Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Plastics - Polymeric additives - Test method for the determination of the mass fraction of a polymeric additive that lies below 1000 Daltons CEN/TS 14577:2003

Scope

This Technical Specification specifies a test method to determine the mass fraction of a polymeric additive that falls below a MW of 1000. The method is applicable to polymeric additives per se - i.e. supplied in their usable form, before formulation into a plastic. The method is also applicable to polymeric additives extracted from finished plastic materials and articles, provided that precautions are taken to ensure the absence of any interference from any other co-extractives derived from the plastic.
