Test package for single-use nitrile gloves to assess food contact compliance (for all foodstuffs) according to Germany's BfR XX1/1 "Commodities based on natural and synthetic rubber in contact with food" (as of 01.09.2024) and Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004.

The test package covers selected general requirements for nitrile rubber. Analysis to determine the specific migration of nitrile rubber monomers (i.e., acrylonitrile and 1,3-butadiene) is also included. The substances have specific migration reference (SMR) values defined in Table 1 of BfR XXI.

The table below lists the covered parameters, test methods, and compliance requirements:

Test parameter	Simulant(s)	Test method	Requirement
Overall migration	10% ethanol, 3% acetic acid, olive oil	EN 1186-1, -2, -3	≤ 10 mg/dm2
Sensory analysis	Water	DIN 10955	No transfer of taste or odor
Total transfer of zinc	3% acetic acid	In-house ICP-MS	≤ 25 mg/kg of food
Total transfer of aluminum	3% acetic acid	In-house ICP-MS	≤ 1 mg/kg of food
Total transfer of lead	3% acetic acid	In-house ICP-MS	≤ 0.01 mg/kg of food
Extractable primary aromatic amines	3% acetic acid	In-house LC-MS/MS	≤ 0.002 mg/l of extract (per substance)
Total transfer of formaldehyde	3% acetic acid	In-house method	≤ 6 mg/kg of food
Specific migration of butadiene	olive oil	In-house GC-MS/FID	≤ 0.01 mg/kg of food
Specific migration of acrylonitrile	10% ethanol, 3% acetic acid, olive oil	In-house GC-MS/FID	≤ 0.01 mg/kg of food
