Is Unreinforced PVC hose for food substances CRISTALLO safe for transferring alcoholic beverages up to 20% and compliant with EU food regulations (1935/2004, 10/2011, 2023/2006)?

Yes. Unreinforced PVC hose for food substances CRISTALLO is described and certified for nonâpressurized (or very lowâpressure) transfer of alcoholic beverages up to 20% ABV and is declared compliant with relevant EU foodâcontact legislation: Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 (tested with simulants A, B and C), and Regulation (EU) No 2023/2006 on GMP. Use limits and precautions: designed for low pressures (recommended working pressure given with a 5:1 safety factor) and operating temperatures â5Â°C to +60Â°C; suitability for a specific pressure/installation should be confirmed by testing under actual working conditions. Not recommended for milk/dairy products, oils or fatty foods.

Can Unreinforced PVC hose for food substances CRISTALLO be used for food contact at temperatures up to 60Â°C and still meet EU food safety standards?

Yes. Unreinforced PVC hose for food substances CRISTALLO can be used for food contact at temperatures up to 60Â°C and still meet EU food safety standards, provided intended liquids are within its listed scope (water, beer, wine, alcohols â¤20%, juices, beverages; not recommended for milk/dairy, oils/fatty foods). The product is declared compliant with EU regulations 1935/2004, 10/2011 (simulants A, B, C) and 2023/2006 (GMP). Note: working pressure and actual use should be validated by testing under real conditions; follow manufacturer guidance and avoid prohibited food types.

Can Unreinforced PVC hose for food substances CRISTALLO be used with dairy or fatty foods like milk and oils?

Unreinforced PVC hose for food substances CRISTALLO should not be used with milk, dairy products, oils, or fatty food substances. Although it is compliant with European food-contact regulations (1935/2004/EC, 10/2011/EU for simulants A, B, C, and 2023/2006/EC GMP) and suitable for water, beer, wine, lowâalcohol beverages (â¤20%), juices and other nonâfatty food liquids, the product description explicitly states it is not recommended for milk, dairy or oily/fatty foods. Use for specific pressures and conditions requires testing under working conditions.

Unreinforced and highly flexible transparent PVC hose intended for non-pressurized (or very low-pressure) transfer of water, beer, wine, alcohols with a concentration of up to 20%, juices, beverages, and other food liquids. Not recommended for milk and dairy products, as well as oils and fatty food substances. Also used for liquids in general industrial applications, for light chemicals (e.g., diluted acids and bases), and as a protective cover for pipes, conduits, hoses, etc. For the hose, the stated pressure value is an indicative value of the recommended working pressure, assumed for a typical PVC hose, with a safety factor of 5:1. The use of the hose for a specific working pressure should be preceded by testing under working conditions. Standards and requirements: Food industry, contact with food: compliant with European requirements 1935/2004/EC and 10/2011/EU (simulant fluids A, B, and C), 2023/2006/EC (GMP). Hose material: transparent PVC. Working pressure: low, up to several bar, depending on temperature. Operating temperature: from -5°C to +60°C.
