Geneva (June 24, 2025) – SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published SafeGuardS 082.25, drawing attention to a regulatory update issued by Mercosur, the Southern Common Market, concerning food contact materials made from cellulosic sources.

In April 2025, Mercosur announced the approval of GMC Resolution No. 02/25, amending GMC Resolution No. 40/15, which sets out the technical regulation for food contact cellulosic materials. The update introduces updated language regarding the presence of diisopropylnaphthalene (DIPN) in recycled fiber products.

The amendment revises the language regarding the requirement for diisopropylnaphthalene (DIPN) to: ‘The content of DIPN in the finished product produced from recycled fibers should be as low as technically feasible’ (Annex, Part II, Point 1.2(f)).

This modification reinforces the principle of minimization, reflecting a growing regional emphasis on safety and precaution in recycled food contact materials.

The updated resolution must now be transposed into national legislation by Mercosur member states (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay). Bolivia, which became a full member of Mercosur in July 2024, has been granted a four-year transition period to align its national laws with the bloc’s regulations.

SGS issues SafeGuardS to help stakeholders stay informed of key regulatory developments. SafeGuardS 082.25 outlines the recent amendment to Mercosur’s regulation on food contact cellulosic materials, including updated language on diisopropylnaphthalene (DIPN) content and its implications for manufacturers using recycled fibers.

Stakeholders are encouraged to review the full SafeGuardS 082.25 for further details.

BLACKBURN, VIC – 18 June 2025  – A growing number of businesses across Melbourne’s eastern suburbs are upgrading their security systems with proximity and smart keys, as workplace access control becomes a top priority in 2025. Rapid Locksmiths, a trusted locksmith in Blackburn, has seen a sharp increase in demand from commercial property owners seeking smarter, more flexible alternatives to traditional locking systems.

Led by owner Daniel Lemm, Rapid Locksmiths is helping business clients transition to digital security through keyless entry systems that simplify staff access, reduce lost-key incidents, and improve operational efficiency.

“We’ve noticed a major shift among Melbourne businesses looking for reliable, user-friendly access control,” said Lemm. “Our proximity and smart key solutions give commercial properties the power to manage who enters their premises—without rekeying locks or handing out physical keys to every employee.”

Using advanced proximity technology and encrypted smart key fobs, these systems allow property managers and business owners to issue, update, and revoke access instantly. This makes them ideal for offices, warehouses, retail spaces, and other high-traffic sites where secure, controlled access is essential. Unlike traditional keys, smart access credentials can be logged and monitored, offering better visibility and accountability.

This local trend aligns with broader commercial and residential property security changes across Australia, where smart lock adoption is expected to grow in the next three years.

Rapid Locksmiths, established in Blackburn North, has been servicing residential and commercial clients across the eastern suburbs of Melbourne for over 20 years now. With a reputation for prompt service, expert installations, and up-to-date security solutions, the company is at the forefront of modern lock technology in Victoria.
