1. In the following table, which contains an exemplary list of food products, the
simulants to be used in the migration tests in correspondence with the food
product or food product group are indicated with the following abbreviations:
simulant A:
distilled water or water of equivalent quality;
simulant B:
3% (w / v) acetic acid in aqueous solution;
simulant C:
15% (v / v) ethanol in aqueous solution;
simulant D:
rectified olive oil; if for technical reasons connected with the method of analysis it is necessary to use
other simulants, the olive oil must be replaced by a mixture of synthetic triglycerides or sunflower oil.
Purity:
Monoglyceride content (determined via 0.2%
enzymes)
Diglyceride content (determined by 2.0%
enzymes)
Unsaponifiable substances 0.2%
Iodine number (Wijs) 0.1
%
Acidity 0.1%
Moisture content (K. Fischer) 0.1%
Fusion point 28 ±
2°C
2. for each food product or for each group of food products only the simulant or simulants
indicated with the sign X are used, using for each simulant a new sample of the materials and
articles in question. The absence of the X sign indicates that no proof of migration is required
for that item or sub-item.
3. When the sign "X" is followed by a slash and a number, divide the result of the
migration tests by that number. In the case of some types of fatty foods, this
conventional number, known as the 'reduction coefficient for simulant D (DRF)', is used
to take into account the simulant's higher extracting power than the food.
4. When the letter a appears in brackets next to the X sign, use only one of the two
simulants indicated:
- if the pH of the food product is higher than 4.5, use simulant A,
- if the pH of the food product is less than or equal to 4.5, use simulant B.
4 bis. If the letter "b" appears in brackets after the "X" sign, the test must be carried out with 50% (v / v)
ethanol
5. If the food is indicated in the list with both a specific entry and a general entry,
use only the simulant (s) foreseen under the specific entry.

______________________________
(*) This test is performed only if the pH is less than or equal to 4.5
(**) This test can be carried out in the case of liquids or beverages with an alcohol content greater
than 15% vol with ethanol in aqueous solution of similar concentration
(***) The test with simulant D can be omitted if it can be demonstrated, with an appropriate test, that
there is no "greasy contact" with the plastic material
