Warning New European directive 10/2011/EU concerning plastics in contact with food products From the 1 st of July 2008, the European Directive 2007/19/CE enforces all state members of the E.U. into the restriction of the production or importation in the Union, of products for food contacts that could spread phtalates. The 2007/19/CE goes further than the previous 2002/72/CE, adding new formal requirements : Specific migration limits (SML) for phtalates Use of ethanol 50% as simulating liquid for migration tests of products to be in contact with milk and milky food Any hose for food contact shall then, from the 1 st of July 2008, fulfill the three following criteria : 1. Be made exclusively of substances present in the positive list of the Directive 2. Have a global migration lower than 10 mg/dm 2 of contact surface, tested with the following simulants of foodstuffs : Simulant A : Distilled water for aqueous food liquids and non alcoholic beverages Simulant B : Acetic acid 3 % for alcoholic beverages with less than 5% alcohol Simulant C : Ethanol 15 % for alcoholic beverages with minimum 5% alcohol Simulant D : Olive oil or its substitutes for fats and oils Simulant D(b) : Ethanol 50 % for milk products 3. Justify of a phtalate rate per kg of foodstuffs simulant, lower than : 9 mg/kg for DiNP and DiDP 1,5 mg/kg for DEHP (or DOP) PVC hose manufacturers and importers have now to demonstrate that their products respect the migration limits specified in point 3 (in addition with point 2) if their hoses content phtalates. This proof shall be establish with the simulating liquid relative to the application considered and measured on the hose : any certificate for the material is indeed insufficient as it only can confirm the compliance with point 1. The new European directive 10/2011/EU defines new testing protocols that will become obligatory by 1st January 2016. Until this date, the directive 10/2011/EU authorizes the protocols defined by the directive 2007/19/CE. 4
