The EC /1935/004 framework regulation           promulgated by the European Union  is currently the dominant regulation on various food contact materials, and EU member states have the right to supervise the framework regulation. However, the current specific measures for 17 kinds of materials, due to the lack of applicable material guidelines in the EU, according to Article 6 of EC/1935/2004, when specific measures for various materials and products have not been formulated, it is allowed to maintain and adopt various materials. relevant regulations of the member states. Therefore, when exporting products to the EU, not only EC/1935/2004, but also the relevant regulations of the specific exporting country should be considered. Such as Germany, France, etc., in addition to strictly following the EU 1935/2004 Directive, there are also local food-grade regulations that must be followed, such as: German LFGB (LMBG), French FrenchDGCCRF2004-64, British Commonwealth UK SI 898:2005 and Italian Gazette ( Gazzetta Ufficiale GU) Law No.283 of 30/04/1962 and Local Decree 21/03/1973 (DM21/03/73) etc.

      In September 2005, the new German Food and Dietary Goods Act LFGB replaced the Food and Commodities LMBG. It is also known as the "Food, Tobacco Products, Cosmetics and Other Supplies Management Law", which is an important basic legal document in German food hygiene management, and is the guideline and core of other special food hygiene laws and regulations. If the products that come into contact with German food pass the test , they can be certified by the LFGB test report issued by the authorized agency as "products that do not contain chemical toxic substances" and can be sold in the German market.
