4. Substances authorised as direct food additives, which can also be used in directfood contact coatings are listed in Annex XI. If the migration exceeds 10 µg per 6dm² then their identity will be given in the Declaration of Compliance.EXPLANATORY NOTEIn this context the dual use additive is used as a monomer thereby being consumedin the preparation of the polymer. Residual levels are typically very low. Thesupplier has the option not to declare the identity if it can be demonstrated that themigration is below 10 µg per 6 dm².5. Authorised monomers and starting substances may be chemically reacted andthe resulting product (resin, polymer or pre-polymer) may be used in coatings fordirect food contact.EXPLANATORY NOTEGeneric descriptions of how these monomers and starting substances could be usedto generate materials incorporated into coatings for direct food contact are given inAnnex IV.Article 5Additives1. The present article does not apply to colourants and solvents.2. Those additives listed in Annex III may be used for the manufacture of coatingsfor direct food contact subject to the restrictions set out therein.3. The list in Annex III is sub-divided into Lists C and DList C: list of additives assessed:3.1 Substances evaluated by SCF/EFSA, classified in list SCF 0-4 and used incompliance with specific migration limits or other restrictions, if any3.2 Additives approved by member states based or by any competent authoritiesupon an evaluation of a toxicological dossier which meets the presentSCF/EFSA criteria.12Europäische Vereinigung der Lack-, Druckfarben- und KünstlerfarbenindustrieEuropean Council of Paint, Printing Inks and Artists' Colours IndustryAvenue E.
