[F13.2. Substitute overall migration tests for tests with food simulant D2 U.K.
If it is not technically feasible to perform one or more of the tests OM1 to OM6 in food simulant D2, migration tests shall be done using ethanol 95 % and isooctane. In addition a test shall be done using food simulant E in case the worst foreseeable conditions of use exceed 100 °C. The test that results in the highest specific migration shall be used to establish compliance with this Regulation.
In case it is technically not feasible to perform OM7 with food simulant D2 the test can be replaced by either test OM8 or test OM9 as appropriate given the intended or foreseeable use. Both tests involve testing at two test conditions for which a new test sample shall be used for each test. The test condition that results in the highest overall migration shall be used to establish compliance with this Regulation.
| Test number | Test conditions | Intended food contact conditions | Covers the intended food contact conditions described in |
|---|---|---|---|
| OM8 | Food simulant E for 2 hours at 175 °C and food simulant D2 for 2 hours at 100 °C | High temperature applications only | OM1, OM3, OM4, OM5 and OM6 |
| OM9 | Food simulant E for 2 hours at 175 °C and food simulant D2 for 10 days at 40 °C | High temperature applications including long term storage at room temperature | OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, OM5 and OM6] |
