DoC Management Service – Fulfilling requirements effortlessly
Materials that come into contact with food must meet various legal requirements. For example, Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 states that a Declaration of Compliance (DoC) is required for plastics that come into contact with food. With such a declaration, a company confirms the conformity of its materials with applicable requirements.
The difficulty: packaging, household appliances and other food contact products consist of numerous components from different suppliers. It is often difficult to maintain an overview here. The DoC is intended to ensure transparency along the entire supply chain. This means that documents and evidence are required from many different suppliers. In addition, the legal requirements differ from country to country and are regularly updated. Therefore, you should rely on the support of experts who are very familiar with the requirements in the area of food contact materials and are always up to date.
Our DoC Management Service is your advantage
TÜV Rheinland helps you with declarations of conformity for food contact products along the entire supply chain. If required, we can provide you with advice during the development phase of new food contact materials – for example, for sustainable products.
With our DoC Management Service, you can avoid liability risks that arise, for example, if you were not yet aware of new regulations in a country. With the help of our services, you can effectively protect your company from reputational damage and economic losses.
Our position as a neutral third party enables us to obtain important information from your suppliers quickly and easily. Confidential data is optimally protected by comprehensive non-disclosure agreements. With our support, you save time and effort that you can invest elsewhere.
