Food simulants A, B and C are assigned for foods that have a hydrophilic character and are able to extract hydrophilic substances. Food simulant B shall be used for those foods which have a pH below 4.5. Food simulant C shall be used for alcoholic foods with an alcohol content of up to 20 % and those foods which contain a relevant amount of organic ingredients that render the food more lipophilic.

Food simulants D1 and D2 are assigned for foods that have a lipophilic character and are able to extract lipophilic substances. Food simulant D1 shall be used for alcoholic foods with an alcohol content of above 20 % and for oil in water emulsions. Food simulant D2 shall be used for foods which contain free fats at the surface.

Food simulant E is assigned for testing specific migration into dry foods.

▼M7

3.    Specific assignment of food simulants to foods for migration testing of materials and articles not yet in contact with food

For testing migration from materials and articles not yet in contact with food the food simulants that corresponds to a certain food category shall be chosen according to Table 2 below.

For testing migration from materials and articles intended to come into contact with foods not listed in Table 2 below, or a combination of foods, the general food simulant assignments in point 2 shall be used for specific migration testing, and for overall migration testing the food simulant assignments in point 4 shall be applicable.

Table 2 contains the following information:

— 

Column 1 (Reference number): contains the reference number of the food category

— 

Column 2 (Description of food): contains a description of the foods covered by the food category

— 

Column 3 (Food simulants): contains sub-columns for each of the food simulants

The food simulant for which a cross is contained in the respective sub-column of column 3 shall be used when testing migration of materials and articles not yet in contact with food.

For food categories where in sub-column D2 or E the cross is followed by an oblique stroke and a figure, the migration test result shall be corrected by dividing the result by this figure. The corrected test result shall then be compared to the migration limit to establish compliance. The test results for substances that shall not migrate in detectable quantities shall not be corrected in this way.

For food category 01.04 food simulant D2 shall be replaced by 95 % ethanol.

For food categories where in sub-column B the cross is followed by (*) the testing in food simulant B can be omitted if the food has a pH of more than 4,5.

For food categories where in sub-column D2 the cross is followed by (**) the testing in food simulant D2 can be omitted if it can be demonstrated that there is no ‘fatty contact’ with the plastic food contact material.

ANNEX V

▼M19

COMPLIANCE TESTING

For testing compliance of migration from plastic food contact materials and articles, an analytical method in accordance with the requirements of Article 34 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council (11) shall be selected, applying the following specific performance criteria:

(i) 

The analytical method working range of analytical methods shall be at least RL × SML to RU × SML, as described in the relevant guidance documents, where

— 

RL is the relative lower method working range threshold,

— 

RU is the relative upper method working range threshold,

— 

RU shall be 2. RL shall be 0,2 unless 0,2 × SML is below the analytical limit of quantification (LOQ) of the substance then the RL × SML is set at the LOQ of the substance.

(ii) 

Prior to the verification of compliance with a SML, the specific migration test result, m, needs to be corrected, if relevant: (1) by the real surface-to-volume ratio ((S/V)real) and the surface-to-volume ratio (S/V)test in accordance with Article 17; and/or (2) by the correction factor (CT2) used in the sub-columns for the food simulants D2 and E in Table 2 of Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 10/2011; and/or (3) by the FRF in accordance with point 4.1 of this Annex. When the results are corrected in application of CT2 in combination with the FRF, in accordance with point 4.1 in Annex V, the combined correction factor shall not exceed 5, unless the correction factor laid down in Table 2 of Annex III exceeds 5.

(iii) 

The reproducibility coefficient of variation CVR, which can be expressed in percentage if multiplied by 100, is used to calculate the relative standard measurement uncertainty with the purpose to evaluate compliance. The formulas for calculating the CVR are as follows:

CVR = 0,22 for mc <0,12 × 10-6 kg /kg; and,

CVR = 2(1-½log(mc))/100 for 0,12 × 10-6 kg/kg ≤ mc ≤ 0,138 kg/kg.

Where mc is the specific migration test result of a substance or, if relevant, the corrected specific migration result that is to be evaluated against the SML set out in this Regulation, the standard measurement uncertainty of mc of a substance, u(mc ), shall be determined as follows: u(mc ) = CVR × mc .

(iv) 

The compliance with the SML shall then be evaluated by applying the following specific performance criterion, where mc is to be evaluated against the SML:

If (mc - SML)/[(u(mc )] > 1,64, then mc exceeds the SML.

If mc is higher than the SML the mc of a substance shall be considered non-compliant. In addition, the rules in Chapter 1-4 of this Annex shall apply.

▼B

CHAPTER 1

Testing for specific migration of materials and articles already in contact with food

1.1.   Sample preparation

The material or article shall be stored as indicated on the packaging label or under conditions adequate for the packaged food if no instructions are given. The food shall be removed from contact with the material or article before its expiration date or any date by which the manufacturer has indicated the product should be used for reasons of quality or safety.

1.2.   Conditions of testing

The food shall be treated in accordance with the cooking instructions on the package if the food is to be cooked in the package. Parts of the food which are not intended to be eaten shall be removed and discarded. The remainder shall be homogenised and analysed for migration. The analytical results shall always be expressed on the basis of the food mass that is intended to be eaten, in contact with the food contact material.

1.3.   Analysis of migrated substances

The specific migration is analysed in the food using an analytical method in accordance with the requirements of Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.

▼M7

1.4.    Account of substances originating from other sources

In case there is evidence linked to the food sample that a substance partially or wholly originates from a source or sources other than the material or article for which the test is being carried out, the test results shall be corrected for the amount of that substance originating from the other source or sources before comparing the test results to the applicable specific migration limit.

▼B

CHAPTER 2

Testing for specific migration of materials and articles not yet in contact with food

2.1.   Verification method

Verification of compliance of migration into foods with the migration limits shall be carried out under the most extreme conditions of time and temperature foreseeable in actual use taking into account paragraphs 1.4, 2.1.1, 2.1.6 and 2.1.7.

Verification of compliance of migration into food simulants with the migration limits shall be carried out using conventional migration tests according to the rules set out in paragraphs 2.1.1 to 2.1.7.

2.1.1.   Sample preparation

The material or article shall be treated as described by accompanying instructions or by provisions given in the declaration of compliance.

Migration is determined on the material or article or, if this is impractical, on a specimen taken from the material or article, or a specimen representative of this material or article. For each food simulant or food type, a new test specimen is used. Only those parts of the sample which are intended to come into contact with foods in actual use shall be placed in contact with the food simulant or the food.

2.1.2.   Choice of food simulant

Materials and articles intended for contact with all types of food shall be tested with food simulant A, B and D2. However, if substances that may react with acidic food simulant or foods are not present testing in food simulant B can be omitted.

Materials and articles intended only for specific types of foods shall be tested with the food simulants indicated for the food types in Annex III.

2.1.3.   Conditions of contact when using food simulants

▼M7

The sample shall be placed in contact with the food simulant in a manner representing the worst of the foreseeable conditions of use as regard contact time in Table 1 and as regard contact temperature in Table 2.

By way of derogation to the conditions set out in Tables 1 and 2, the following rules apply:

(i) 

If it is found that carrying out the tests under the combination of contact conditions specified in Tables 1 and 2 causes physical or other changes in the test specimen which do not occur under worst foreseeable conditions of use of the material or article under examination, the migration tests shall be carried out under the worst foreseeable conditions of use in which these physical or other changes do not take place;

(ii) 

if the material or article during it intended use is subjected only to precisely controlled time and temperature conditions in food processing equipment, either as part of food packaging or as part of the processing equipment itself, testing may be done using the worst foreseeable contact conditions that can occur during the processing of the food in that equipment;

(iii) 

if the material or article is intended to be employed only for hot-fill conditions, only a 2-hour test at 70 °C shall be carried out. However, if the material or article is intended to be used also for storage at room temperature or below, the test conditions set out in Tables 1 and 2 of this Section or in Section 2.1.4 of this Chapter apply depending on the duration of storage.

▼M15

(iv) 

if the plastic material or article intended to come into contact with food of which the compliance must be verified becomes in its final application part of a food processing equipment or an appliance, or a part thereof, the migration tests may be carried out by determining the specific migration into the food or food simulant produced or processed by the whole equipment or appliance, or the part thereof, as appropriate, subject to the following conditions:

— 

the food or food simulant is processed during testing by the equipment or part thereof in accordance with the worst foreseeable conditions that can be achieved if the equipment or its part is operated in accordance with its operating instructions, and

— 

the migration from parts used for storage such as from reservoirs, containers, or capsules or pads which are part of the equipment during the processing of the food, is determined using conditions representative for their use, unless the applied testing conditions for the whole tested equipment or appliance are representative also of their use.

When migration testing is done under the above conditions, and the transfer of constituents from the equipment or appliance as a whole does not exceed the migration limits, the plastic parts or materials present in the equipment or appliance shall be considered to comply with Article 11(1).

The testing of the parts used for storage or supply such as reservoirs, containers, capsules or pads shall be under conditions representative of their use, and shall include the foreseeable storage conditions of the food in these parts.

The supporting documentation referred to in Article 16 shall clearly document the testing on the whole food processing and/or food producing equipment or appliance, or on parts thereof. It shall demonstrate that the testing was representative of its foreseeable use, and shall indicate for which substances migration testing was carried out and provide all testing results. The manufacturer of individual plastic parts shall ensure the absence of migration for substances for which the Regulation specifies that their migration shall not be detectable at a specified level of detection in accordance with Article 11(4).

Compliance documentation supplied in accordance with the Regulation to the producer of the final equipment or appliance, or part thereof, shall list all substances subject to migration limits that might be exceeded under the foreseeable use of the supplied part or material.

When the result is not in compliance with the Regulation it shall be determined whether the source of the non-compliance is a plastic part subject to the Regulation or a part made from another material not subject to the Regulation on the basis of documentary evidence or analytical testing. Without prejudice to Article 3 of Regulation (EU) No 1935/2004, non-compliance to the Regulation shall only be established if the migration originates from a plastic part.

▼M7

If the testing conditions representative for the worst foreseeable conditions of intended use of the material or article, are not technically feasible in food simulant D2, migration tests shall be done using ethanol 95 % and isooctane. In addition a migration test shall be done using food simulant E if the temperature under the worst foreseeable conditions of intended use exceeds 100 °C. The test that results in the highest specific migration shall be used to establish compliance with this Regulation.

(*1)   ; This temperature shall be used only for food simulants D2 and E. For applications heated under pressure, migration testing under pressure at the relevant temperature may be performed. For food simulants A, B, C or D1 the test may be replaced by a test at 100 °C or at reflux temperature for duration of four times the time selected according to the conditions in Table 1.

2.1.4.    Specific conditions for contact times above 30 days at room temperature and below

For contact times above 30 days (long term) at room temperature and below, the specimen shall be tested in accelerated test conditions at elevated temperature for a maximum of 10 days at 60 °C (12).

(a) 

Testing for 10 days at 20 °C shall cover all storage times at frozen condition. This test can include the freezing and defrosting processes if labelling or other instructions ensure that 20 °C is not exceeded and the total time above – 15 °C does not exceed 1 day in total during the foreseeable intended use of the material or article.

(b) 

Testing for 10 days at 40 °C shall cover all storage times at refrigerated and frozen conditions including hot-fill conditions and/or heating up to 70 °C ≤ T ≤ 100 °C for maximum t = 120/2^((T-70)/10) minutes.

(c) 

Testing for 10 days at 50 °C shall cover all storage times of up to 6 months at room temperature, including hot-fill conditions and/or heating up to 70 °C ≤ T ≤ 100 °C for maximum t = 120/2^((T-70)/10) minutes.

(d) 

Testing for 10 days at 60 °C shall cover storage above 6 months at room temperature and below, including hot-fill conditions and/or heating up to 70 °C ≤ T ≤ 100 °C for maximum t = 120/2^((T-70)/10) minutes.

(e) 

For storage at room temperature the testing conditions can be reduced to 10 days at 40 °C if it is shown by scientific evidence that migration of the respective substance in the polymer has reached equilibration under this test condition.

(f) 

For worst foreseeable conditions of intended use not covered by the test conditions set out in points (a) to (e), the testing time and temperature conditions shall be based on the following formula:

t2 = t1 * Exp (9627 * (1/T2 – 1/T1))

t1 is the contact time

t2 is the testing time

T1 is the contact temperature in Kelvin. For room temperature storage this is set at 298K (25 °C). For refrigerated conditions it is set at 278K (5 °C). For frozen storage it is set at 258 K (– 15 °C).

T2 is the testing temperature in Kelvin.

▼B

2.1.5.   Specific conditions for combinations of contact times and temperature

▼M7

If a material or article is intended for different applications covering different combinations of contact time and temperature the testing shall be restricted to the test conditions which are recognised to be the most severe on the basis of scientific evidence.

▼B

If the material or article is intended for a food contact application where it is successively subject to a combination of two or more times and temperatures, the migration test shall be carried out subjecting the test specimen successively to all the applicable worst foreseeable conditions appropriate to the sample, using the same portion of food simulant.

▼M15

2.1.6.    Repeated use materials and articles

▼M19

If the material or article is intended to come into repeated contact with foods, the migration test shall be carried out three times on a single sample using another portion of food simulant on each occasion. Compliance of the material or article shall then be verified on the basis of the level of the specific migration observed in the third migration test and on the basis of the stability of the material or article. The specific migration observed in the second migration test shall not exceed the level observed in the first test, and the specific migration in the third test shall not exceed the level observed in the second test.

For the purpose of the first paragraph, the sample shall be considered non-compliant if:

mc, 3 >SML, or,

mc, 1 < mc, 2, or,

mc, 2 < mc, 3, or,

mc, 1 < mc, 3,

where mc, 1, mc, 2, and mc, 3 are respectively the mc during the first, the second and the third migration test carried out in accordance with the first subparagraph.

The compliance with the SML and the stability rule shall be evaluated applying the following criteria:

— 

If (mc, 3 – SML)/[(u(mc, 3)] > 1,64, then the third migration is higher than the SML,

— 

If (mc, 2 – mc, 1)/[(u(mc, 2) + u(mc, 1)] > 1,64, then the first migration is smaller than the second migration,

— 

If (mc,3 – mc, 2)/[(u(mc, 3) + u(mc, 2)] > 1,64, then the second migration is smaller than the third migration,

— 

If (mc, 3 – mc, 1)/[(u(mc, 3) + u(mc, 1)] > 1,64, the first migration is smaller than the third migration.

In case mc is smaller than RL × SML, the mc shall be considered equal to RL × SML. This mc shall be used for determining the corresponding standard measurement uncertainty of the mc and for evaluating the compliance with the performance criteria set out in this point.

However, if there is scientific proof that the level of the specific migration is not increasing as described in the second paragraph above in the course of the second and third migration tests and if the SML is not exceeded during the first migration test, the material or article is considered compliant with the SML laid down in this Regulation.

Irrespective of the above rules, a material or article shall never be considered to comply with this Regulation where in any of the migration tests a substance that is prohibited from migrating or from being released in detectable quantities under Article 11(4) of this Regulation is detected.

▼B

2.1.7.   Analysis of migrating substances

▼M19

At the end of the prescribed contact time, the specific migration is analysed in the food or food simulant using an analytical method in accordance with the applicable performance criteria laid down in this Annex.

▼B

2.1.8.   Verification of compliance by residual content per food contact surface area (QMA)

For substances which are unstable in food simulant or food or for which no adequate analytical method is available it is indicated in Annex I that verification of compliance shall be undertaken by verification of residual content per 6 dm2 of contact surface. For materials and articles between 500 ml and 10 l the real contact surface is applied. For materials and articles below 500 ml and above 10 l as well as for articles for which it is impractical to calculate the real contact surface the contact surface is assumed to be 6 dm2 per kg food.

2.2.   Screening approaches

▼M7

To screen if a material or article complies with the migration limits any of the following approaches can be applied which are considered at least as severe as the verification method described in section 2.1.

▼B

2.2.1.   Replacing specific migration by overall migration

To screen for specific migration of non-volatile substances, determination of overall migration under test conditions at least as severe as for specific migration can be applied.

2.2.2.   Residual content

To screen for specific migration the migration potential can be calculated based on the residual content of the substance in the material or article assuming complete migration.

▼M7

2.2.3.    Migration modelling

To screen for specific migration, the migration potential can be calculated based on the residual content of the substance in the material or article applying generally recognised diffusion models based on scientific evidence that are constructed in a way that must never underestimate real levels of migration.

2.2.4.    Food simulant substitutes

To screen for specific migration, food simulants can be replaced by substitute food simulants if it is based on scientific evidence that the substitute food simulants result in migration that is at least as severe as migration that would be obtained using the food simulants specified in Section 2.1.2.

▼M7

2.2.5.    Single test for successive combinations of time and temperature

If the material or article is intended for a food contact application where it is successively subject to two or more time and temperature combinations, a single migration contact test time can be defined based on the highest contact test temperature from Section 2.1.3 and/or 2.1.4 by using the equation as described in point (f) of Section 2.1.4. The reasoning justifying that the resulting single test is at least as severe as the combined time and temperature combinations shall be documented in the supporting documentation provided for in Article 16.

▼B

CHAPTER 3

Testing for overall migration

Overall migration testing shall be performed under the standardised testing conditions set out in this chapter.

3.1.   Standardised testing conditions

The overall migration test for materials and articles intended for the food contact conditions described in column 3 of Table 3 shall be performed for the time specified and at the temperature specified in column 2. For test OM5 the test can be performed either for 2 hours at 100 °C (food simulant D2) or at reflux (food simulant A, B, C, D1) or for 1 hour at 121 °C. The food simulant shall be chosen in accordance with Annex III.

If it is found that carrying out the tests under the contact conditions specified in Table 3 causes physical or other changes in the test specimen which do not occur under worst foreseeable conditions of use of the material or article under examination, the migration tests shall be carried out under the worst foreseeable conditions of use in which these physical or other changes do not take place.

▼M15

Table 3

Standardised conditions for testing the overall migration

Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
Test number Contact time in days [d] or hours [h] at Contact temperature in [°C] for testing Intended food contact conditions
OM0 30 min at 40 °C Any food contact at cold or ambient temperatures and for a short duration (≤ 30 minutes).
OM1 10 d at 20 °C Any food contact at frozen and refrigerated conditions
OM2 10 d at 40 °C Any long-term storage at room temperature or below, including when packaged under hot-fill conditions, and/or heating up to a temperature T where 70 °C ≤ T ≤ 100 °C for a maximum of t = 120/2^((T-70)/10) minutes.
OM3 2 h at 70 °C Any food contact conditions that include hot-fill and/or heating up to a temperature T where 70 °C ≤ T ≤ 100 °C for maximum of t = 120/2^((T-70)/10) minutes, which are not followed by long-term room temperature or refrigerated storage.
OM4 1 h at 100 °C or at reflux High temperature applications for all types of food at temperature up to 100 °C.
OM5 2 h at 100 °C or at reflux or alternatively 1 h at 121 °C High temperature applications up to 121 °C.
OM6 4 h at 100 °C or at reflux Any food contact conditions at a temperature exceeding 40 °C, and with foods for which point 4 of Annex III assigns simulants A, B, C or D1.
OM7 2 h at 175 °C High temperature applications with fatty foods exceeding the conditions of OM5.

Test OM 7 covers also food contact conditions described for OM0, OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, OM5. It represents the worst case conditions for fatty food simulants in contact with non-polyolefins. In case it is technically not feasible to perform OM 7 with food simulant D2 the test can be replaced as set out in paragraph 3.2.

Test OM 6 covers also food contact conditions described for OM0, OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4 and OM5. It represents worst case conditions for food simulants A, B and C in contact with non-polyolefins.

Test OM 5 covers also food contact conditions described for OM0, OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4. It represents the worst case conditions for all food simulants in contact with polyolefins.

Test OM 2 covers also food contact conditions described for OM0, OM1 and OM3.

▼M7

3.2.    Substitute overall migration tests for tests with food simulant D2

▼M15

If it is not technically feasible to perform one or more of the tests OM0 to OM6 in food simulant D2, migration tests shall be done using ethanol 95 % and isooctane. In addition a test shall be done using food simulant E in case the worst foreseeable conditions of use exceed 100 °C. The test that results in the highest overall migration shall be used to establish compliance with the Regulation.

In case it is technically not feasible to perform OM7 with food simulant D2, either test OM8 or test OM9 shall be selected as a replacement test by selecting the most appropriate of these two tests on the basis of the intended and the foreseeable use of the material or article that is being tested. Subsequently, a migration test shall be done at each of the two test conditions specified for the selected test, using a new test sample for each test condition. The test condition that results in the higher overall migration shall be used to establish compliance with the Regulation.

▼M7

Test number Test conditions Intended food contact conditions Covers the intended food contact conditions described in
OM8 Food simulant E for 2 hours at 175 °C and food simulant D2 for 2 hours at 100 °C High temperature applications only OM1, OM3, OM4, OM5 and OM6
OM9 Food simulant E for 2 hours at 175 °C and food simulant D2 for 10 days at 40 °C High temperature applications including long term storage at room temperature OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, OM5 and OM6

3.3.    Verification of compliance

3.3.1.    Single use articles and materials

At the end of the prescribed contact time, to verify compliance the overall migration is analysed in the food simulant using an analytical method in accordance with the requirements of Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.

▼M15

3.3.2.    Repeated use articles and materials

▼M19

The applicable overall migration test shall be carried out three times on a single sample using a different portion of food simulant on each occasion. The migration shall be determined using an analytical method in accordance with the requirements of Article 34 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625. Compliance with the overall migration limit shall be verified on the basis of the level of the overall migration found during the third test and on the basis of the stability of the material or article i.e. the overall migration during the second test shall not exceed the level observed in the first test, and the overall migration in the course of the third test shall not exceed the level observed during the second test. The compliance shall be evaluated in accordance with the specific performance criteria described in point 2.1.6 in Chapter 2 of Annex V. However, the standard measurement uncertainty of the analytical method as determined by the laboratory shall be used to determine u(m), instead of the standard measurement uncertainty derived on the basis of the approach as specified in the introductory part on compliance testing preceding Chapter 1.

If it is not technically feasible to test the same sample three times, such as when testing in vegetable oil, the overall migration test can be carried out by testing different samples for three different periods of time lasting one, two and three times the applicable contact test time. The first migration, the difference between the second and the first migration and the difference between the third and the second migration shall be considered to represent the three successive overall migrations.

However, if there is scientific proof that the level of the migration, as described in point 2.1.6 in Chapter 2 of Annex V, is not increasing during the second and third migration tests and if the migration limit is not exceeded in the course of the first migration test, the material or article is considered compliant with the overall migration limit.

▼B

3.4.   Screening approaches

▼M7

To screen if a material or article complies with the migration limits, any of the following approaches can be applied which are considered at least as severe as the verification method described in Sections 3.1 and 3.2.

▼B

3.4.1.   Residual content

To screen for overall migration the migration potential can be calculated based on the residual content of migratable substances determined in a complete extraction of the material or article.

▼M7

3.4.2.    Food simulant substitutes

To screen for overall migration, food simulants can be replaced if based on scientific evidence the substitute food simulants result in migration that is at least as severe as migration that would be obtained using the food simulants specified in Annex III.

▼B

CHAPTER 4

Correction factors applied when comparing migration test results with migration limits

4.1.   Correction of specific migration in foods containing more than 20 % fat by the Fat Reduction Factor (FRF)

For lipophilic substances for which in Annex I it is indicated in column 7 that the FRF is applicable the specific migration can be corrected by the FRF. The FRF is determined according to the formula FRF = (g fat in food/kg of food)/200 = (% fat × 5)/100.

The FRF shall be applied according to the following rules.

The migration test results shall be divided by the FRF before comparing with the migration limits.

The correction by the FRF is not applicable in the following cases:

(a)
