Upon request, bock machining gmbh supports its customers by providing available technical information for the preparation of FORM-O. This document is commonly used within the food supply chain to collect and communicate information on materials and articles intended for food contact (MOCA).
Depending on the material used and the specific application, we provide the available technical documentation and the corresponding declarationsof compliance. In doing so, we observe the applicable regulatory requirements, maintain the confidentiality of technical and commercial information, and comply with existing agreements with our suppliers.
The objective is to facilitate the exchange of information required for compliance assessment throughout the supply chain. However, the final evaluation of a material's suitability for its intended use remains the responsibility of the user and the relevant functions within their organization.
Support for U.S. Exports and UL Certifications
Our components are ideally suited for international markets. Throughout the supply chain, we provide the required documentation for MOCA compliance (Europe) as well as compliance with FDA regulations (United States).
- Protection of Know-How and Confidentiality: We understand the importance of protecting industrial and trade secrets. If the completion of Form O or the disclosure of confidential technical information is required as part of the certification of your machine, we apply a process that ensures the confidentiality of such information.
- Direct Submission to UL Solutions or Other Certification Bodies: Where possible and subject to prior coordination with all parties involved, we coordinate the provision of technical documentation within our scope of responsibility. If required, we work with our suppliers to determine the most appropriate method of information sharing, taking into account confidentiality requirements, the specifications of the respective certification body, and the willingness of all parties involved to cooperate.
In this way, we provide our customers with reliable support throughout the certification process while helping to protect the know-how and confidential information of all parties involved.
