The Regulation introduces high-purity requirements for substances used in plastic manufacturing. Entity responsible for placing on the market a final plastic food contact article intended for repeated use shall provide to its users adequate information as required. The Regulation also enhances oversight of the entire manufacturing process, including the sampling of intermediate substances to confirm their purity. Plastic materials and articles compliant with Regulation (EU) No 10/2011, as applicable before this Regulation's entry into force, may continue to be marketed until stocks are exhausted, provided they were first placed on the market before September 16, 2026.
