Bisphenol S content

Determination of bisphenol S content in various matrices, including:

• Consumer goods made from plastic, elastomers, and rubber

• Food packaging (plastic, paper, multi-materials)

Testing is recommended especially for paper and board food packaging that contains recycled fibers and comes into contact with moist and fatty foods. To be compliant with German BfR Recommendation XXXVI, such packaging must not release bisphenol S into food in amounts exceeding 0.05 mg/kg.

Extraction is possible with various techniques, including:

• Solvent extraction

• Cold water extract (EN 645)

• Hot water extract (EN 647)

• Solvent extract (EN 15519)
