Material-selection questions

Which documents are needed for lubricants used on packaging equipment?

Start with the current technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact product. Document the lubrication point, cleaning and possible contact with packaging or food. Any required registration or additional evidence must be confirmed for that product and intended use; a general food-machinery lubricant label is not sufficient.
