SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published SafeGuardS 073.24 to provide stakeholders with an overview of Ukraine’s new requirements governing market access for certain types of plastic kitchenware.

Issued on April 23, 2024, Order No. 460 of March 18, 2024, (Order No. 460/2024) establishes special requirements and detailed rules for food contact plastic kitchenware made from:
• Polyamide
• Melamine

It follows the European Union’s Commission Regulation (EU) No. 283/2011, which set requirements for food contact polyamide and melamine plastic kitchenware originating in or consigned from China and Hong Kong.

Order No. 460/2024 contains special migration requirements:
• Polyamide – no more than 0.01 mg/kg primary aromatic amines
• Melamine – no more than 15.0 mg/kg formaldehyde

SGS experts publish SafeGuardS to keep stakeholders informed about regulatory and market changes that could impact their business. SafeGuardS 073.24 summarizes Order No. 460/2024 and includes details on permits and instructions for economic operators/representatives.

Stakeholders are advised to review SGS’s original SafeGuardS 073.24 for more information.

Order No. 460/2024 will apply from November 19, 2025 – the same day as Law No. 2718-IX of November 2, 2022, on food contact materials and articles.
