Draft
This document specifies a test method for the determination of the specific migration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from paper, board and pulp into the food simulant isooctane. The amounts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are expressed in micrograms PAH per litre of solvent extract.
It is applicable for the determination of the 24 PAHs given in 6.3, Table 1. The test method is also applicable for the determination of further PAHs provided that a validation for every further analyte is carried out by the laboratory using this test method.
In general, this test method is applicable to the determination of PAHs in concentrations ranging from 2,5 µg/l to 100 µg/l for solvent extracts
