Column 7 (FRF applicable (yes/no)): an indication if for the substance the migration results can be corrected by the Fat Consumption Reduction Factor (FRF) (yes) or if they cannot be corrected by the FRF (no).

F1Column 8 (SML [mg/kg]): the specific migration limit applicable for the substance. It is expressed in mg substance per kg food. It is marked as ND (not-detectable) if the substance is one in respect of which no migration is permitted, to be determined in accordance with Article 11(4).

Column 9 (SML(T) [mg/kg] (group restriction No)): contains the identification number of the group of substances for which the group restriction in Column 1 in Table 2 of this Annex applies.

Column 10 (Restrictions and specifications): contains other restrictions than the specific migration limit specifically mentioned and it contains specifications related to the substance. In case detailed specifications are set out a reference to Table 4 is included.

Column 11 (Notes on verification of compliance): contains the Notes number which refers to the detailed rules applicable for verification of compliance for this substance included in Column 1 in Table 3 of this Annex.

If a substance appearing on the list as an individual compound is also covered by a generic term, the restrictions applying to this substance shall be those indicated for the individual compound.

3.Notes on verification of compliance

Table 3 on notes on verification of compliance contains the following information:

Column 1 (Note No): contains the identification number of the Note. It is the number referred to in Column 11 in Table 1 of this Annex.

Column 2 (Notes on verification of compliance): contains rules that shall be respected when testing for compliance of the substance with specific migration limits or other restrictions or it contains remarks on situations where there is a risk of non-compliance.

Table 3

(1)

(2)

Note No

Notes on verification of compliance

(1)

Verification of compliance by residual content per food contact surface area (QMA) pending the availability of an analytical method.

(2)

There is a risk that the SML or OML could be exceeded in fatty food simulants.

(3)

There is a risk that the migration of the substance deteriorates the organoleptic characteristics of the food in contact and then, that the final product does not comply with Article 3(1) c of the Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004.

F9(4)

Compliance testing when there is a fat contact F1shall be performed using saturated fatty food simulants as simulant D2.

(5)

Compliance testing when there is a fat contact F1shall be performed using isooctane as substitute of simulant D2 (unstable).

(6)

Migration limit might be exceeded at very high temperature.

(7)

If testing in food is performed, Annex V 1.4 shall be taken into account.

(8)

Verification of compliance by residual content per food contact surface area (QMA); QMA = 0,005 mg/6 dm2.

(9)

Verification of compliance by residual content per food contact surface area (QMA) pending the availability of analytical method for migration testing. The ratio surface to quantity of food shall be lower than 2dm2/kg.

(10)

Verification of compliance by residual content per food contact surface area (QMA) in case of reaction with food or simulant.

(11)

Only a method of analysis for the determination of the residual monomer in the treated filler is available.

(12)

There is a risk that the SML could be exceeded from polyolefins.

(13)

Only a method for determination of the content in polymer and a method for determination of the starting substances in food simulants are available.

(14)

There is a risk that the SML could be exceeded from plastics containing more than 0,5 % w/w of the substance.

(15)

There is a risk that the SML could be exceeded in contact with foods with high alcoholic content.

(16)

There is a risk that the SML could be exceeded from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) containing more than 0,3 % w/w of the substance when in contact with fatty foods

(17)

Only a method for determination of the residual content of the substance in the polymer is available

F13(18)

There is a risk that the SML could be exceeded from low-density polyethylene (LDPE)

(19)

There is a risk that the OML could be exceeded in direct contact with aqueous foods from ethylvinylalcohol (EVOH) and polyvinylalcohol (PVOH) copolymers

F14(20)

The substance contains aniline as an impurity; verification of compliance with the restriction set for primary aromatic amines in Annex II (2) is necessary

F4(21)

In case of reaction with foods or simulants verification of compliance shall include verification that the migration limits of the hydrolysis products, formaldehyde and 1,4-butanediol, are not exceeded.

F2(22)

When used in contact with non-alcoholic foods for which Table 2 of Annex III assigns food simulant D1, food simulant C shall be used for verification of compliance instead of food simulant D1.

(23)

When a final material or article containing this substance is placed on the market, a well described method to determine whether the oligomer migration complies with the restrictions specified in column 10 of Table 1 shall form part of the supporting documentation referred to in Article 16. This method shall be suitable for use by a competent authority to verify compliance. If an adequate method is publicly available, reference shall be made to that method. If the method requires a calibration sample, a sufficient sample shall be supplied to the competent authority on its request.

F15(24)

The substance or its hydrolysis products are authorised food additives and compliance with Article 11(3) shall be verified.

Definition

The copolymers are produced by the controlled fermentation of Alcaligenes eutrophus using mixtures of glucose and propanoic acid as carbon sources. The organism used has not been genetically engineered and has been derived from a single wildtype organism Alcaligenes eutrophus strain H16 NCIMB 10442. Master stocks of the organism are stored as freeze-dried ampoules. A submaster/working stock is prepared from the master stock and stored in liquid nitrogen and used to prepare inocula for the fermenter. Fermenter samples will be examined daily both microscopically and for any changes in colonial morphology on a variety of agars at different temperatures. The copolymers are isolated from heat treatment bacteria by controlled digestion of the other cellular components, washing and drying. These copolymers are normally offered as formulated, melt formed granules containing additives such as nucleating agents, plasticisers, fillers, stabilisers and pigments which all conform to the general and individual specifications
