MOCA Serbatoi — 06

Your tanks are a productive asset. If the original MOCA documentation has been lost, we can rebuild the technical path needed to prove food-contact suitability. You only need to call us.

The problem

Lost or never-available MOCA documentation

  • Many tanks installed years ago no longer have their original documentation.
  • In many companies documentation was lost after changes of ownership, expansions or reorganisations.
  • During audits and inspections, documentary evidence of food-contact material compliance is required.
  • Missing documentation can lead to disputes and non-conformities.
Replacing a perfectly functional tank just because the original documentation is missing is not a sustainable solution.

Through MOCA assessment it is possible to valorise the existing plant and prove its food-contact suitability.

Your historic plant is a precious asset, but it needs the correct food-hygiene documentation. We take care of everything.
