Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Plastics - Part 11: Test methods for overall migration into mixtures of C-labelled synthetic triglycerides
This European Standard describes test methods for the determination of the overall migration into fatty food simulants from plastics materials and articles into a mixture of 14C-labelled synthetic triglycerides at temperatures above 20 °C and up to, and including, 121 °C for selected times.
These methods are suitable for plastics in the form of films and sheets, a wide range of articles or containers from which test pieces of a suitable size can be cut and containers and articles that can be filled.
The test methods described are applicable to all plastics.

Diese Verfahren sind geeignet für Kunststoffe in Form von Folien und Lagen und einen großen Bereich von Gegenständen oder Behältern, aus denen Prüfmuster geeigneter Größe ausgeschnitten werden können, sowie für Behälter und Gegenstände, die gefüllt werden können.
Die beschriebenen Prüfverfahren sind auf alle Kunststoffarten anwendbar.
Matériaux et objets en contact avec les denrées alimentaires - Matières plastiques - Partie 11: Méthodes d'essai pour la migration globale dans des mélanges de triglycérides synthétiques marqués au 14C
La présente Norme européenne décrit des méthodes d'essai pour la détermination de la migration globale des matières et objets plastiques dans des simulants alimentaires gras, immergés dans un mélange de triglycérides synthétiques marqués au 14C à des températures supérieures à 20 °C et inférieures ou égales à 121 °C, pendant des durées limitées.
Ces méthodes s'appliquent notamment aux matières plastiques sous forme de films et de feuilles, à une large gamme d'objets ou de récipients à partir desquels des éprouvettes de taille appropriée peuvent être prélevées ainsi qu'à des récipients et objets pouvant être remplis.
Les méthodes d'essai décrites sont applicables à toutes les matières plastiques.

FurtherDirectives and amendments to existing Directives are expected which could change the legislativerequirements which this standard supports.
It is therefore strongly recommended that users of thisstandard refer to the latest relevant published Directive(s) before commencement of any of the test ortests described in this standard.Further parts of this standard have been prepared, concerned with the determination of overallmigration from plastics materials into food simulants.

Laboratories should ensure that they comply with local legislation requirements.NOTE 1This method is most suitable for plastics in the form of films and sheets, but can be applied to a widerange of articles or containers from which test pieces of a suitable size can be cut.The overall migration from a sample of the plastics is determined as the loss in mass per unit ofsurface area intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.The selection of the conditions of test will be determined by the conditions of use, see clauses 6 and 7of EN 1186-1:2002.SIST EN 1186-11:2003
In this method the mixture of 14C-labelled synthetictriglycerides that remains after soxhlet extraction is released by dissolution or combustion.
Thecombustion method is suitable for all plastics, the dissolution method is only suitable for polymers thatare soluble in a suitable solvent, e.g. tetrahydrofuran.NOTE 2Good sensitivity can only be achieved for samples of very low mass, e.g. for thin films.
The specificradioactivity of the mixture of 14C-labelled synthetic triglycerides routinely used is approximately 200 dpm/mg.
Inroutine tests the limit of determination in liquid scintillation counting is in the order of 20 dpm per sample, forcombustion, and 10 dpm per sample, for dissolution.
In combustion only aliquots up to approximately 50 mg canbe used.
Consequently the determination limit for retained simulant is in the order of 0,1 mg to 50 mg.
It isapparent that for heavy test specimens the method gives only an estimation of the retained simulant.
Thedissolution method, which is generally preferred, results in similar figures.
A higher specific radioactivity of thesimulant would improve the determination limit.Migration into the mixture of 14C-labelled synthetic triglycerides is calculated by subtracting the mass of14C-labelled synthetic triglycerides retained by the test specimen from the mass of the test specimenafter removal from the 14C-labelled synthetic triglycerides, and then subtracting this mass from theinitial mass of the specimen.The total loss in mass is expressed in milligrams per square decimetre of surface area of the specimenand the overall migration is reported as the mean of a minimum of three determinations on separatetest specimens.To allow for inaccuracies which may arise during the procedure and which may be difficult to detect,due for example to contamination or loss of the 14C-labelled synthetic triglycerides during the samplehandling stages, quadruplicate determinations are carried out on the sample allowing for the resultfrom one specimen to be discarded.This method includes variations which are applicable to certain plastics and to experiencedlaboratories.3.2 ReagentsNOTEAll reagents should be of recognized analytical quality, unless otherwise specified.3.2.1 Mixture of 14C-labelled synthetic triglycerides, simulant D as specified in 5.2 ofEN 1186-1:2002.NOTEDetails of suppliers can be obtained from CEN.3.2.2 Extraction solvent (see 10.1 of EN 1186-1:2002).3.2.2.1Pentane 98 % (mixed isomers) boiling point 36 °C.WARNINGPentane is a very volatile and highly flammable solvent.
Take care when using and handlingthis solvent to prevent contact with sources of ignition.
It is not recommended for extractions with thissolvent to be left unattended, particularly overnight.NOTEDue to low boiling point of the solvent, cooled condenser water can be used to prevent undue loss ofthe solvent from the condenser.SIST EN 1186-11:2003
For environmental reasons the use of this solventshould be avoided where possible, see 10.1 of EN 1186-1:2002.
Experience has shown that this solvent althougheffective for most plastics requires longer periods of extraction.3.2.3 Liquid scintillation cocktail, suitable for scintillation counting of the 14C-labelled synthetictriglycerides and in which the fat simulant is soluble.3.2.4 Diethyl ether.3.2.5 Karl Fischer solvent, commercially prepared, methanol and chloroform based, water capacityof 5 mg/ml.3.2.6 Karl Fischer titrant (for volumetric apparatus only), commercially prepared, water capacity of 2mg/ml.3.3 Apparatus3.3.1 Cutting slab, clean smooth glass, metal or plas
