EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of EN 14234 testing. This technical standard specifies test methods for 'alternative tests' and 'substitute tests' performed with volatile test media, iso-octane and 95% aqueous ethanol by volume for the determination of general migration from polymeric coatings on paper and board.
The standard outlines its scope and purpose by stating that it applies to materials and objects intended to come into contact with food. It highlights the importance of assessing overall migration from polymeric coatings on paper and board.
The standard provides guidance on selecting appropriate conditions in which to perform general pass testing. This includes considerations regarding the type of food or food simulant, contact time and temperature.
EN 14234 guides users in selecting relevant test methods for measuring overall migration. The choice of testing method may depend on the specific type of food or food simulant and materials being tested. The standard may reference other standards or methodologies for these tests.
The standard usually details specific testing conditions, including sample preparation, temperature, and contact time with food or food simulants. This information is critical to ensuring consistent and reproducible testing.
EN 14234 can provide guidance on how to interpret general pass test results, including limits or thresholds that should not be exceeded to ensure safety and compliance.
To ensure the safety and compatibility of food contact materials and objects, manufacturers generally follow the requirements specified in the standard when designing, manufacturing and testing polymeric coatings on paper and board. Users and purchasers of these materials can refer to the standard to ensure that the products they acquire meet the safety and quality standards specified for food contact materials.
