Regulatory Compliance

Maintaining food safety requires operating within a complex global framework of laws, standards, and certifications.

This hub is dedicated to helping you understand and comply with regulatory demands. We break down the hierarchy of key food safety standards, like BRCGS, FSSC 22000, and SQF, in addition to the requirements of local legislation, e.g., FDA or EFSA mandates.

Explore content focused on implementing a food safety system based on HACCP principles and Pre-Requisite Programs (PRPs) to help ensure your operational practices, equipment, and documentation meet the detailed requirements of local legislation, external audits, and business-to-business standards.

Vikan Declarations of Compliance

Unlike many cleaning tool suppliers, Vikan produces a Declaration of Compliance (DoC) for every single Hygiene product you use. Based on a migration analysis of the plastic used to produce the tool, our DoCs meet all legal requirements and are always up to date. Each DoC covers food contact types and recommended usage times and temperatures.

This makes a Vikan DoC your – and the auditor’s – guarantee that your cleaning tools are free of materials that can contaminate the food you produce with toxic substances.
