The 2024 Technical Guide on Documentation Supporting Compliance and Safety of Food Contact Materials and Articles has been published to help businesses ensure their products meet safety and regulatory standards.

This guide details the documentation required for compliance with Council of Europe Resolution CM/Res(2020)9, which sets out principles for the safety and quality of materials in contact with food. It should be used alongside material-specific guides, as well as relevant EU and national regulations.

Developed by a specialized working group under the European Committee for Food Contact Materials and Articles (CD-P-MCA), the guide includes a comprehensive checklist to assist with compliance documentation and declarations of conformity.
