Overall migration testing – simulant A (10% EtOH), repeated use

This test is used to assess the overall migration of compounds from reusable plastic FCMs with food simulant A. 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. If you are unsure whether simulant A is appropriate for your material, don't hesitate to ask our experts for guidance.
