SGS Summarizes Updated Turkish Food Contact Plastics Regulation

The nation’s Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry revised the Food Codex Regulation on food contact plastics with a notification published under number 32538 on May 6, 2024. This implements changes previously made to the European Union’s Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 on food contact plastics.

The changes relate to the following EU regulations that amend Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011:
- Regulation (EU) 2020/1245 (amendment 15)
- Regulation (EU) 2023/1442 (amendment 16)
- Regulation (EU) 2023/1627 (amendment 17)

SGS experts publish SafeGuardS to keep stakeholders informed about regulatory and market changes that could impact their ability to trade. SafeGuardS 079.24 summarizes these updates with details of the changes introduced by the EU regulations and contains information on the enforcement date and provisions for food contact plastics that do not comply with the amendment, but which were placed onto the market prior to the enforcenment date of January 1, 2026.

Stakeholders should review SGS’s original SafeGuardS 079.24 for more details.

Long Distance Towing Is On Hand 7 Days A Week for Fast and Convenient Vehicle Shipping

With over 20 years of experience, Long Distance Towing are leaders in the world of car and motorcycle shipping - helping their customers get their vehicles from A to B whether there’s a distance of 75 or 300 miles in between those spaces. With a focus on both affordability and safety, their services are available to customers up and down the country seven days a week.

Long Distance Towing Services.

 

Long Distance Towing offers nationwide car and motorcycle shipping from any city in the country. Whether their customers are moving to a new state or have broken down on a road trip hundreds of miles from home, they're on hand to ensure that their vehicle is transported safely to its final destination. Their highly-rated services include:

  • Classic Car Shipping
  • Motorcycle Towing/Shipping
  • Enclosed Shipping
  • BMW Car Shipping
  • Ferrari Car Shipping
  • Lamborghini Car Shipping
  • Tesla Car Shipping
  • Motorhome Shipping/Towing

Open seven days a week, with a 24-hour phone line, it's no surprise that they receive consistently positive feedback from motorists, who commend their fast and efficient services.

The Benefits of Long Distance Towing Services.

There are many benefits associated with long-distance towing services. For example, for cross-state moves, having vehicles towed from one property to another saves time, energy and money.

Expert car haulers are able to determine the most convenient way to transport a car from A to B so that it is at their customer's door in record time. By relying on their knowledge of the roads and convenient routes within each state, they can all but eliminate delays when it comes to vehicle delivery.

This means that the customer does not have to worry about endless hours stuck in traffic or behind the wheel, which means they can focus on other essential moving tasks, such as packing up their belongings. Time is a precious asset, and with Long Distance Towing, it's something that customers no longer have to waste.

Arranging for cars and motorcycles to be towed long distances is also often far cheaper than transporting the vehicle independently. After all, while it may not originally seem that way, vehicle owners will then have to pay for everything from gas and petrol to accommodation and food and drink when on the road. This can quickly get expensive.

Another major benefit associated with relying on this kind of service to transport vehicles is the fact that the vehicle will arrive at its new destination in the same condition it left in. No scratches, blemishes or damage, which cannot always be guaranteed when transporting a vehicle independently.

Why do Clients Choose Long Distance Towing?

 

There are many different reasons why clients across the country choose to rely on Long Distance Towing when it comes to safely and securely transporting their vehicles from one state to another!

However, this likely comes down to the quality of the services they offer to each individual customer. For example, they offer:

  • Door-to-door delivery, seven days a week
  • Safety and security during the transportation process
  • Clear and transparent pricing.

In addition to this, Long Distance Towing has a 5-star rating on Transport Reviews, one of the Nation’s leading review platforms for services of this kind. In addition to this, Long Distance Towing has countless 5-star reviews on Google, which is the preferred reviewing platform of 84% of customers throughout the US.

Door to Door Delivery, Seven Days A Week.

 

Unlike other towing companies, Long Distance Towing are open seven days a week. This makes it incredibly easy for customers to arrange for their vehicle, car or motorcycle to be towed at a time that is convenient for them. After all, when moving long distances, effective time-management is key, and not every person is able to be able to afford to take time off to move their belongings into their new home. By ensuring that they are readily available 7 days a week, they can work around each customer's schedule.

Instead of requiring customers to drop their vehicles or motorcycles off at a local depot or collect them from a similar space, Long Distance Towing offers door-to-door delivery services. This brings a new level of convenience to vehicle towing and transportation, which also allows customers to meet the person transporting their vehicle face-to-face.

Safety and Security During The Transportation Process.

 

Cars and motorcycles are among some of the more expensive purchases we make during our lifetime, and many invest a considerable amount of money to keep them in pristine condition. For this reason, many may feel reluctant to hand over their keys to a person they don’t know. However, safety and security are part of the package when working with Long Distance Towing.

For example, their fleet of state-of-the-art nine-car haulers are manned by an expert team of over 10,000 trusted drivers. This gives vehicle owners much greater peace of mind, as they know that their vehicle will be taken care of throughout the journey and that it will arrive safely at its final destination.

While they are already considered to be among the most reliable long-distance towing companies in the country, full insurance coverage is provided for all vehicles towed by the company, giving customers even greater peace of mind.

Working with Long Distance Towing is preferential to other shipping companies, which may require motorists to leave their cars unattended at shipping yards or ports. After all, anything can happen when vehicles are left unsupervised, and there’s very little the motorists can do to prevent this once they’ve arranged for their vehicles to be towed or transported. With Long Distance Towing, vehicle owners can arrange for their car or motorcycle to be picked up from and delivered to their door for maximum safety and efficiency.

This kind of service also allows vehicle owners to meet the person who is responsible for transporting their car. This hand-in-hand interaction is shown to establish a baseline of trust between the customer and their hauler, as they know who is taking care of their vehicle on their behalf. In addition to this, customers can contact the 24-hour helpline for updates when necessary.

Clear and transparent pricing.

Long Distance Towing also pride themselves on clear and transparent pricing. Unlike other companies operating within the industries, who are not upfront about the hidden fees associated with their services, the amount the customer will be expected to pay will always match the initial quote. This makes it easier for customers to stick within a specific budget when transporting their vehicle from one state to another.

In order to receive their free, no-commitment quote, customers must simply reach out to the team, who will provide them with a quick consultation. They will then be able to provide them with a quote for their services, taking into account a variety of factors such as the type/size of the vehicle, the distance travelled, and the transportation time frame.

Given that the costs of both moving and gas/fuel are increasing year on year (often by unfathomable amounts), the services provided by Long Distance Towing are undoubtedly the most cost-effective way to transport vehicles of all sizes. Given that many of those who are moving are doing so on a budget, this can be a real life-saver. As such, Long Distance Towing are a great choice for those who are moving on a budget or who have found themselves in a difficult situation.

The Future Of Long Distance Towing.

There’s a reason why Long Distance Towing remains in operation two decades after they first hit the open roads. With a commitment to excellent customer service, a well-maintained fleet of actual vehicle haulers, and a growing network of reliable, expert drivers - they have proven time and time again that they are committed to going above and beyond for their clients. This is something that they invest heavily within, so that they are able to expand and build upon their already stellar list of services. This is perhaps why they have been able to cement themselves as one of the leading towing companies in the US.

As they are open seven days a week, they have also made it easier than ever for customers to get organized when moving home or transporting vehicles across long distances. This, coupled with their 5-star ratings across numerous review platforms, means that they undoubtedly represent the future of Long Distance Towing. After all, doing so ensures that they are able to tick all of a potential customer’s boxes - from fast and efficient shipping to cost-effective pricing.

SGS Summarizes German Alignment of Formaldehyde Emission Requirements with the EU

 SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published an overview of Germany’s repeal of its national law on formaldehyde emissions from wood-based panels and other products.

 

In February 2024, Germany amended its Chemical Prohibition Ordinance (ChemVerbotsV) and repealed the requirements for formaldehyde emissions from:
- Wood-based panels
- Furniture containing wood-based panels
- Other products falling under Entry 1 of Appendix 1 to Section 3 of this piece of national legislation

 

This follows the issuing of Regulation (EU) 2023/1464 to regulate formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing substances in articles by the European Union (EU) in July 2023. Regulation (EU) 2023/1464 must be adopted by all member states, with implementation in phases, starting August 7, 2026. The repeal therefore aligns Germany’s requirements with the rest of the EU.

 

Entry 1 of Appendix 1 to Section 3 of the Chemicals Prohibition Ordinance will be repealed on August 7, 2026 – the same day the EU law on formaldehyde emissions becomes applicable.

 

Stakeholder should review SGS’s original SafeGuardS 075.24 for more details.
