Compliance with EU food contact material regulations is rarely difficult because of a lack of rules. It is difficult because of misinterpretation, incorrect testing strategies, and weak linkage between formulation, migration testing, and documentation. Many non-compliances arise not from formulation errors, but from choosing the wrong simulants, test conditions, or compliance approach. 

This advanced training focuses on practical compliance with EU harmonized regulations for food contact materials, with strong emphasis on migration testing strategy and regulatory decision-making. You will gain clarity on how to correctly apply Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, Regulation (EU) No 10/2011, and related EU guidance documents to real materials and finished articles. The training explains how to select appropriate migration tests, identify relevant substances and NIAS, interpret overall and specific migration results, and align laboratory testing with regulatory expectations. You will learn how to avoid common mistakes that lead to test failures, re-testing cycles, and regulatory challenges. 

Beyond testing, the training addresses documentation, declarations of compliance, supplier data evaluation, and regulatory updates, helping you build a robust and defensible compliance strategy. By the end of the training, you will be able to design compliant testing plans, evaluate lab reports confidently, and reduce regulatory risk across the product lifecycle.
