In the present work, the release from 15 samples of crystalware was investigated with respect to migration of metals in different conditions from different samples. Three test regimes were compared. The first one, currently in use for ceramic, foresees the use of acetic acid 4% as simulant and t...
This report presents the results of the EU Interlaboratory comparison (ILC) of the EURL-FCM towards validation criteria for the using the new simulant for specific migration into dry foods, poly(2,6-diphenyl phenylene oxide), PPPO. Regulation EU 10/2011 has established PPPO as new simulant for t...
In the present work, the release of metals from 14 samples (9 industrial samples, 2 ad-hoc manufactured ceramic cups and 3 ad-hoc manufactured glasses) was investigated in order to provide underpinning data on migration of metals under different conditions from different samples. The rim area wa...
This report presents the results of the 2013 follow up of the EURL-FCM 2012 ILC formaldehyde and melamine in food contact migration solution. In the 2012, out of the 62 laboratories who submitted results, 23 laboratories (ca. 37%) had results that showed some discrepancies affecting the analysis...
This report presents the results of the EU Interlaboratory comparison (ILC) of the EURL-FCM, which were obtained in the identification and the quantification of unknown substances in the food simulant E. Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 establishes poly(2,6-diphenyl-p-phenylene oxide) (e.g. Tenax®) as...
This report presents the results of the ILC of the EURL-FCM, which focused on the quantification of Primary Aromatic Amines (PAAs) in migration solutions of 3% acetic acid from food contact materials. In particular the exercise was focused on the determination of the aniline, 4,4 MDA, 2,4 TDA an...
This report presents the results of two proficiency tests (PT) organized by the EURL-FCM, which focused on the determination of elements migrated from food contact materials .Two exercises of Interlaboratory Comparisons (ILC) were conducted. One to determine the concentrations of the metals with...
This report presents the results of the Inter-laboratory comparison (ILC) organised by the EURL-FCM, Ispra (Italy), which focused on the quantification of formaldehyde and melamine in migration solutions of 3% acetic acid from food contact materials. The test materials used for preparation of th...
Precision criteria for the quantification of metals in acetic acid 3% and acetic acid 4% migration solutions for different analytical techniques were calculated and are presented in this report. They were derived from two interlaboratory comparisons (ILC03/04 2014) data, including repeatability ...
Between March 2003 and September 2006 the FOODMIGROSURE project, contract number QLK-CT2002-2390, was carried out by 9 European project partners with the intention to develop an ‘into-food’ migration model tool which should enable prediction of mass transfer of constituents from plastics food co...
