Specific migration testing – bisphenol A
Specific migration of 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, commonly known as bisphenol A or BPA, from a plastic sample or material intended for food contact.
Bisphenol A [CAS: 80-05-7] was previously listed under FCM No. 151 and Ref No. 13480/13607 in European Commission Regulation No 10/2011 with a specific migration limit (SML) value of 0.05 mg/kg of food.
Using BPA in food contact materials was recently banned by Commission Regulation (EU) 2024/3190, but materials compliant with the previous SML value can still be placed on the market until 20 July 2026 or 20 January 2028, depending on the material.
The starting price for this measurement covers testing in line with the previous SML value. The analysis can also be performed with a low detection limit method (1 μg/kg), as specified in the new regulation. Please contact us for a quote.
