Overall migration testing – simulant A (10% ethanol), repeated use
Overall migration (OM) is the sum of all the compounds that might migrate from a food contact material into food.
According to Regulation (EU) No 10/2011, food simulants A, B, and C are assigned for foods that have a hydrophilic character and can extract hydrophilic substances.
The test is intended for repeat-use articles and materials, and thus is repeated three times for the same article/sample. The compliance is evaluated from the 3rd migration.
