Paper and board intended to come into contact with foodstuffs - Conditions for determination of migration from paper and board using modified polyphenylene oxide (MPPO) as a simulant EN 14338:2003

Publication date:   Jun 11, 2004

Scope

This European Standard specifies a method to assess the transfer or migration of specific volatile and semivolatile substances from paper and board. This test method is developed for paper and board intended to come in contact with dry, non fatty foodstuffs and paper and board for baking purposes. In the last case the modified polyphenylenoxide (MPPO) can be seen as a substitute simulant for fatty contact.
NOTE MPPO can also be seen as a substitute simulant for olive oil.
