العربيةCertifications & Product Documents
Request the specification and supporting documents for the packaging you intend to order. The item, material, manufacturing site and intended use determine which records are relevant. Include destination-market requirements in the inquiry so the document package can be matched to the order.
Documents to review before ordering
| Document area | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Product specification | Item code, current drawing, dimensions, material and coating, tolerances, units per pack and carton data. |
| Food contact | Product or material identity, applicable regulatory basis, test report, food types, contact time and temperature, and destination market. |
| Compostability | Certificate holder, exact item or material, scheme, number, validity and composting environment. Review lids, coatings and accessories separately. |
| Responsible fiber sourcing | Certificate or license holder, current status, product scope and the claim applicable to the supplied order. |
| Factory or management system | Legal entity, production site, audit or certificate scope, issuing body and validity. |
| Chemical or environmental claims | Exact claim, product formulation, test method, laboratory, report date and measured scope. |
FSC: traceable forest-based materials
For an FSC sourcing requirement, check the certificate holder, current status and covered product groups in the official database. The order documentation should show the applicable sourcing claim. Food-contact and compostability evidence are reviewed separately.
Compostability: check the product and environment
Compostability documents identify a defined product or material and a treatment environment. Check the exact item in the BPI catalog where applicable. TÜV AUSTRIA separates industrial and home composting schemes; use the scheme shown on the product certificate when planning disposal instructions.
Food-contact evidence follows intended use
Food-contact documentation needs to match the food and exposure conditions. Tell us whether the pack will contact hot, chilled, oily or acidic food, and for how long. Include microwave or freezer use when relevant. Review the regulatory basis and supporting test scope for the selected construction, including any coating or lining.
Request the document package for your item
Send the product list and the records required by your purchasing team. Useful details include certificate or report number, holder, issuer, product scope, test conditions and validity. Keep those records with the final specification and quotation for the supplied item.
