Bisphenol AF content
Analysis of bisphenol AF (CAS 1478-61-1) content in packaging and food contact materials, such as plastics and rubber. In particular, bisphenol AF is used in some FKM rubbers as a curing agent. Analysis is conducted with LC-MS from solvent extraction of the sample. Upon request, analysis can also be converted into a migration test using food simulants.

EU import compliance support
Importing food contact materials (FCM) into the EU requires a valid Declaration of Compliance (DoC) and up-to-date test reports. Border and market surveillance authorities, such as Finnish Customs (Tulli) and the Finnish Food Authority (Ruokavirasto), frequently detain shipments if documentation is incomplete or test results are missing. Measurlabs provides end-to-end compliance support for FCM importers, covering the following areas: Documentation review and gap analysis: A technical audit of existing supplier documentation to identify gaps against current EU requirements, such as missing substances, outdated migration limits, or errors in the DoC., Test planning: Creation of an optimized test plan for the specific material and intended use, including selection of the correct food simulants and contact conditions. The aim is always to cover all applicable requirements with the minimum number of tests., ISO 17025 accredited testing: All required tests are available for a wide range of food contact materials. The following are examples of typically required analyses for common material types: Plastics: overall (OML) and specific migration (SML), phthalates, PAH, Paper and board: mineral oils (MOSH/MOAH), formaldehyde, heavy metals, Textiles: azo dyes, PFAS, phthalates, lead and cadmium, Silicone: volatile content, residual peroxides, cyclosiloxanes, Tests for other material types (rubber, metals, ceramics, glass, wood, etc.) are also available., Customs clearance support: Measurlabs acts as a local technical partner for shipments currently held at Finnish Customs, communicating with customs officials, fast-tracking laboratory analyses, and issuing compliant reports to support the release of the goods.. The displayed price includes one hour of expert consultation work in cases where products have been detained by Finnish Customs. Laboratory tests and any additional hours are billed separately after being agreed upon beforehand. In addition to FCMs, we offer import compliance support for toys, textiles, and other consumer products. Please contact us through the form below to discuss your compliance needs with our experts.
