THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, 

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, 

Having regard to <strong>Regulation</strong> (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the 

Council of 27 October 2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food 

and repealing Directives 80/590/EEC and 89/109/EEC 1 , and in particular Article 5(1) (e), (g), 

(h), (i), and (j) thereof, 

After consulting with the European Food Safety Authority, 

Whereas (not complete yet?): 

(1) <strong>Regulation</strong> (EC) No 1935/2004 lays down the general principles for eliminating the 

differences between the laws of the Member States as regards food contact materials. 

Article 5(1) of that <strong>Regulation</strong> provides for the adoption of specific measures for 

groups of materials and articles. 

(2) This <strong>Regulation</strong> is a specific measure within the meaning of Article 5(1) of <strong>Regulation</strong> 

(EC) No 1935/2004. This <strong>Regulation</strong> should establish the specific rules for ceramic 

materials and articles to be applied for their safe use and supersedes Council Directive 

84/500/EEC of 15 October 1984 on the approximation of the laws of the Member 

States relating to ceramic articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs 2 , and 

amended by <strong>Commission</strong> Directive 2005/31/EC of 29 April 2005 3 . 

(3) Directive 84/500/EEC sets out limits for the transfer of lead and cadmium from 

ceramic articles which are intended to come into contact with food. New scientific

evidence published by the European Food Safety Authority shows that these limits 

need to be reduced 4,5 . 

(4) In the future scientific evidence may become available for other metals, requiring the 

addition of further limits. The Directive does not establish a means for changing or 

adding such limits. In addition other aspects of the Directive require changes and 

updates for reasons of clarity and consistency with other legislation in the food contact 

materials sector, including the provisions laying down the testing rules, declaration of 

compliance and supporting documentation, and the overall structure. Therefore a new 

measure under Article 5(1) of <strong>Regulation</strong> (EC) No 1935/2004 is considered the most 

appropriate. 

(5) In the past Directive 84/500/EEC and its amendment have been transposed into 

national legislation without any major adaptation. For transposition into national law 

usually a time period of 12 months is necessary. Because due to the nature of this 

legislation there is little room for adaptation during transposition without affecting the 

single market, it seems appropriate to adopt rules on ceramic materials and articles in 

form of a <strong>Regulation</strong> directly applicable in all Member States. 

(6) Final articles made of ceramic materials may be enamelled or glazed, and may be 

decorated. The ceramic material, the enamel or glazing, and the decoration may all 

contribute to the migration of the constituents of the final article into food. These 

materials were considered in the scope of Directive 84/500/EEC but without adequate 

definitions. For reasons of clarity such definitions should be inserted. 

(7) Articles and materials in the scope of this <strong>Regulation</strong> may be produced from a large 

number of starting materials. From a health point of view the regulation should allow 

to set specific migration limits for substances taking into account the foreseen use of 

the material. Therefore it is appropriate to add specific limits on the migration of 

certain substances or groups of substances from ceramic materials into or on to food 

that are considered unsafe without such limits. 

(8) To ensure and/or to check compliance with the limits required by this <strong>Regulation</strong> or 

with Articles 3 and 4 of <strong>Regulation</strong> (EC) No 1935/2004, in some cases it may be 

needed to either complement or replace a limit on a substance with specific rules. Such 

rules may include specific labelling requirements, requirements for the declaration of 

compliance or supporting documentation and specific rules and derogations applicable 

to ceramic articles or materials in stock after entry into force of a limit or for antiques. 

For this purpose it should be possible to specify restrictions other than migration limits 

for substances possibly migrating from materials and articles in the scope of this 

<strong>Regulation</strong>. 

(9) The specific migration limit is a maximum permitted amount of a substance in food. 

This limit should ensure that the food contact material does not pose a risk to health. It 

should be ensured by the manufacturer that materials and articles in the scope of this 

<strong>Regulation</strong> will respect these limits when brought into contact with food under the

worst foreseeable contact conditions. Given that the size and shape of the final ceramic 

articles and materials is known, migration shall be determined using the size and shape 

of the final article. 

(10) Parts of final articles in the scope of this <strong>Regulation</strong> may come into direct contact with 

the mouth. From such parts, notably from the rim of cups, exposure is different due to 

oral contact and has to be tested therefore in a different way. In addition these parts 

may be made out of different materials than the rest of the article. Specific procedures 

and limits for these parts are therefore required to protect human health against 

hazards arising from oral contact with such articles. 

(11) Article 16(1) of <strong>Regulation</strong> (EC) No 1935/2004 provides that materials and articles 

covered by specific measures be accompanied by a written declaration of compliance 

stating that they comply with the rules applicable to them. To strengthen the 

coordination and responsibility of the suppliers at each stage of manufacture, including 

that of the starting substances, the responsible persons should document the 

compliance with the relevant rules in a declaration of compliance which is made 

available to their customers. 

(12) Article 17(1) of <strong>Regulation</strong> (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the 

Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of 

food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down 

procedures in matters of food safety 6 requires the food business operator to verify that 

foods are compliant with the rules applicable to them. To this end and subject to the 

requirement of confidentiality, food business operators should be given access to the 

relevant information to enable them to ensure that the migration from the materials and 

articles to food complies with the specifications and restrictions laid down in food 

legislation. 

(13) Competent authorities should be able to consult compliance information at the retail 

stage for control and traceability purposes. Food business operators, notably 

restaurants, may procure final ceramic materials and articles at the retail stage and 

require compliance information to fulfil their legal obligations. Therefore it appears 

appropriate to provide the declaration of compliance also with the final materials and 

articles at the retail stage. 

(14) At each stage of manufacture, sales and retail, supporting documentation, 

substantiating the declaration of compliance, should be kept available for the 

competent authorities. Such demonstration of compliance may be based on migration 

testing or bring forward other grounds which would justify compliance. Therefore 

compliance of materials and articles in the scope of this <strong>Regulation</strong> should be assessed 

and the rules for this testing should be set out. Test results or other forms of 

justification should be regarded as valid as long as formulations and processing 

conditions remain constant as assured by a quality assurance system. 

(15) Importers may need to protect their commercial interests when importing from outside 

the Union. Therefore they may omit the names of the manufacturers of a material or 

article from the declaration of compliance. However to ensure traceability information 

6 

OJ L 31, 1.2.2002, p. 1. 

EN DRAFT 4 DRAFT EN

identifying the manufacturers outside the Union should be available to the competent 

authorities in the supporting documentation. 

(16) As migration testing is complex, costly and time consuming it should be admissible 

that compliance can be demonstrated also by ensuring by other means than migration 

testing that regulated substances are not migrating above the permitted limits set out in 

this <strong>Regulation</strong>. Such demonstration should be adequately justified in supporting 

documentation, and controlled by manufacturing practices. It should be limited to 

demonstrating that food or mouth contact surfaces are either free of restricted 

substances because they were not present in the starting or intermediate materials used 

in the manufacturing of the final articles or materials, or by the use of manufacturing 

conditions or techniques preventing their migration. The supporting documentation 

provided with starting or intermediate materials should therefore either substantiate 

that regulated substances are not present in these materials or articles, or provide 

instructions for further processing which ensure compliance. Even if testing by 

business operators is omitted on these grounds, competent authorities should not be 

prevented to carry out migration testing for control and enforcement purposes. 

(17) The updated rules on food simulants and migration testing provided by this <strong>Regulation</strong> 

will supersede those in Directive 84/500/EC. 

(18) Certain specific migration limits and migration testing rules are updated in view of 

new scientific knowledge. Enforcement authorities and industry need to adapt their 

current testing and production regime to these updated limits and rules. To allow for 

this adaptation it is necessary to provide for a transitional period of x years from the 

date of entry into force of this <strong>Regulation</strong>. 

(19) The measures provided for in this <strong>Regulation</strong> are in accordance with the opinion of the 

Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament 

nor the Council has opposed them,

ANNEX IIIa 

BASIC RULES FOR DETERMINING THE MIGRATION OF SUBSTANCES FROM 

CERAMIC ARTICLES AND MATERIALS 

1. BASIC RULES FOR DETERMINING THE MIGRATION OF SUBSTANCES 

1.1. General Considerations 

The rules in this annex can be amended by testing specifications set out in column 7 

of Annex I of this <strong>Regulation</strong> 

1.2. Test liquid (‘simulant’) 

1.3. Test conditions 

4 % (v/v) acetic acid, in a freshly prepared aqueous solution. 

(a) 

(b) 

(c) 

Carry out the test at a temperature of 22 ± 2 °C for a duration of 24 ± 0,5 hours. 

When the migration of lead is to be determined, cover the sample by an 

appropriate means of protection and expose it to the usual lighting conditions 

in a laboratory. 

When the migration of cadmium or of lead and cadmium is to be determined, 

cover the sample so as to ensure that the surface to be tested is kept in total 

darkness. 

1.4. Filling 

1.4.1. Samples which can be filled 

Fill the article with a 4 % (v/v) acetic acid solution to a level no more than 1 mm 

from the overflow point; the distance is measured from the upper rim of the sample. 

Samples with a flat or slightly sloping rim should be filled so that the distance 

between the surface of the liquid and the overflow point is no more than 6 mm 

measured along the sloping rim. 

1.4.2. Samples which cannot be filled 

The surface of the sample which is not intended to come into contact with foodstuffs 

is first covered with a suitable protective layer able to resist the action of the 4 % 

(v/v) acetic acid solution. The sample is then immersed in a recipient containing a 

known volume of acetic acid solution in such a way that the surface intended to come 

into contact with foodstuffs is completely covered by the test liquid. 

1.5. Determination of the surface area 

The surface area of the articles in category 1 is equal to the surface area of the meniscus 

formed by the free liquid surface obtained by complying with the filling requirements set out 

in section 1.4 above. 


2. METHODS OF ANALYSIS FOR DETERMINATION OF SUBSTANCES 

This text is still specific to lead and cadmium; a solution is required to make it more 

general for instance through the use of tables. 

2.1. Object and field of application 

The method allows the specific migration of lead and/or cadmium to be determined. 

2.2. 2. Principle 

The determination of the specific migration of lead and/or cadmium is carried out by an 

instrumental method of analysis that fulfils the performance criteria of point 4. 

2.3. 3. Reagents 

– All reagents must be of analytical quality, unless otherwise specified. 

– Where reference is made to water, it shall always mean distilled water or water of 

equivalent quality. 

2.3.1. 4 % (v/v) acetic acid, in aqueous solution 

Add 40 ml of glacial acetic acid to water and make up to 1 000 ml. 

2.3.2. Stock solutions 

Prepare stock solutions containing 1 000 mg/litre of lead and at least 500mg/litre of 

cadmium respectively in a 4 % acetic acid solution, as referred to in point 3.1. 

2.4. Performance criteria of the instrumental method of analysis 

2.4.1. The detection limit for lead and cadmium must be equal to or lower than: 

TBD 

2.4.2. The limit of quantification for lead and cadmium must be equal to or lower than: 

– TBD 

2.4.3. Recovery 

TBD 

2.4.4. Specificity 

The instrumental method of analysis used must be free from matrix and spectral 

interferences. 


2.5. Method 

2.5.1. Preparation of the sample 

The sample must be clean and free from grease or other matter likely to affect the 

test. Wash the sample in a solution containing a household liquid detergent at a 

temperature of approximately 40 °C. Rinse the sample first in tap-water and then in 

distilled water or water of equivalent quality. Drain and dry so as to avoid any stain. 

The surface to be tested is not to be handled after it has been cleaned. 

2.5.2. Determination of lead and/or cadmium 

– The sample thus prepared is tested under the conditions laid down in Chapter 1 

of this Annex 

– Before taking the test solution for determining lead and/or cadmium, 

homogenise the content of the sample by an appropriate method, which avoids 

any loss of solution or abrasion of the surface being tested. 

– Carry out a blank test on the reagent used for each series of determinations. 

– Carry out determinations for lead and/or cadmium under appropriate 

conditions.
