This Part of this European Standard specifies test methods for the determination of the overall migration into fatty
food simulants, from one surface only of plastics in the form of sheet and film at temperatures above 20 °C and up
to, but not including, 100 °C for selected times.
This method is most suitable for plastics in the form of films and sheets, but is particularly applicable to those
materials consisting of more than one layer or surfaces that differ in their migration characteristics, which have to
be tested with food simulant in contact with the surface which is intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.
NOTE This test method has been written for use with the fatty food simulant, olive oil. The test method can also be used
with appropriate modifications with other fatty food simulants called simulant D - a synthetic mixture of triglycerides, sunflower
oil and corn oil. These other fatty food simulants will produce different chromatograms for the simulant methyl esters to those of
the methyl esters of olive oil. Select suitable chromatogram peaks of the methyl esters of the other fatty food simulants for the
quantitative determination of the simulant extracted from the test specimens.
The test method described is applicable to most types of plastics, although there are some plastics for which it is
known not to be applicable.
Beschrieben wird ein Prüfverfahren für die Bestimmung der Gesamtmigration in fettige Prüflebensmittel aus nur einer Oberfläche von Kunststoffplatten oder -folien bei Temperaturen von über 20 °C bis zu (aber nicht einschließlich) 100 °C innerhalb ausgewählter Prüfzeiten. Geeignet ist dieses Verfahren für Kunststoffe in Form von Platten und Folien, jedoch speziell für solche Materialien, die aus mehr als einer Schicht oder Oberfläche bestehen, die sich in ihren Migrationseigenschaften unterscheiden, wobei nur jene Oberfläche mit dem Prüflebensmittel zu prüfen ist, die für das In-Kontakt-Kommen mit Lebensmitteln vorgesehen ist.
