The sanitary regulations about the materials and products from the processed plastic intended for contact with foodstuff (further – Regulations), shift provisions of Regulations of the Commission No. 282/2008/EC of March 27, 2008 about the materials and products from the processed plastic intended for contact with foodstuff and about modification of Regulations (EC) No. 2023/2006 and No. 1935/2004, subitems a), c), d), e), f), h), i) and j) Item is specific measure in the context of Regulations (EU) (1) Article 5, transferred to the national legal system by Sanitary regulations on the materials and products intended for contact with foodstuff, the approved Order of the Government No. 308 of April 29, 2011.

I. General provisions

1. These Regulations are applied to materials and products from plastic and to their components intended for contact with foodstuff as it is specified in Item 1 of Sanitary regulations on the materials and products from plastic intended for the contact with foodstuff approved by the Order of the Government No. 278 of April 24, 2013 which contain the processed plastic (further – materials and products from the processed plastic).

1) the materials and products from the processed plastic made of the monomers and raw materials received by chemical depolymerization of materials and products from plastic;

2) the materials and products from the processed plastic made from the waste formed as a result of cutting, and/or the waste received owing to production process according to the Order of the Government No. 278 of April 24, 2013 which are processed on site productions or are utilized in other place;

3) materials and products from the processed plastic in which the processed plastic is used behind functional barrier from plastic as it is specified in the Order of the Government No. 278 of April 24, 2013.

the scheme of distribution of materials in the closed and controlled chain – cycles of production and distribution in which products circulate within controlled system of reuse and distribution and in which the processed materials come only from chain elements so that inadvertent introduction of external material corresponded to engineering procedure;

raw materials from the processed food plastic – the materials and products from the processed plastic collected and uses sorted later which are used as raw materials in the course of conversion;

conversion process – process within which it is made processed plastic;

the processor – the physical person or legal entity responsible for ensuring compliance with these Regulations concerning conversion process which will be executed at the companies under its management;
