Paper and board intended to come into contact with foodstuffs - Determination of formaldehyde in an aqueous extract

This European Standard specifies the determination of formaldehyde in aqueous extracts prepared from paper
and board intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. The limit of determination is 1 mg/kg. This means that
for a paper with a grammage of 100 g/m² the limit of determination will be 0,001 mg/dm².
For contact at room temperature the cold water extract is applied. For paper and board materials intended for
boiling and hot filtering purposes the hot water extract is applied.

Papier und Pappe vorgesehen für den Kontakt mit Lebensmitteln - Bestimmung von Formaldehyd in einem wässrigen Extrakt

1 Anwendungsbereich
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Bestimmung von Formaldehyd im Wasserextrakt von Papier, Karton und Pappe fest, welche für den Kontakt mit Lebensmitteln vorgesehen sind. Die Nachweisgrenze liegt bei 1 mg/kg. Das bedeutet, dass für ein Papier mit einer basisflächenbezogenen Masse von 100 g/m² die Nachweisgrenze bei 0,001 mg/dm² liegen wird.
Für Kontakt bei Raumtemperatur wird der Kaltwasserextrakt angewendet. Für Papier, Karton und Pappe, vorgesehen für Kochzwecke und für Heißfiltrationszwecke, wird der Heißwasserextrakt angewendet.

Papiers et cartons destinés à entrer en contact avec des denrées alimentaires - Détermination du formaldéhyde dans un extrait aqueux

1 Domaine d'application
La présente norme européenne spécifie une méthode pour la détermination du formaldéhyde dans un extrait aqueux préparé à partir de papier et de carton destinés à entrer en contact avec des denrées alimentaires. La limite de détermination est de 1 mg/kg, ce qui correspond à 0,001 mg/dm2 pour un papier de grammage 100 g/m².
Pour des contacts à température ambiante, on applique la méthode d'extraction à froid. Pour des papiers et cartons destinés à l'ébullition et à la filtration à chaud, on applique la méthode d'extraction à chaud.
