Compliance & Certifications

❓ What is FDA 21 CFR 175.300?

FDA 21 CFR 175.300 is the US regulation for resinous and polymeric coatings used as food contact surfaces. It specifies which raw materials are permitted and sets migration limits. Our water-based flexo inks are tested to this standard for indirect food contact applications.

❓ What does "low migration" mean for printing inks?

Low migration inks are formulated to minimize the transfer of ink components through packaging into food or pharmaceutical products. They use high-purity raw materials, avoid prohibited photoinitiators (such as benzophenone and ITX), and are tested for overall and specific migration limits.

❓ Do you provide EU 10/2011 compliance documentation?

Yes. For plastic food contact materials, we provide declarations of compliance and migration test reports for applicable product families. Contact our technical team for the specific ink series you are using.

❓ What is the difference between RoHS and REACH?

RoHS restricts specific hazardous substances (lead, mercury, cadmium, etc.) in electrical equipment. REACH is a broader EU regulation covering the registration, evaluation, and authorization of chemicals, including SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern). We test our inks for both.

❓ Can I request a custom test for my specific application?

Absolutely. We work with accredited third-party laboratories (SGS, Intertek, etc.) and can arrange custom migration, biocompatibility, or sterilization testing based on your substrate and end-use conditions.

❓ Are these test reports free to download?

Yes, the reports on this page are available for download. For additional documentation (custom tests, declarations under NDA), please contact our technical team.
