📊 Do you want to verify your compliance level?
Each process is customized based on the regulatory needs and specific company characteristics, ensuring tailored solutions for effective compliance management. They define the specific criteria.
The most effective way to verify the correctness of the path taken and compliance with the established specifications is an ISO 17020-accredited inspection of materials and objects intended for contact with food (FMC), carried out thanks to an exclusive partnership with the TTR institute, an accredited body.
Our field experience working alongside companies has highlighted the usefulness of audits, as company needs vary significantly in the food contact materials sector; good manufacturing practice requirements differ across the packaging, kitchenware, small appliances, industrial machinery, and other sectors.
The raw material import and product distribution markets also have a significant impact, establishing highly diverse requirements. Some situations may require verification of the purity of raw materials, production aids, and cross-contamination in warehouses or production facilities; others may require validation of cleaning procedures, dosages, or critical measurements.
Labeling, self-monitoring plans, and preventative measures, as well as proper supply chain communication, depend on the specific products or processes.
The activities are carried out in synergy and with the collaboration of experts at Food Contact Center s.r.l.
