(Main)Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Requirements for anodised products for use in contact with foodstuff
General Information
- Abstract
This document specifies requirements for coloured or uncoloured anodic oxidation coatings on wrought and cast products in aluminium and aluminium alloys for use in contact with food.
These requirements cover the chemical composition of the bath, the sealing and the properties of the obtained anodic oxidation coatings. They do not cover dyestuffs and pigments but do cover the metallic deposits produced by electrolytic colouring.

Overview
kSIST FprEN 14392:2026 is a draft European standard for aluminium and aluminium alloys used in contact with foodstuff. It specifies requirements for coloured or uncoloured anodised products made from wrought and cast aluminium products. The document is designed to support safe, consistent production of anodic oxidation coatings for food-related applications.
This standard is especially relevant for manufacturers, suppliers, and quality teams that need to demonstrate compliance for food contact materials. It focuses on the anodising process, the sealing treatment, and the resulting coating properties. It also addresses traceability and inspection documentation through a quality assurance framework.
As a draft standard, prEN 14392:2026 is intended for review and may change before final adoption. It will supersede EN 14392:2007 once approved.
Key Topics
The scope of this standard covers the practical requirements for anodised aluminium products intended for contact with food. Key topics include:
- Chemical composition of the aluminium or aluminium alloy
- Chemical composition of the anodization bath
- Sealing of anodic oxidation coatings
- Quality assurance and conformity assessment
- Inspection certificates and traceability
The standard identifies acceptable anodization bath media based on diluted aqueous solutions of selected acids, and it defines when sealing is required. It also notes that the document does not cover dyestuffs and pigments, while still covering metallic deposits produced by electrolytic colouring.
For users working in compliance, the standard links product requirements with supporting references such as EN 601, EN 602, EN 10204, and EN 12258-1. It also references routine control methods and calibration-related methods for sealing quality assessment.
Applications
This standard is important for industries that produce or supply anodised aluminium food contact products, including:
- Food packaging components
- Kitchenware and cookware
- Processing and handling equipment
- Decorative or functional aluminium surfaces used in food environments
It provides practical guidance for organizations that need to ensure anodised finishes are suitable for food contact while maintaining product quality and process consistency. The standard is also useful for procurement teams and inspectors who rely on inspection certificates and documented conformity.
Because the document emphasizes traceability and quality assurance, it supports manufacturers in building reliable production controls and meeting customer and regulatory expectations for aluminium products in contact with food.
