EN 16418:2014 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a test method for the laboratory assessment of the potential cytotoxic effect of paper and board intended to come into contact with foodstuffs using specifically the HepG2 cell line. Compared to the EN 15845[1], HepG2 cells are more representative of a human oral exposure to xenobiotics, due to the presence in the cells of phase I, II and III enzymes of the metabolism. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 645, Paper and board intended to come into contact with foodstuffs - Preparation of a cold water extract EN 647, Paper and board intended to come into contact with foodstuffs - Preparation of a hot water extract 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 reference water tap water which undergoes the following treatment sequence: pre-filtration, reverse osmosis, filtering through activated carbon powder (adsorption) then through cartridges of mixed-bed ion exchange microresins (demineralisation), ultrafiltration (molecular weight cut-off at 10 kDa), and UV photo-oxidation Note 1 to entry: Alternatively, any other purification regime, which produces HPLC-quality water (resistance > 18,0 MΩ/cm, total organic carbon < 3 ppb, no microorganism) or waters of grade 1 or 2 according to EN ISO 3696, can be used. 3.2 water extract reference water that has been exposed to contact with paper or board Note 1 to entry: See EN 645 or EN 647. 3.3 negative control water reference water that has been treated according to the same conditions as the water extract but without being in contact to paper or board 3.4 positive control waters 1) fresh 2,5 mg/l solution of potassium dichromate (CAS 7778-50-9) prepared in reference water and sterilized by filtration through 0,22 µm filter and kept at room temperature in the dark and 2) a stock 2 mg/ml solution of benzo[|a]pyrene (CAS 50-32-8) prepared in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and kept at 4 °C in the dark. Dilute this stock solution 1 000 times in reference water before use 3.5 reference sample culture medium prepared with reference water as specified in 3.1 SIST EN 16418:2014



EN 16418:2014 (E) 5 3.6 test sample culture medium prepared with water extract as specified in 3.2 3.7 negative control sample culture medium prepared with negative control water (3.3) alone or with 0,1 % of DMSO (if benzo[a]pyrene is used as positive control) 3.8 positive control sample culture medium prepared with positive control water as specified in 3.4 3.9 test material a specified quantity of paper or board, that is randomly sampled from a batch 4 Principle The test method specified in this document is intended to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of water extracts from materials for wet foods intended for human consumption. The test evaluates the impact of the water extract on the rate of RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) synthesis by measuring the incorporation of a radioactive marker (tritiated uridine) in human cells (HepG2). The food contact paper and board samples to be tested are extracted into the water as described in Clause 10. The extracts then undergo cytotoxicity assessment, and the results obtained are compared to the results of a non-cytotoxic control purified water (for which the rate of RNA synthesis is considered optimal and arbitrarily set at 100 %). Potassium dichromate and/or benzo[a]pyrene, prepared from stock solutions described in 3.4 and diluted as described in 11.4.4, are used as positive controls. 5 Reagents 5.1 Liquid scintillant, for tritium counts on dry filters 5.2 Culture media The pH of all culture media used shall be 7,4 ± 0,1: pH to be adjusted using a sterile NaOH (or HCl) solution. 5.2.1 Culture media – quality and storage All culture media, foetal serum and solutions used for cell culture shall be sterile and of sufficiently high quality to guarantee optimal cell growth (see 12.2). They shall be stored in compliance with manufacturer's instructions, where given. Complete medium with additives and serum should be stored at 4 °C for no longer than two weeks. 5.2.2 Medium for routine culture Composition: SIST EN 16418:2014

On the day of kinetic measurement of uridine incorporation, the required volume of uridine is taken under sterile conditions and put into a sterile tube to prepare a uridine solution at 10 µCi/ml in culture medium (5.2.3) prepared with reference water (3.1). NOTE The products and materials referred to in the present document are considered non-cytotoxic if they do not trigger a cytotoxic response, i.e. if the linear regression line generated by measuring the rate of RNA synthesis meets the conditions set out in 13.3. 6 Cell line 6.1 Generating the cell strain The cell line used is HepG2, a human hepatoma cell line. This line shall be generated from recognised sources, such as the HB-8065 line of the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) or European Collection of Cell Cultures (ECACC) No. 85011430. 6.2 Maintaining the cell strain Cells shall be cultured without antibiotics, and checks of absence of mycoplasma shall be run at frequent intervals: a) seed the HepG2 cells in the culture medium (5.2.2) in a flask (9.2.1) and incubate at (37 ± 1) °C until a 90 % confluent lawn of growth is formed; b) remove the culture medium, and rinse the cell lawn at least twice with about 10 ml of the rinse medium (5.3); c) cover the cell lawn with 2 ml of the dissociation solution (5.4) and swirl around gently to cover the entire bottom of the flask. Leave on for 1 min and remove excess trypsin/EDTA solution; d) incubate the flask at (37 ± 1) °C for 2 min to 5 min. Observe the cells detaching under the inverted microscope periodically tapping on the side of the flask to assist in detachment; e) once the cells are detached, add 10 ml of the culture medium (5.2.2) to stop the reaction. Pipette the medium up and down over the bottom of the flask ensuring that all the cells are detached and resuspend in the medium; f) transfer the cell suspension to a sterilized polypropylene tube; g) homogenise cell suspension with a syringe and needle (9.2.3); h) redistribute the cell suspension obtained into the required number of flasks, and add the appropriate volume of culture medium (5.2.2); SIST EN 16418:2014
