Papier und Pappe - Bestimmung der Zytotoxizität von wässrigen Extrakten

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren für die Laboruntersuchung des potentiellen zytotoxischen Effekts von Papier- oder Pappematerialien fest. Dieses Verfahren dient dazu, den Feuchtkontakt mit Lebensmittelsimulantien zu beurteilen.

Papier et carton - Détermination de la cytotoxicité des extraits aqueux

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode d'essai pour l'évaluation en laboratoire de l'effet
cytotoxique potentiel des matériaux à base de papier et de carton. Cette méthode d'essai est destinée à
évaluer le contact humide avec un simulant alimentaire.

Papir, karton in lepenka - Ugotavljanje citotoksičnosti vodnih ekstraktov

Ta evropski standard določa testno metodo za laboratorijsko oceno možnih citotoksičnih učinkov materialov iz papirja in lepenke. Ta testna metoda je namenjena za ocenitev mokrega stika s simulantom hrane.

This European Standard specifies a test method for the laboratory assessment of the potential cytotoxic effect of paper and board materials. This test method is intended to assess wet contact with food simulant. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 645, Paper and board intended to come into contact with foodstuffs — Preparation of a cold water extract EN 647, Paper and board intended to come into contact with foodstuffs — Preparation of a hot water extract 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 reference water purified water or pyrodistilled water used as the reference in the cytotoxicity assay
3.2 purified water produced starting with tap water, which then undergoes the following treatment sequence: pre-filtration, reverse osmosis, filtering through activated carbon powder (adsorption) then through cartridges of mixed-bed ion exchange microresins (demineralisation), ultrafiltration (molecular weight cut-off at 10 kDa), and UV photo-oxidation
NOTE Alternatively, any other purification regime, which produces HPLC-quality water (resistance > 18,0 MΩ/cm, Total organic carbon < 3 ppb, no micro-organisms) or waters of grade 1 or 2 (see EN ISO 3696), can be used. 3.3
pyrodistilled water
water prepared as described in Annex A, that is used to maintain the cell line, and which can also be used for cleaning laboratory glassware 3.4 water extract reference water that has been exposed to contact with paper or board
NOTE See EN 645 or EN 647 with necessary modifications. 3.5 control water reference water that has been treated according to the same conditions as the water extract but without being exposed to contact with paper or board 3.6

sample culture medium prepared with water extract as specified in 3.4 3.8 test material one or more components, or a specified quantity of paper or board, that is randomly sampled from a batch 4 Principle The test protocol specified in this document is intended to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of substances migrating from food contact paper and board into wet foods intended for human consumption. The food simulant used is water as described in Clauses 7 and 10. The test evaluates the impact of the water extract on the rate of RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) synthesis by measuring the incorporation of a radioactive tracer (tritiated uridine) in human cells (HeLa S3). The food contact paper and board samples to be tested are exposed to the extraction water as described in Clause 10. The extracts then undergo cytotoxicity assessment, and the results obtained are compared to the results for a non-cytotoxic control (a purified water for which the rate of RNA synthesis is considered optimal and is therefore arbitrarily set at 100 %). Potassium dichromate, as described in 11.4.3, is used as a positive control. 5 Reagents 5.1 Liquid scintillant for tritium counts on dry filters 5.2 Culture media The pH of all culture media used shall be 7,4 ± 0,1: pH to be adjusted using a sterile NaOH (or HCl) solution. 5.2.1 Culture media – quality and storage All culture media, foetal serum and solutions used for cell culture shall be sterile and of sufficiently high quality to guarantee optimal cell growth (see 12.2).
