current version & Swiss Ordinance RS 817.023.21 - Annex 6 on substances for the
manufacturing of FCM inks, Exclusion list of EuPIA (European Printing Ink
Association).

When used as specified, the overall migration as well as the specific migration does not
exceed the legal limits of the plastic material as a whole (including color/inks/coatings
etc).
To the best of our knowledge, all other ingredients used in FIBC bags manufactured &
supplied by us meet the requirements of their respective FDA regulations and 21CFR
177.1520(b).
During the production of fabric for FIBC's, we use following additives which are
included in the Union list of authorized monomers and other starting substances in
Annex-I of EC Directive 10/2011 and its successive amendment EU 2020/1245 of 2
September, 2020.

HEAVY METALS:-

The raw materials used in the production of said FIBC’s do not contain heavy metals such
as cadmium, hexavalent chromium, lead, antimony, nickel, tin, arsenic and mercury, as
declared by the suppliers of the raw materials.
Neither the said heavy metals nor their compounds are intentionally added during the
production of the FIBC nor they are used, directly or indirectly, in the production process
itself.

Contd.

SPECIFIC MIGRATION OF HEAVY METALS :-

Specific migration analysis of Aluminum, Barium, Cobalt, Copper, Iron, Lithium,
Manganese, Zinc and Nickel were analyzed as per Directive 1935//2004 (EU) and
commission on regulation (EU) 10/2011 with reference to EN 13130-1:2004. These tests
were performed in the simulant of 3% acetic acid for 2 hours at 90 º C.
