Food Contact Materials and Articles Testing

2026-09-01

      Food Contact Materials and Articles, abbreviated as FCM, refer to materials and articles that are or may come into contact with food or food additives under intended use conditions, or whose components may migrate into food.

 

      Products cover the entire chain of food production, processing, packaging, transportation, storage, sale and use. They include various packaging materials, containers, tools and equipment, as well as auxiliary materials such as inks, adhesives and lubricants that may directly or indirectly contact food.

 

      At present, China, the EU, the United States, Japan, South Korea and many other countries and regions have established dedicated regulatory systems for food contact materials, imposing clear control requirements for product safety and compliance. For products to circulate in target markets, compliance testing and assessment are generally required in accordance with local regulations or customer specifications.

 

      HATEK provides enterprises with technical services including multi-country regulatory interpretation and compliance testing for food contact materials. We help clients sort out applicable standards and test items, conduct sample testing and conformity assessment, and offer technical support for smooth market expansion and the establishment of robust internal quality control systems.
