5. Royal Decree on metal and alloy materials and articles intended to come into contact with food

6. Materials and articles intended to come into contact with food

7. - Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food and repealing Directives 80/590/EEC and 89/109/EEC

8. The purpose of this draft royal decree is to regulate materials made of metals and alloys which are intended to come into contact with food. The present text lays down specific release limits for metals as well as the information to be included in declarations of conformity.
The text is based on Council of Europe Resolution CM/Res(2013)9 on metals and alloys used in food contact materials and articles.

9. The lack of specific European legislation on metal and alloy materials and articles intended to come into contact with food poses a serious problem of uncertainty for both governments and industry. Article 3 of Regulation 1935/2004 is insufficient for ensuring a high level of consumer health protection. It was therefore decided to prepare a draft national regulation integrating the principle of mutual recognition so that industry can unambiguously ensure that products comply with the legislation.
This legislation ensures a higher degree of consumer health protection by laying down specific release limits for metals and alloys in contact with food, as well as specific release limits for metal pollutants and impurities in the aforementioned metals and alloys.

10. Numbers or titles of the basic texts: Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food and repealing Directives 80/590/EEC and 89/109/EEC
