Описание (английский):

This document specifies the maximum mass content of alloying elements and impurities in aluminium and aluminium alloy cast materials and articles designed to be in contact with foodstuff. It contains provisions for the demonstration of conformity of products with the present document. NOTE Materials include ingots and liquid metal. Articles are finished goods.

Abstract

Overview

Key Topics

Material Scope: Applies to cast aluminium and aluminium alloys in ingot, liquid, or final article forms, specifically those intended for food contact applications.
Element Limits: Defines maximum permissible concentrations for alloying elements (e.g., silicon, bismuth, iron, copper, magnesium) and impurities to ensure safe use in food contact.
Conformity Demonstration: Requires a quality assurance protocol, including product traceability, raw material qualification, and the issuance of inspection certificates to verify compliance.
Application of Standards: Refers to EN 1706 for chemical and mechanical properties, EN 10204 for inspection documentation, and EN 12258-1 for terminology.
Regulatory References: Aligns with key European legislative requirements such as Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 on food contact materials, and Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste.
Toxicological Considerations: Elemental restrictions are based on toxicological data to limit potential migration into foodstuffs and ensure consumer safety.
Periodic Certification: Certificates of conformity must be kept current, with a maximum interval of twelve months between issuances.

Applications

EN 601:2026 plays a vital role in industries where aluminium castings come into contact with food, including:

Food Packaging: Covers aluminium trays, containers, and closures used in food packaging, ensuring materials will not contaminate food products.
Cookware and Utensils: Guides manufacturers of pots, pans, and kitchen utensils in selecting aluminium alloys that comply with food safety requirements.
Food Processing Equipment: Ensures safe use of aluminium cast parts in machinery and equipment that handle food during manufacturing or preparation.
Beverage Containers: Provides assurances for cast aluminium components in beverage packaging or dispensing systems.
Custom Aluminium Components: Applicable for producers of bespoke aluminium parts for the food industry, including those required by supermarkets, food service, or catering businesses.

By adhering to EN 601:2026, manufacturers can guarantee their aluminium castings are suitable and compliant for use in contact with food, reducing liability and supporting market access throughout Europe.
