PART 2Supplementary

1.  In regulation 4 and Part 1 of this Schedule—

(a)the PM/REF number. of any substance is its EEC packaging material reference number;

(b)the CAS number of any substance is its CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service) Registry Number;

(c)the name of any substance is its chemical name, and to the extent that there is any inconsistency between the CAS number and the name, the name shall take precedence over the CAS number; and

(d)references to specific migration are to be taken to mean specific migration as measured in accordance with Schedules 5 and 6.

2.  If a substance appearing in Part 1 of this Schedule as an individual compound also falls within a generic term which appears therein, any restriction applying to that substance shall be that indicated for the individual compound and the entry applying to the generic term shall be treated as varied to such extent as is necessary.

3.—(1) The items identified in Part 1 of this Schedule shall be taken to include—

(a)substances undergoing polymerisation (including polycondensation, polyaddition or any other similar process) to manufacture macromolecules;

(b)natural or synthetic macromolecular substances used in the manufacture of modified macromolecules, if the monomers required to synthesise them are not so identified; and

(c)substances used to modify existing natural or synthetic macromolecular substances.

(2) If a substance identified in Part 1 of this Schedule is an acid, a phenol or an alcohol and has salts (including double salts) of one or more of the following names (that is to say salts of aluminium, ammonium, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium or zinc) then any such salts shall be treated as included in the specification of that substance.

(3) If, as indicated in paragraph 2 of Annex II to the Directive, a substance is identified in Part 1 of this Schedule as an “… acid, salt” and has salts of one or more of the following names (that is to say salts of aluminium, ammonium, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium or zinc), then the free acid corresponding to that substance is not treated as included in the specification of that substance.

4.  Where an entry in column 4 of Part 1 of this Schedule (restrictions and specifications) includes a bracketed number, that entry shall be subject to a note relating to that number as follows, the following bracketed numbers corresponding with those appearing in that Part —

(1): Warning: there is a risk that the specific migration limit could be exceeded in fatty food simulants.

(21): SML(T) in this case means that the restriction shall not be exceeded by the sum of the migration levels of the substances having PM/REF Nos. 17260, 18670, 54880 and 59280].

(22): SML(T) in this case means that the restriction shall not be exceeded by the sum of the migration levels of the substances having PM/REF/Nos. 13620, 36840, 40320 and 87040.

(23): SML(T) in this case means that the restriction shall not be exceeded by the sum of the migration levels of the substances having PM/REF/Nos. 13720 and 40580.

(24): SML(T) in this case means that the restriction shall not be exceeded by the sum of the migration levels of the substances having PM/REF/Nos. 16650 and 51570.

(25): QM(T) in this case means that the restriction shall not be exceeded by the sum of the residual quantities of the substances having PM/REF/Nos. 14950, 15700, 16240, 16570, 16600, 16630, 18640, 19110, 22332, 22420, 22570, 25210, 25240 and 25270.

(27): QMA(T) in this case means that the restriction shall not be exceeded by the sum of the residual quantities of the following substances having PM/REF Nos. 10599/90A, 10599/91, 10599/92A and 10599/93.

(28): SML(T) in this case means that the restriction shall not be exceeded by the sum of the migration levels of the following substances having PM/REF Nos. 13480 and 39680.

(29): SML(T) in this case means that the restriction shall not be exceeded by the sum of the migration levels of the following substances having PM/REF Nos. 22775 and 69920.

(32): Compliance testing when there is a fat contact should be performed using isooctane as substitute of simulant D (unstable).

(33): QMA(T) in this case means that the restriction shall not be exceeded by the sum of the residual quantities of the following substances having PM/REF Nos. 14800 and 45600.
