Material content declaration

Containers of insecticides and other economic poisons must bear labels showing the name or brand of the article, the net contents, the name and address of the manufacturer or distributor, an ingredient declaration, an appropriate warning or caution statement, including the word POISON (in red), the skull and crossbones, and an antidote statement on highly toxic materials. Adequate directions for use must accompany each economic poison. Devices subject to the act are not required to bear labels but if they... 

The bioavailability of silibinin from the extract is low and seems to depend on several factors such as (i) the content of accompanying substances with a solubilizing character such as other flavonoids, phenol derivatives, aminoacids, proteins, tocopherol, fat, cholesterol, and others found in the extract and (ii) the concentration of the extract itself (132,133). The systemic bioavailability can be enhanced by adding solubilizing substances to the extract (11,134). The bioavailability of silibinin can also be enhanced by the complexation with phosphatidylcholine or p-cyclodextrin, and possibly by the choice of the capsule material (135-137). The variations in content, dissolution, and (oral) bioavailability of silibinin between different commercially available silymarin products—despite the same declaration of content—are significant (138). 

The target PA composition should declare the materials by which the mixture is composed, the grading, the binder content and whether reclaimed asphalt or other additives are used. With respect to the use of reclaimed asphalt, it should not exceed, unless agreed upon, 10% by mass of total mixture if PA is for surface course and 20% by mass of total mixture if PA is for any other course. 

The target composition should declare and document the materials, from which the mixture is composed, namely, the grading, the bitumen content and whether reclaimed asphalt or other additives are used. 

The determination of the water content for optimal dry density, required to be declared by the supplier, is carried out in the laboratory by compacting the unbound material at different water contents. Compaction of the unbound material can be carried out using proctor compaction in accordance with CEN EN 13286-2 (2012), ASTM D 1557 (2012) or AASHTO T 180 (2010) vibrocompression with controlled parameters in accordance with CEN EN 13286-3 (2003) vibrating hammer in accordance with CEN EN 13286-4 (2003) or vibrating table in accordance with CEN EN 13286-5 (2003). 

Usually the declared content of the active substance in a final product is based on the chemically pure substance. The chemically pure substance is the substance that is described by the header of the Pharmacopoeia monograph for the specified raw material. The molecular formula and the molecular weight are given. For substances with a varying amount of water this refers to the dried substance. For substances with a sharply defined amount of water of crystallisation the compound including the water of crystallisation is considered the chemically pure substance, provided that this is clear from the declaratimi. 

The amount of active substance should be declared as pure substance . This means the content that would be determined in a chemical assay. For example, in the preparation a calculated excess of active substance is processed, because the material may contain water of hydration. This excess should not appear on the label (i.e. the label claim), as the assay refers to the active substance without water. 

The purity and dosage requirements of most of the nutraceuticals are not clear. They do not have the scientific basis of dose recommendation [52]. Cost is another main factor in the production of nutraceuticals. The raw materials are often very costly. Most commercially available nutraceuticals contain a mixture of compounds. Often, the non-declared and unhealthy ingredients that are non-herbal in nature and origin are present (e.g., high content of saturated fat in tortilla chips). Thus, an unhealthy food product can be marketed with the implication of a health benefit. Interferences between compounds during uptake are also not known [52, 79]. 

Determinacy The Friendly Relations Declaration s principle on self-determination lacks determinacy. There must literally be tons of material on the meaning and the content of the right to self-determination as proposed by the Friendly Relations Declaration. The principle can be and has been interpreted in many different ways and there is no final conclusion on the content. The main reason for the provision s... 

This technical specification (CEN/TS) provides requirements for the declaration, including statements and labels, of the biobased carbon content of polymers, plastic materials, semi-finished plastic products, and finished plastic products, including composites. 

In the event of perfume and aromatic compositions and their raw materials, they have to be referred to by the word perfume or aroma. However, the presence of aromatic substances, for which there is a special mention according to Annex III of the EU Cosmetics Directive, must be declared in the labelling list irrespective of their function in the product. This is the case of the 26 potentially allergenic fragrance compounds, which according to the above mentioned annex must be indicated when their content in the finished product is higher than 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products.
