Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Plastics substances subject to limitation - Part 5: Determination of vinylidene chloride in food simulants

This part of this European Standard specifies a method for the determination of vinylidene chloride monomer in food simulants.  The method is applicable to aqueous food simulants, to the fatty food simulant olive oil and other fatty food simulants, simulants D, e.g. a mixture of synthetic triglycerides or sunflower oil or corn oil.  The level of vinylidene chloride determined is expressed as milligrams of vinylidene chloride per kilogram of food simulant.  The method is appropriate for the quantitative determination of vinylidene chloride at a level of 0,05 mg/kg.
NOTE   This method was developed for the determination of vinylidene chloride in 15 % v/v aqueous ethanol, as required by the regulations in force at the time the development work was carried out.  However, this method, developed for 15 (v/v) aqueous ethanol, should be applicable to the determination in 10 (v/v) aqueous ethanol.

Matériaux et objets en contact avec des denrées alimentaires - Substances dans les matieres plastiques soumises a des limitations - Partie 5 : Détermination du chlorure de vinylidene dans les simulants d'aliments alimentaires

La présente partie de la présente norme spécifie une méthode de détermination du monomere de chlorure de vinylidene dans les simulants d'aliments. La méthode s'applique aux simulants d'aliments aqueux, aux simulants d'aliments gras tels que l'huile d'olive et autres simulants gras, aux simulants D, par exemple un mélange de triglycérides synthétiques, huile de tournesol ou huile de mais. La concentration de chlorure de vinylidene déterminée est exprimée en milligrammes de chlorure de vinylidene par kilogramme de simulant d'aliment. La méthode convient a la détermination quantitative du chlorure de vinylidene a un niveau de 0,05 mg/kg.
NOTE   Cette méthode a été élaborée pour déterminer la quantité de chlorure de vinylidene dans de l'éthanol aqueux a 15 % v/v, conformément aux réglementations en vigueur au moment ou le travail de mise au point a été effectué. Cependant, cette méthode, élaborée pour de l'éthanol aqueux a 15 % (v/v), devrait pouvoir s'appliquer a la détermination dans de l'éthanol aqueux a 10 % (v/v).

EN 13130-5:2004 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 13130-5:2004) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 194 “Utensils in contact with food”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This document was prepared by Subcommittee SC1 of TC 194 as one of a series of analytical test methods for plastics materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2004, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2004. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. This standard is intended to support Directives 2002/72/EC [1], 89/109/EEC [2], 82/711/EEC [3] and its amendments 93/8/EEC [4] and 97/48/EC [5], and 85/572/EEC [6]. At the time of preparation and publication of this part of EN 13130 the European Union legislation relating to plastics materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs is incomplete. Further Directives and amendments to existing Directives are expected which could change the legislative requirements which this standard supports. It is therefore strongly recommended that users of this standard refer to the latest relevant published Directive(s) before commencement of a test or tests described in this standard.

SIST EN 13130-5:2004



EN 13130-5:2004 (E) 5 Introduction Vinylidene chloride (VdC) (1,1-dichloroethylene), H2C=CCl2, is a monomer used in the manufacture of certain plastics films and coatings intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.
During the manufacture of vinylidene chloride polymers and copolymers, residual vinylidene chloride monomer can remain in the polymer and can migrate into food coming into contact with the polymer. The method described in this part of the standard should be used in conjunction with part 1 of this standard which describes the procedures required prior to the determination of vinylidene chloride. SIST EN 13130-5:2004



EN 13130-5:2004 (E) 6
1 Scope This part of this European Standard specifies a method for the determination of vinylidene chloride monomer in food simulants.
The method is applicable to aqueous food simulants, to the fatty food simulant olive oil and other fatty food simulants, simulants D, e.g. a mixture of synthetic triglycerides or sunflower oil or corn oil.
The level of vinylidene chloride determined is expressed as milligrams of vinylidene chloride per kilogram of food simulant.
The method is appropriate for the quantitative determination of vinylidene chloride at a level of 0,05 mg/kg. NOTE This method was developed for the determination of vinylidene chloride in 15 % (v/v) aqueous ethanol, as required by the regulations in force at the time the development work was carried out.
However, this method, developed for 15 (v/v) aqueous ethanol, should be applicable to the determination in 10 (v/v) aqueous ethanol. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.
For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).
EN 13130-1:2004, Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Plastics substances subject to limitation - Part 1: Guide to test methods for the specific migration of substances from plastics to foods and food simulants and the determination of substances in plastics and the selection of conditions of exposure to food simulants 3 Principle The level of vinylidene chloride in a food simulant is determined by headspace gas chromatography with automated sample injection and using either electron capture or flame ionization detection.
Quantification is achieved using 1-chloropropane (1-CP) as internal standard with calibration against blank samples of simulant fortified with vinylidene chloride.
If blank samples of simulant cannot be obtained then the method of standard addition described in annex A is employed.
If interferences are experienced with the internal standard then calibration is carried out by external standardization. If automated headspace sampling cannot be performed, manual injection as described in annex B shall be applied. Confirmation of vinylidene chloride levels is carried out either by combined gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) or by re-analysis on a second GC column of different polarity. 4 Reagents WARNING:
All chemicals are hazardous to health to a greater or lesser extent.
It is beyond the scope of this standard to give instructions for the safe handling of all chemicals, that meet, in full, the legal obligations in all countries in which this standard may be followed.
Therefore, specific warnings are not given and users of this standard shall ensure that they meet all the necessary safety requirements in their own country. SIST EN 13130-5:2004
