General Information
Overview
EN 17917:2023 - Paper and board intended to come into contact with foodstuffs - Determination of aluminium in aqueous extracts - defines a laboratory test method to quantify aluminium (Al) released from paper and board into aqueous extracts. The method is intended for materials with extractable aluminium at or above 0.2 mg/L, although lower levels can be measured with suitably sensitive instrumentation and trace-analysis conditions.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Applies to cold or hot aqueous extracts prepared according to EN 645 (cold) or EN 647 (hot).
- Analytical principle: Determination by ICP‑OES (inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry) or ICP‑MS; graphite‑furnace AAS allowed if validated.
- Sample prep: Filter extracts (0.45 µm membrane), stabilize with nitric acid (1.0 mL HNO3 per 100 mL extract).
- Reagents & lab grade: Use water grade 1 per EN ISO 3696 and trace‑element‑grade reagents; washware with dilute nitric acid to reduce blanks.
- Calibration: Prepare calibration solutions covering measured range (example 0.2–5 mg/L). Include calibration blank and account for blank values from reagents and equipment.
- Instrument settings: Suggested ICP‑OES wavelengths: 396.152, 308.215, 237.312 nm. For ICP‑MS measure isotope 27Al.
- Quality control: Run certified reference materials, monitor blanks, match acid concentrations between samples and standards, avoid contamination/adsorption.
- Results expression: Calculate mg/L of extract while correcting for blank, sample moisture content and sample mass. Include required information in test report.
Practical applications and users
- Food contact compliance testing: Laboratories verifying paper and board meet safety requirements for food packaging and food-contact articles.
- Packaging manufacturers and converters: Routine quality control of incoming paper/board materials and finished packaging to monitor extractable aluminium.
- Regulatory bodies and auditors: Evaluation of material safety and conformity with national/EU food contact legislation.
- R&D and supplier qualification: Assess effects of coatings, additives or recycling streams on aluminium extractability.
