IS0 8442-2: 1997(E) Foreword IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non- governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard IS0 8442-2 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) in collaboration with IS0 Technical Committee TC 186, Cutlery and tab/e and decorative metal hollow-ware, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between IS0 and CEN (Vienna Agreement). This first edition cancels and replaces IS0 84423 988, which has been technically revised.

@ IS0 IS0 8442-2: 1997(E) Foreword The text of EN IS0 8442-2: 1997 has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 194 “Utensils in contact with food”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 186 “ Cutlery and table and decorative metal hollow-ware”. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 1998, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 1998. EN IS0 8442 consists of the following parts: Part 1: Requirements for cutlery for the preparation of food Part 2: Requirements for stainless steel and silver-plated cutlery Part 3: Requirements for silver-plated and decorative holloware Part 4: Requirements for gold-plated cutlery Further parts are proposed with the following titles Part 5: Specific cutting test Part 6: Lacquered lightly silver-plated table and decorative holloware Part 7: Specification for table cutlery made of precious metals and their alloys, especially silver cutlery Part 8: Specification for silver table and decorative holloware According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Introduction This Standard, based on IS0 8442, is concerned with performance and does not include requirements for design, size, type of finish, blade flexibility, or similar characteristics which are matters of personal choice or which can be readily assessed by the purchaser at the point of sale. In this Standard the thickness of silver deposit is stipulated for each and every item, in contrast to traditional methods which relate to an average of 12 or 24 items, amongst which some items can have a significantly lower thickness of silver coating. Attention is drawn to Directives of the European Community concerning materials and articles in * contact with food, in particular to Directives EC 891109 and EC 90/128.

IS0 8442-2: 1997(E) 1 Scope This part of this Standard specifies material, performance requirements and test methods cutlery (knives, forks, spoons, carving sets, ladles, children’s cutlery and other serving pieces). for table This Standard is applicable to stainless steel cutlery and to silver-plated nickel silver, or silver-plated stainless steel, cutlery. It does not cover cutlery made wholly of precious metals, aluminium, non- stainless steel or that made entirely of nickel silver, nor does it cover gold-plated or chromium-plated cutlery. Three minimum thicknesses of silver are specified for silver-plated cutlery. 2 Normative references This Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies.
