SSH Standard EN 1186-2:2022 “Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Plastics - Part 2: Test methods for overall migration into vegetable oils”

This standard specifies methods for the general measurement of plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs by contacting test specimens with vegetable oils at temperatures greater than or equal to 4 °C and up to 175 °C. NOTE Some vegetable oils are not suitable for use below 20 °C. The general migration from a plastic sample is defined as the mass loss of non-volatile substances expressed: - per unit area, or - per kg of food simulant, or - per article; after contact with a food simulant under specified conditions. Depending on the type of materials or articles, contact with the food simulant is carried out on a single surface (bag, cell, filling) or by immersion. This document does not cover the interpretation of the results which is expected to take into account regulatory requirements.
