Quality and paperwork

Moulds you can put in front of an auditor.

Every mould is made in PFAS-free platinum-cure food-grade silicone, supplied under our BRCGS Grade AA certification, and sent with the paperwork that says what it is made of.

Techcraft Industries Culinary Ltd is certificated to the BRCGS Global Standard for Agents and Brokers, Issue 3, with a Grade AA and no exclusions. It's the standard your own auditor will recognise, and it covers how we source, import, develop and supply your moulds. See the certificate details.

Why it matters

A mould is food-contact equipment.

It touches your product every day, so it belongs in your food-safety plan. We make that easy: clear material information, sensible checks and records kept on file.

What comes with every mould

Four documents, as standard.

01

Material declaration

A supplier declaration for the food-contact silicone grade used in your mould.

02

Grade record

The grade recorded against your order, so a reorder uses the same material.

03

Cavity check record

For portion-critical work, a record of cavity volume checks at manufacture.

04

Cleandown recommendation

Written guidance on the cleaning regime the mould is designed for.

How we check

Six checks before a mould leaves us.

01

Drawing sign-off

You approve the drawing before we make anything.

02

Proof cavity

For new designs, one cavity tested with your own recipe.

03

Cavity finish

Every cavity inspected for marks that would show on the food.

04

Volume check

Portion-critical cavities checked against their target.

05

Grade traceability

The silicone batch recorded against your order.

06

Fit check

Footprint checked against the shelf or plate size you gave us.

Straight talk

We're BRCGS certificated, Agents and Brokers, Grade AA.

We're BRCGS certificated to the Agents and Brokers standard with a Grade AA, and our moulds are documented to the standard a BRCGS-audited kitchen or factory expects. If your approval process needs specific documents, tell us at enquiry stage and we'll send them. See our certificate details.

Food-contact material selection

PFAS-free platinum-cure

Why we specify it as standard.

PFAS-free

We specify PFAS-free silicone grades, so there are no "forever chemicals" in the mould.

Platinum-cure

Platinum-cure silicone sets without the by-products of tin-cure systems, which is why it suits food contact.

Food-grade

Grades formulated and declared for food contact, chosen for your temperatures and wash.

Questions

Do you supply a declaration with every order?

Yes. Every mould ships with a material declaration for the grade used.

Can you match a specification we give you?

Usually, yes. Send it at enquiry stage and we'll confirm honestly.

Yes. Techcraft Industries Culinary Ltd is certificated to the BRCGS Global Standard for Agents and Brokers, Issue 3, with a Grade AA. It covers how we source, import, develop and supply food-grade silicone moulds. You can check it on the BRCGS Directory, and we'll send a copy of the certificate for your supplier file.

What happens if a mould fails early?

Tell us straight away. We'll look at the mould, the use and the wash, and put it right.
