Abstract
In general, product safety issues are related to food
contact materials. However, safety demands do not only
concern food packages. Other packages, e.g., for
pharmaceuticals, medical ware, toys and electronics, also
need to be safe. In Europe, the General Product Safety
Directive regulates all consumer products by stating that
"only safe products can be placed on the market". It
covers any products intended for and likely to be used by
consumers, including the products' packaging.
