Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Plastics - Part 13: Test methods for overall migration at high temperatures
This European Standard describes test methods for the determination of the overall migration into fatty food simulants from plastics materials and articles, by total immersion of test specimens in a fatty food simulant at temperatures from 100 °C up to and including, 175 °C for selected times. Also described is a procedure with a substitute test medium. In this substitute procedure the mass of components adsorbed on modified polyphenylene oxide (MPPO) is taken as a measure for the assessment of the overall migration into olive oil.
NOTE 1 The total immersion 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.
NOTE 2 A comparative migration test carried out with polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate high temperature application containers as test samples at conditions 2 h at 100 °C and 2 h at 175 °C, respectively, in contact with 14C-labelled synthetic triglyceride and MPPO provided test results comparable within the analytical tolerance of the methods.
NOTE 3 To obtain reproducible and repeatable results using the MPPO method it may be necessary to measure the temperature of the test specimen before starting the migration period. An appropriate method for measuring the temperature of the test specimen needs to be established.
The described methods are most suitable for food contact articles in the form of sheets and films, but can also be applied to a wide range of articles and containers.
Werkstoffe und Gegenstände in Kontakt mit Lebensmitteln - Kunststoffe - Teil 13: Prüfverfahren für die Gesamtmigration bei hohen Temperaturen
Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt eine Prüfmethode zur Bestimmung der Globalmigration aus Kunststoff-materialien und -artikeln in fetthaltige Prüflebensmittel durch vollständiges Eintauchen von Prüfmustern in fetthaltige Prüflebensmittel bei Temperaturen von 100 °C bis einschließlich 175 °C und in ausgewählten Zeiten.
Ebenfalls wird ein Verfahren beschrieben mit einem Ersatz- Prüfmittel. Bei diesem Ersatzverfahren wird die Masse der Stoffe, die an modifiziertem Polyphenylenoxid (MPPO) adsorbiert werden, als Maß für die Abschätzung der Globalmigration in Olivenöl genommen.
ANMERKUNG 1 Die Methode wurde bezüglich des vollständigen Eintauchens für die Verwendung von Olivenöl als fetthaltiges Prüflebensmittel geschrieben. Die Prüfmethode kann aber auch mit entsprechenden Abänderungen für die ¿anderen fetthaltigen Prüflebensmittel" - genannt Prüflebensmittel D - verwendet werden. Dieses sind eine Mischung synthetischer Triglyceride, Sonnenblumenöl und Maisöl
ANMERKUNG 2 Eine vergleichende Migrationsprüfung, die mit Behältern für den Gebrauch bei hohen Temperaturen aus Polypropylen und Polyethylenterephthalat als Prüfmuster 2 h lang bei einer Temperatur von 100 °C bzw. 2 h lang bei einer Temperatur von 175 °C in Kontakt mit 14 C-markiertem synthetischen Triglycerid und MPPO durchgeführt wurde, lieferte Prüfergebnisse, die innerhalb der analytischen Toleranzen dieser Verfahren vergleichbar sind.
ANMERKUNG 3 Um reproduzierbare und wiederholbare Ergebnisse mit der MPPO-Methode zu erhalten, kann es erforderlich sein, die Temperatur des Prüfmusters vor Beginn der Migration zu messen. Es muss ein geeignetes Verfahren zur Messung der Temperatur des Prüfmusters festgelegt werden.
Die beschriebenen Methoden sind am besten geeignet für Artikel mit Lebensmittelkontakt in Gestalt von Platten und Folien. Sie können auch angewendet werden auf einen weiten Bereich an Artikeln und Behältern.
Matériaux et objets en contact avec les denrées alimentaires - Matière plastique - Partie 13: Méthodes d'essai pour la migration globale à hautes températures
La présente partie de la Norme européenne décrit des méthodes d'essai de détermination de la migration globale par immersion totale d'éprouvettes de matériaux et d'objets en plastiques destinés à entrer en contact avec les denrées alimentaires dans des simulants gras à des températures comprises entre 100 °C et 175 °C inclus pendant des durées déterminées. La Norme décrit également un mode opératoire avec un milieu d'essai de remplacement. Dans ce mode opératoire de remplacement, la masse de composants adsorbée sur de l'oxyde de polyphénylène modifié (MPPO) est considérée comme une mesure de l'évaluation de la migration globale dans l'huile d'olive.
NOTE 1 La méthode d'essai par immersion totale a été écrite pour l'huile d'olive. Elle peut également être utilisée, avec les modifications qui s'imposent, pour d'autres simulants gras appelés du terme générique " simulant D ", mélange synthétique de triglycérides, d'huile de tournesol et d'huile de maïs. Ces autres simulants gras donneront des chromatogrammes des esters méthyliques du simulant utilisé différents de ceux des esters méthyliques de l'huile d'olive. Il est recommandé de choisir pour le dosage quantitatif du simulant extrait des éprouvettes les pics de chromatogramme correspondant aux esters méthyliques des autres simulants gras.
NOTE 2 Un essai comparatif de migration effectué sur des échantillons de récipients pour application à haute température en polypropylène et en polyéthylène téréphtalate, respectivement pendant 2 h à 100 °C et 2 h à 175 °C, en contact avec des triglycérides synthétiques marqués au 14C et du MPPO a donné des résultats comparables dans la limite des tolérances d'analyse des méthodes.
NOTE 3 Afin d'obtenir des résultats répétables et reproductibles avec la méthode au MPPO, il peut être nécessaire de mesurer la température de l'éprouvette avant de démarrer la période de migration. Il faut donc déterminer une méthode appropriée de mesurage de cette température.

Experience hasshown that it is difficult to achieve reproducible results owing to different laboratories having different equipmentwhich give rise to variations in the time taken to reach the exposure temperature.
A method is described fordetermining overall migration by total immersion using an aluminium block with a consistent thermal capacity.Other analytical difficulties with olive oil include possible oxidation of oil at elevated temperatures and the hazard topersonnel working with hot oil. Replacement of olive oil by an appropriate adsorbent material, in principal, can solveor reduce these problems and offers further experimental advantages.1 ScopeThis European Standard specifies test methods for the determination of the overall migration into fatty foodsimulants from plastics materials and articles, by total immersion of test specimens in a fatty food simulant attemperatures from 100 °C up to and including, 175 °C for selected times.
Also described is a procedure with asubstitute test medium.
In this substitute procedure the mass of components adsorbed on modified polyphenyleneoxide (MPPO) is taken as a measure for the assessment of the overall migration into olive oil.NOTE 1The total immersion test method has been written for use with the fatty food simulant, olive oil.
The test method canalso be used with appropriate modifications with 'other fatty food simulants' called simulant D - a synthetic mixture oftriglycerides, sunflower oil and corn oil.
These other fatty food simulants produce different chromatograms for the simulantmethyl esters to those of the methyl esters of olive oil.
Suitable chromatogram peaks of the methyl esters of the other fatty foodsimulants should be selected for the quantitative determination of the simulant extracted from the test specimens.NOTE 2A comparative migration test carried out with polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate high temperatureapplication containers as test samples at conditions 2 h at 100 °C and 2 h at 175 °C, respectively, in contact with 14C-labelledsynthetic triglyceride and MPPO provided test results comparable within the analytical tolerance of the methods.NOTE 3To obtain reproducible and repeatable results using the MPPO method it may be necessary to measure thetemperature of the test specimen before starting the migration period.
An appropriate method for measuring the temperature ofthe test specimen needs to be established.The described methods are most suitable for food contact articles in the form of sheets and films, but can also beapplied to a wide range of articles and containers.SIST EN 1186-13:2003

Methylation is carried out by reacting a borontrifluoride/methanol complex with fatty acids formed by hydrolysing the oil with potassium hydroxide.
An internalstandard, triheptadecanoin, is added prior to the extraction of the absorbed olive oil from the test specimens.
Thisensures that any active or extractable components of the plastics react with the internal standard, as well as withthe extracted olive oil. The internal standard is also subjected to the hydrolysis and methylation reactions, providingcompensation for any inefficiencies in the hydrolysis and methylation processes.Migration into the olive oil is calculated by subtracting the mass of olive oil retained by the test specimen from themass of the test specimen after removal from the olive oil, then subtracting this mass from the initial mass of thespecimen.The total loss in mass is expressed in milligrams per square decimetre of surface area of the specimen and theoverall migration is reported as the mean of a minimum of three determinations on separate test specimens.To allow for inaccuracies which may arise during the procedure and which may be difficult to detect, due forexample to contamination or loss of oil during the sample handling stages, four determinations are carried out onthe sample allowing for the result from one specimen to be discarded.This method includes variations which are applicable to certain plastics.NOTEBefore starting a migration exercise, the test sample should be examined for the presence of components interferingin the determination of the amount of olive oil extracted, see 9.3 of EN 1186-1:2002.
