Updated statement on the use of BPA in 19ltr PolyCarbonate (PC) Bottles
August 2017: The Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety published the modified Draft Measure on the use of bisphenol A in varnishes and coatings intended to come into contact with food and amending Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 as regards the use of that substance in plastic food contact materials.
October 2017: In their meeting on the 25th of September 2017 the European Commission, supported by a qualified majority, approved the new harmonized Regulation which is to be implemented throughout the European Union.
As a result:
- The use of BPA as a monomer in the production of plastic materials and articles is authorized by the (EU) No 10/2011, with the SML of 0,05 mg/kg.
The experts group of FDE and Plastics Europe welcomed this positive voting, being a science-based step to resolve the distortion on European markets while maintaining a high level of consumer protection.
Based on this conclusion the SWCA declares that according to the terms and conditions set in their Members Technical Code, their Code of Conduct, as well as regulations implemented within their Hygiene Awareness Program the certified SWCA -members are audited and mandated on the implementation of the proper health and safety protocols for their used products and services.
Conclusion:
SWCA accredited members (bottlers and distributors) supply water in containers (19ltr PC bottles) approved and safe for food and drink consumption!
