Materials and articles in contact with food stuffs. Plastics. Test methods for 'substitute tests' for overall migration from plastics intended to come into contact with fatty food stuffs using test mediaiso-octane and 95% ethanol
This European Standard describes test methods for 'substitute tests' performed with volatile test media, iso-octane and 95 % v/v aqueous ethanol, for the determination of overall migration from plastics intended to come into contact with fatty foodstuffs at all temperatures and for any period of time. These test methods are suitable for plastics samples in a wide variety of forms. NOTE 1 The iso-octane and 95 % v/v aqueous ethanol volatile test media used in these test methods are those specified for 'substitute tests' in Commission Directive 82/711/EEC [3]and its subsequent amendments [4], [5]. In addition to the use of iso-octane and 95 % v/v aqueous ethanol as test media for 'substitute tests', Commission Directive 82/711/EEC and its subsequent amendments specifies the use of modified polyphenylene oxide as a test medium for use at temperatures of 100 °C and above. For a test method for overall migration from plastics intended to come into contact with fatty foodstuffs using modified polyphenylene oxide as a test medium, see EN 1186-13. NOTE 2 These test methods can also be used for the 'alternative tests' described in Council Directive 82/711/EEC and its subsequent amendments, when the chosen volatile test media are iso-octane and 95 % aqueous ethanol, provided equivalence is shown with olive oil, see prEN 1186-1:2001.
