  FEICA contribution to the REACH revision public consultation 

  As part of the ambition to reach zero pollution for a toxic-free environment established by the European Green Deal, the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability announced the revision of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH).
  The European Commission has launched a public consultation allowing stakeholders to provide feedback on the proposed revisions. FEICA submitted its responses to the questionnaire in the public consultation.

• A Tailored Risk Assessment for Food Contact Materials.pdf

  Uploaded April 11, 2022

  FEICA co-signs 'Tailored Risk Assessment for Food Contact Materials' (FCM)

  Numerous associations propose an approach where substances undergo a “one substance - one assessment”, consisting of a first step “one substance- one hazard assessment” in which the hazard is defined by the intrinsic properties of the substance. This should be followed by a second step of a “FCM specific risk assessment and management” for food contact materials and articles, in which the risk resulting from potential oral exposure is assessed. We believe that EFSA is best positioned to provide such specific FCM assessment due to their extensive experience in food safety-related matters, and in the assessment of substances in dietary exposure.

  FEICA co-signs ASMoR Position Paper on the CARACAL paper CA/19/2022 on Generic Risk Approach (GRA)

  ASMoR and its members hope that this submission will help the EU debates on the reform of chemical risk management and will make a significant contribution to the ongoing debate, particularly in the context of the GRA discussions.

  The Alliance for Sustainable Management of Chemical Risk (‘ASMoR’) is an alliance of more than 30 members that share a common position on the Essential Use Concept (‘EUC’) in EU chemicals policy.

• FEICA recommendation on PAAs in polyurethane adhesives intended to be used in food packaging.pdf

  Uploaded March 30, 2022

  FEICA recommendation to adhesive suppliers and users on the assessment of PAAs in polyurethane adhesives intended to be used in food packaging

  Polyurethane adhesives do not contain Primary Aromatic Amines (PAAs). However, in specific circumstances and when the adhesive is not fully cured, they can be formed by a reaction.  Consequently, the adhesive user has to be made aware of the potential formation of PAAs and their responsibility to ensure full curing of the adhesive layer.

  FEICA updated its recommendation to adhesive suppliers and users on the assessment of PAAs in polyurethane adhesives intended to be used in food packaging. The recommendation includes advice to the downstream user as regards the limits to be respected for PAAs.

• FEICA Guidance for a food contact status declaration for adhesives.pdf

  Uploaded March 28, 2022

  Guidance for a food contact status declaration for adhesives

  This guidance is primarily for the benefit of FEICA members who are manufacturing adhesives for the food packaging and food service sector. In addition, the guidance is of interest both to users of food contact adhesives, such as packaging producers and their downstream users, and to other stakeholders involved in regulatory matters regarding food contact. Much of the guidance’s usefulness lies in its review of various legal texts related to adhesives, and food contact in the interest of providing pertinent information to all parties along the supply chain. There is also an extensive treatment of requirements placed on adhesive producers.

  FEICA Position Paper on the Mixture Assessment Factor (MAF)

  Under the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability, the European Commission plans to put a system in place that covers the combination effects of unintentional chemical mixtures. Because of the complexity linked to regulating an almost infinite number of possible combinations of chemicals, the concept of a Mixture Assessment Factor (MAF) was launched. This position paper discusses FEICA’s view that the introduction of a MAF should be risk-proportionate, workable and effective.
