Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Plastics - Part 5: Test methods for overall migration into aqueous food simulants by cell
This part of this European Prestandard describes a method of test for the determination of the overall migration from one surface only of plastics in the form of sheet and film, which are intended to come into contact with foodstuffs, into aqueous based food simulants, by exposure in a standard cell for 10 days, 24 h or 2 h at 40 °C or for 2 h at 70 °C. This method is most suitable for plastics in the form of films and sheets, but is particularly applicable to those materials consisting of more than one layer or of surfaces that differ in their migration characteristics,...
Werkstoffe und Gegenstände in Kontakt mit Lebensmitteln - Kunststoffe - Teil 5: Prüfverfahren für die Gesamtmigration in wässrigen Prüflebensmitteln mittels Zellen
1 Anwendungsbereich
Dieser Teil dieser Europäischen Norm beschreibt Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Gesamtmigration in wässrige Prüflebensmittel aus nur einer Oberfläche von Kunststoffen, die für den Kontakt mit Lebensmittel vorgesehen sind. Dabei wird die Oberfläche, die für den Kontakt mit Lebensmitteln vorgesehen ist, in einer Zelle mit den ausgewählten Prüflebensmitteln bei Temperaturen bis zu und einschließlich 70 °C für die ausgewählten Prüfzeiten in Kontakt gebracht.
Dieses Verfahren ist am besten geeignet für Kunststoffe in Form von Folien und Platten, ist jedoch speziell anwendbar bei solchen Werkstoffen, die aus mehr als einer Schicht oder aus Oberflächen bestehen, die sich in ihren Migrationseigenschaften unterscheiden. Diese müssen im Kontakt mit Prüflebensmitten nur mit der Oberfläche geprüft werden, die für den Kontakt mit Lebensmittel vorgesehen ist.
Matériaux et objets en contact avec les denrées alimentaires - Matiere plastique - Partie 5: Méthodes d'essai pour la migration globale dans les liquides simulateurs aqueux en cellule
La présente partie de la norme européenne spécifie une méthode d'essai permettant de déterminer la migration globale dans des simulants aqueux de plastiques, sous forme de film ou de feuille, dont une seule face est destinée a entrer en contact avec des denrées alimentaires, par exposition de la face en question dans une cellule de référence, a des températures pouvant aller jusqu'a 70 °C pendant des durées d'essai choisies.
Cette méthode est généralement applicable aux plastiques sous forme de films et de feuilles, mais plus particulierement aux matériaux composés de plusieurs couches ou surfaces qui ont des migrations différentes et doivent etre essayés avec des simulants en contact uniquement avec la surface destinée a entrer en contact avec les denrées alimentaires.

EN 1186-5:2002 (E)51 ScopeThis Part of this European Standard specifies test methods for the determination of the overall migration intoaqueous based food simulants from one surface only of plastics, which are intended to come into contact withfoodstuffs, by exposing the food contact surface, using a cell, to the selected food simulant at temperatures up toand including 70 °C for selected test times.This method is most suitable for plastics in the form of films and sheets, but is particularly applicable to thosematerials consisting of more than one layer or of surfaces that differ in their migration characteristics, which shouldbe tested with the food simulant in contact only with the surface which is intended to come into contact withfoodstuffs.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated and undated reference, provisions from other publications.
Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent amendments to and revisions of any of these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.
For undated references the latest edition of thepublication referred to applies (including amendments).EN 1186-1:2002, Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs – Plastics – Part 1: Guide to the selection ofconditions and test methods for overall migration.ISO 648, Laboratory glassware - One mark pipettes.ISO 4788, Laboratory glassware - Graduated measuring cylinders.3 PrincipleThe overall migration of non-volatile substances from a sample of the plastics is determined as the mass of non-volatile residue after evaporation of the food simulant.The selection of the conditions of test and the food simulant(s) will be determined by the conditions of use, seeclauses 4, 5 and 6 of EN 1186-1:2002.Test specimens of approximately 2,5 dm² are exposed in a cell to the food simulant for the exposure time attemperatures up to and including 70 °C.
At the end of the test period, each test specimen is removed from the cell.The food simulant from each test specimen is evaporated to dryness, the mass of the non-volatile residue isdetermined gravimetrically and expressed as milligrams per square decimetre of surface area of test specimen.NOTEIn some circumstances the procedure described in this standard can be used for exposure at temperatures above70 °C.Overall migration is reported as the mean of three determinations on separate test specimens.4 ReagentsNOTEFor details of the preparation and purity of these reagents see clause 4 of EN 1186-1:2002.4.1Distilled water or water of equivalent quality (simulant A)4.2Acetic acid 3 % (w/v) in aqueous solution (simulant B)SIST EN 1186-5:2002

The internaldiameter of the rim of the sealing ring shall be 178,4 mm ± 0,1 mm, to give an area of the test specimen exposed tothe food simulant of 2,5 dm².NOTEThe cells, type A, are constructed with a rubber mat in the base plate.
When using the cells with either the water oraqueous ethanol food simulants it is advised that a disc of aluminium foil is placed on the mat before inserting the testspecimen.
For the aqueous acetic acid food simulant a disc of polytetrafluoroethylene or other suitable material which is inert toacetic acid can be used.
The use of these discs will prevent any substances from the mat influencing the migration result.For details of equivalent cells see 7.3 of EN 1186-1:2002.5.7Pipettes, complying with the minimum requirements of ISO 648, 50 ml and 100 ml.5.8Glass tubes, ground neck, and stoppers, for retaining the food simulant.

EN 1186-5:2002 (E)76 Preparation of test specimens6.1 GeneralIt is essential that test specimens are clean and free from surface contamination (many plastics can readily attractdust due to static charges).
Before preparing test specimens, remove any surface contamination from the sampleby gently wiping it with a lint free cloth, or by brushing with a soft brush.
Under no circumstances wash the samplewith water or solvent.
If it is specified in the instructions for use of the article that it should be washed or cleanedbefore use, see 8.1 of EN 1186-1:2002.
Minimize handling of the samples and where necessary, wear cottongloves.7 Number of test specimensThree test specimens are required for samples, in the form of thin films, sheets, and flat sections cut fromcontainers or similar articles.7.1 Cutting test specimensLay the sample on the cutting slab (5.1) with the surface to be in contact with the food simulant uppermost.
