UMETASS Plastic Pails Achieve Full Pass in Comprehensive EU Compliance Testing

UMETASS, a high-tech manufacturer specializing in the R&D and production of plastic packaging containers, announced that its plastic pail product line has successfully passed a comprehensive suite of EU compliance tests carried out by independent, ISO/IEC 17025–accredited laboratories.

The testing program covered key European regulations governing chemical safety and food-contact materials, including: REACH Regulation 1907/2006, (EU) No. 2017/752, (EU) No. 2024/3190, (EU) No. 2020/1245, (EU) No. 10/2011, and (EC) No. 1935/2004. Across all scopes evaluated, UMETASS plastic pails met the applicable requirements.

What Was Verified

· Substance safety under REACH (1907/2006): Screening and assessment confirmed compliance with relevant restrictions and requirements, including checks against the latest lists of substances of concern as applicable to our materials and uses.

· Food-contact performance under the EU plastics framework: Testing aligned with (EC) No. 1935/2004 and the plastics measure (EU) No. 10/2011 (as amended by (EU) No. 2017/752, (EU) No. 2020/1245, (EU) No. 2024/3190) verified that the pail materials satisfied applicable overall and specific migration criteria for their intended use conditions.

· Good documentation practice: UMETASS maintains material traceability and lot-level records to support Declarations of Compliance (DoC) for customers’ audits and regulatory files.

Why It Matters

Brand owners and fillers require packaging that is not only durable and cost-effective but also trusted for regulatory compliance across global markets. With these results, UMETASS customers gain:

· Regulatory confidence: Products tested to major EU benchmarks for chemical and food-contact safety.

· Faster market access: Readily available test reports and DoC help streamline qualification and vendor approval.

· Risk reduction: Consistent materials management and third-party verification reduce uncertainty across diverse applications.

Documentation & Support

Full laboratory test reports and Declarations of Compliance are available on request. Because compliance always depends on actual end-use conditions (e.g., contents, temperature, contact time, and storage), our technical team can advise on use-specific validations and arrange customer-specific testing where needed.
