Specific migration testing – epoxy derivatives and bisphenols A, B, F, and S
Specific migration testing of epoxy derivatives used in the manufacturing of epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics.
EU legislation bans the use of some epoxy derivatives in food contact materials while imposing migration limits on others. Compliance can be evaluated using the following regulations as safety references:
Commission Regulation (EC) 1895/2005
Commission Regulation (EU) 10/2011
The test package includes the following substances:
