ADOPTED_FROM:CEN/TS 14234:2002
This Technical Specification specifies test methods for 'alternative tests' and 'substitute tests' performed with volatile test media, iso-octane and a volume fraction of 95 % aqueous ethanol, for the determination of overall migration from polymeric coatings on paper and board intended to come into contact with fatty foodstuffs.
NOTE 1 It also includes guidance for the application of Council Directive 82/711/EEC [1], as last amended by Commission Directives 93/8/EC and 97/48/EC [2] [3] as regards the determination of the specific and overall migration into fatty food simulants (fat test) and includes a glossary to clarify the terminology used, see annex B.
NOTE 2 The iso-octane and a volume fraction of 95 % aqueous ethanol volatile test media used in these test methods are those specified for 'substitute tests' in Council Directive 82/711/EEC and its subsequent amendments. In addition to the use of iso-octane and 95 % v/v aqueous ethanol as test media for 'substitute tests', Council 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. A test method for overall migration from polymeric coatings intended to come into contact with fatty foodstuffs using modified polyphenylene oxide (MPPO) is in preparation.
