Ensuring Compliance and Supply Chain Transparency with Accurate Declarations of Compliance
A Declaration of Compliance (DoC) is a critical self-issued document that suppliers of food contact materials (FCMs) and intermediates must provide throughout the supply chain—excluding the retail stage—to ensure product safety and regulatory compliance. It specifies which food contact legislation the product meets and may detail how compliance was demonstrated, such as through migration testing or theoretical calculations. By enabling traceability and transparency, the DoC supports all actors in the value chain in verifying that the final article is compliant before reaching consumers.
Our white paper examines the legal requirements for Declarations of Compliance under multiple European regulations, including Regulation (EU) 2022/1616 on recycled plastic materials and articles intended to contact food, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation 2025/40 (PPPWR), and Regulation (EU) 2024/3190 on the use of Bisphenol A (BPA) and other bisphenols.
By downloading this white paper, readers will gain a clear understanding of the essential components of a fully compliant Declaration of Compliance and its role within the broader supply chain.
You will learn what each relevant regulation requires for DoC content, why compliance is critical at every stage of manufacturing. This knowledge will help you reduce the risk of costly non-compliance, streamline regulatory audits and strengthen transparency throughout your supply chain.
