EN 17684 VOC Analysis in Food Packaging
The European Standard EN 17684 sets stringent requirements for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in food packaging materials. This standard is crucial for ensuring that food products are protected from harmful substances, which can migrate into or onto the food during storage, transportation, and handling.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to EN 17684 guidelines when conducting VOC analysis. We employ advanced analytical techniques such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and headspace GC-MS for precise detection of volatile organic compounds at trace levels. This ensures that the migration into food products is within safe limits, thereby protecting consumer health.
The testing process involves multiple steps to ensure accuracy and reliability. Firstly, packaging samples are prepared according to EN 17684 specifications, ensuring they represent real-world conditions. Next, the samples undergo extraction using appropriate solvents, followed by analysis through GC-MS or similar instrumentation. The results provide detailed information about the types and concentrations of VOCs present.
The importance of this test cannot be overstated, especially in today's regulatory environment where consumer safety is paramount. By adhering to EN 17684, our clients can ensure their products meet stringent European standards, thus enhancing brand reputation and compliance with international regulations.
