A document produced by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment for the control of manufacture of food contact paper and board. The identified risk at that point should be controlled by a specific measure (for example a specific temperature, a specific process time, a specific dosage, etc.). Equipment which automatically controls the addition of liquids or solids to the papermaking process. European list of standard grades of recovered paper and board. Companies which are commercially separate from the one operating the paper mill and which perform tasks within that paper mill. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. Commission Regulation (EC) No 2023/2006 on good manufacturing practice for materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. Good Manufacturing Practice means those aspects of quality assurance which ensure that materials and articles are consistently produced and controlled to ensure conformity with the rules applicable to them and with the quality standards appropriate to their intended use. A biological, chemical or physical agent in, or condition of, food contact materials with the potential to cause an adverse health effect. Elements of the condition of humans and premises which could influence the safety of food contact paper and board. These could include, for instance, disease, bacteria, dirt, pests, insects, etc. A reel of paper produced directly at the end of a paper machine before any slitting or sheeting operations have been performed. The affixing of identification to reels and packets of paper or board. Relating to smell, texture, appearance or taste of food and detectable by human senses. The risk at that point should be controlled by a general measure, applied to the whole process as a preventive measure. The total sum of the organised and documented arrangements made with the purpose of ensuring that materials and articles are of the quality required to ensure conformity with the rules applicable to them and the quality standards necessary for their intended use. The systematic application of measures established within the quality assurance system that ensure compliance of starting materials and intermediate and finished materials and articles with the specification determined in the quality assurance system. 2
Recovered paper Risk Risk analysis Stock preparation Paper or board, other than internal broke or scrap, which is recovered from an operation within the paper supply chain and returned to a paper mill for conversion back into new paper. A function of the probability of an adverse health effect and the severity of that effect, consequential to a hazard(s) in a food contact material. The process of defining the various threats to product safety, determining the extent of vulnerabilities and devising appropriate countermeasures. The addition of water to wood pulp and recovered paper and subsequent homogenisation and cleaning operations prior to processing on the paper machine wire. 4. QUALITY ASSURANCE 4.1 General A documented quality management system, such as ISO 9001 or equivalent, forms the underlying basis for the procedures and instructions related to the GMP Regulation and the specific requirements for food packaging materials. The mill management system should be revised and amended to ensure that quality aspects related to food packaging applications are included in an appropriate way. The requirements on paper and board for food contact packaging are governed by the demands on the final packaging and aim to ensure suitable quality for the intended use. This implies that the paper and board must be manufactured to an agreed quality standard, including the requirements in the Framework Regulation and other quasi-legislation for food contact. The existing procedures in the quality management system should be used for the areas which are not covered by this document. The starting point for implementing GMP, in a paper and board mill, is to perform a risk analysis. Control of the raw material input, process and process surroundings leads to control of the final product. See Figure 1.
