Australia Food Contact Testing

Views :
Update time : 2026-06-17

Market Overview

For products sold to Australia, the market recognizes the EU 1935/2004/EC regulations and relevant US FDA regulations. This is because Australia currently has not implemented a unified regulation like the EU (EC) No. 1935/2004/EC or the US FDA to uniformly standardize and manage food contact materials.


Relevant Standards and Regulations

  • Plastics: The testing requirements of either EU No. 10/2011 or the US FDA are applicable as stated in Australia's AS 2070:1999.

  • Ceramic Ware, Glass Ware, Enameled Ware: Adapts Australia No. 289, 1991 (amendment of regulation No. 90, 1956).

  • Metal Ware: Adapts Western Australia Consolidated Regulation – Health (Food Hygiene) Regulation No. 41, 1993.
