This European Standard specifies the test method for assessment of the odour released by a paper or board sample. It is applicable to all kinds of paper and board, including coated and/or printed material, intended to come into direct or indirect contact with foodstuffs. It is not applicable for the determination of consumers' preference.

Papier und Pappe vorgesehen für den Kontakt mit Lebensmitteln - Sensorische Analyse - Teil 1: Geruch

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bewertung des Geruchs fest, der von einem Papier oder Karton abgegeben wird. Es ist anwendbar auf alle Arten von Papieren und Kartons, einschließlich beschichtetem und/oder bedrucktem Material, das dazu bestimmt ist, mit Lebensmitteln in direkten oder indirekten Kontakt zu kommen. Es ist nicht anwendbar als Akzeptanz- oder Beliebtheitstest für Verbraucher.

Papier et cartons destinés à entrer avec les denrées alimentaires - Analyse sensorielle - Partie 1 : Odeur

La présente Norme européenne spécifie la méthode d’essai permettant d’évaluer l’odeur émise par un échantillon de papier ou de carton. Elle s’applique à tous les types de papier et carton, y compris couchés et/ou imprimés, destinés à entrer en contact direct ou indirect avec des denrées alimentaires. Elle n’est pas applicable à la détermination des préférences des consommateurs.

Overview

SIST EN 1230-1:2010 is a European standard established by CEN that provides a standardized test method for assessing the odour released by paper and board materials intended for direct or indirect contact with foodstuffs. This standard ensures that paper and board packaging materials meet strict sensory quality requirements related to odour, which is crucial for food safety and consumer acceptance. It applies to all types of paper and board products, including coated and printed variants, but explicitly excludes tests based on consumer preference.

This standard is critical for manufacturers and quality control laboratories working with food packaging materials, enabling them to evaluate and control odour emissions to prevent undesirable transfer of smells to food products.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application: Covers sensory testing of odour from paper and board materials in contact with food, including coated and printed types.
• Test Principle: Test pieces are stored in sealed glass jars at controlled temperature, and odour intensity is evaluated by a trained panel.
• Test Panel Requirements: At least six selected assessors trained in sensory odour evaluation with consistent scoring capability.
• Testing Conditions: Conducted at (23 ± 2) °C in an odour-free, quiet, well-ventilated environment.
• Evaluation Scale: Odour intensity is rated on a scale from 0 (no odour) to 4 (strong odour), with half-point increments allowed.
• Sample Preparation: Samples are prepared as test pieces totaling 6 dm² per flask and stored in odorless, cleaned containers to prevent contamination.
• Cleaning Protocol: Specifies effective cleaning procedures to ensure testing equipment does not influence results with residual odours.
• Result Interpretation: Utilizes median scores from assessors, with guidelines to discard inconsistent results and requirements for retesting if necessary.
• Reporting: Detailed test reports include sample identification, testing conditions, odour intensity results, and any deviations from the standard.

Applications

SIST EN 1230-1:2010 serves a vital role in the food packaging industry, particularly for:

• Manufacturers of paper and board packaging materials to maintain quality control.
• Quality assurance laboratories conducting sensory evaluation of food contact materials.
• Regulatory bodies monitoring compliance with food safety standards related to packaging.
• Research and development teams designing food packaging that minimizes odour transfer risks.

By following this standard, stakeholders ensure that packaging materials do not impart unwanted odours that could affect food quality, safety, or consumer acceptance. This sensory evaluation complements chemical and physical testing methods for comprehensive food contact material assessments.

Related Standards

• EN 1230-2:2009 – Sensory analysis - Part 2: Off-flavour (taint), focusing on taste alterations due to packaging.
• EN ISO 186:2002 – Sampling paper and board for quality determination.
• ISO 8586-1 – Guidelines on selection and training of sensory assessors.
• ISO 8589 – Design of sensory test rooms.
• CEN/TR 15645-1 – Calibration and reference guides for odour testing.
• ISO 13302 – Methods for evaluating flavour modifications caused by packaging.

These complementary standards provide a robust framework for sensory analysis and quality control of paper and board materials used in food contact applications.
