EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 1186-14 testing. This European standard describes test methods for 'substitution tests' with a volatile test medium, iso-octane and 95% v/v aqueous ethanol to determine the overall migration from plastics intended to come into contact with oily foodstuffs at all temperatures.
The standard also provides guidelines for the selection of similar based on the particular type of food and packaging conditions.
EN 1186-14 outlines ethanol migration testing procedures used to evaluate the transition of substances from plastic materials to fatty foodstuffs. The test involves contacting the plastic material with ethanol, incubating it under certain conditions, and analyzing the ethanol for any transported material.
Compliance with EN 1186-14 is required for plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs sold within the European Union. The standard helps protect consumer health and safety by ensuring that food packaging materials do not transfer any harmful substances to the food product.
