of quality and safety solutions worldwide will feature the key challenges facing clients with the ongoing expansion of food contact compliance issues and regulations at Interpack 2014 in Dusseldorf, Germany.

As the regulatory landscape for food packaging materials becomes more complicated, food manufacturers, food packers, and food packaging producers can find it challenging to understand the latest developments in chemical safety and  food contact regulations. Regulatory changes in international markets need to be tracked in order to adapt production processes, product design and compliance programs to meet their obligations and prove compliance.

Intertek has established a partnership with Decernis which brings a unique systematic solution for global compliance by combining Intertek regulatory expertise, and technical capabilities with innovative Decernis software and compliance management systems for food contact materials and products. The system supports supply chain management through the provision of regulatory news updates and the necessary compliance documentation. Experts will be on hand to discuss this combined service to the European packaging market during Interpack 2014.

Intertek’s Vice President Health, Environmental and Regulatory Services Ruud Overbeek says: ”Driven by the market need for an integrated approach to food contact compliance challenges, we are delighted to offer a combined solution offering to our European customers. Our partnership with Decernis allows customers to manage current and future regulatory compliance risks and so improve speed to market based on increased awareness of any regulatory risk or threat”.

Intertek experts will be available at the Intertek booth in hall 07, booth A03 to provide more information on this service offering in addition to the existing packaging industry service portfolio.
