EU 10/2011 Migration Testing for Bisphenol A
The European Union Directive 10/2011 sets stringent requirements to ensure the safety of materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. This directive is particularly relevant for packaging used in the food industry, as it aims to eliminate harmful substances like Bisphenol A (BPA) from migrating into food products during storage or use.
Bisphenol A has been a topic of concern due to its potential endocrine-disrupting properties, which have raised health and safety concerns. The European legislation restricts the level of BPA that can migrate into foodstuffs to ensure consumer protection. This testing is mandatory for any packaging or containers intended for use with food products.
The methodology involves simulating real-world conditions under which the packaging is expected to be used, ensuring accurate results that reflect actual performance. The test parameters include temperature, time duration, and the type of foodstuffs that will come into contact with the packaging. These factors are crucial in assessing the potential for BPA migration.
