Active Surfaces® have obtained two important certifications in the “food contact” sector.

The certifications were issued by an accredited BELAC laboratory, the EU certification institute specialised in testing materials used in the food sector. The results confirm that Active Surfaces® materials can be used in direct contact with food in full safety, whatever the type and formulation of the foods they come into contact with.

According to the studies carried out, Active Surfaces® conform to the European Union directives on contact with foodstuffs, demonstrating that they can be a perfect ally also in any setting where foods are present.

Moreover, the research underlines excellent results in relation to the possibility to use Active Surfaces® in highly professional and industrial sectors where food is processed and which demand the highest standards of hygiene and safety.

These two certificates are yet another demonstration of how Active Surfaces®, renowned for their antibacterial and antiviral, anti-pollution, anti-odour and self-cleaning properties, go beyond conventional uses in architecture, design and furnishing. Indeed, they represent exemplary hygienic and safe surfaces where food can be prepared not only at home but also in professional and industrial sectors, making their use possible even for ceramic kitchen and table tops.
