Overall migration testing – simulant B (3% acetic acid), repeated use
Overall migration (OM) is the sum of all the non-volatile compounds that migrate from the food contact material into the food.
According to Regulation (EU) No 10/2011, food simulants A, B, and C are assigned for foods with a hydrophilic character and the ability to extract hydrophilic substances. Food simulant B (3% acetic acid) shall be used for foods that have a pH below 4.5.
In order to comply with Regulation (EU) No 10/2011, the overall migration must not exceed 10 mg/dm2 (or 60 mg/kg).
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.
