The marked products comply with the lawful regulations of the German Consumer Goods Ordinance and Directives (EC) No. 1935/2004 and Commission Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 as amended. In the testing for compliance with the threshold values for the global migration (or respectively, the specific migration threshold values), no determinations exceeded the allowed values. In addition, sensory testing found no olfactory and flavour-related impairments. The testing was implemented according to Art. 17 and Art. 18 of Commision Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 in conjunction with Annex V by an independent, accredited institute. All source materials used in the manufacturing of the products are listed in the German Consumer Goods Ordinance as at 20.12.2006, or respectively, Directive (EU) 10/2011, in accordance with the present attestation. Therefore, they represent permissible source materials in accordance with food law and may be used in the production of food commodities in accordance with the specified restrictions concerning migration threshold values and permissible residual content in the end product. Marked SAN products are suitable for contact with all aqueous, alcoholic and fatty foods, providing that a contact period of 24 hours and a contact temperature of 40 °C are not exceeded.
