Specific migration testing – ammonium ion and elements of Annex II in Commission Regulation (EU) 2020/1245

Specific migration of elements listed in Annex II of Commission Regulation (EU) 2020/1245 of 2 September 2020 amending and correcting Regulation (EU) No 10/2011. The test covers the following elements:

• Lithium (Li)

• Sodium (Na)

• Magnesium (Mg)

• Aluminum (Al)

• Potassium (K)

• Calcium (Ca)

• Chromium (Cr)

• Manganese (Mn)

• Iron (Fe)

• Cobalt (Co)

• Nickel (Ni)

• Copper (Cu)

• Zinc (Zn)

• Arsenic (As)

• Cadmium (Cd)

• Antimony (Sb)

• Barium (Ba)

• Lanthanum (La)

• Europium (Eu)

• Gadolinium (Gd)

• Terbium (Tb)

• Mercury (Hg)

• Lead (Pb)

• Sum of lanthanide – Eu, Gd, La, Tb

In addition, the test includes specific migration testing of ammonium ion which is performed separately from elemental migration analysis.
