Food-contact product
Material: Ceramic
Type of ceramic vessel: Flat

Depends on: whether the product touches food, materials, ceramic vessel type

In force since 17 Oct 1989

Applies to products placed on the market on or after 17 Oct 1989

Date derived: Article 5 prohibits placing on the market of non-complying ceramic articles five years after notification, and footnote 5 states the Directive was notified to the Member States on 17 October 1984, so 1989-10-17. Computation: notified 17 October 1984 (footnote 5) + five years (Art. 5(1)) = 17 October 1989. The vessel type decides the category (Directive categories: flat = category 1, deep = category 2, cooking or large storage = category 3); the same scope applies to all three category rules.

“—Category 1: Articles which cannot be filled and articles which can be filled, the internal depth of which, measured from the lowest point to the horizontal plane passing through the upper rim, does not exceed 25 mm 0,8 mg/dm2 0,07 mg/dm2”
