This European Standard specifies test methods for 'substitute tests' performed with volatile test media, iso-octaneand 95 % v/v aqueous ethanol, for the determination of overall migration from plastics intended to come intocontact with fatty foodstuffs at all temperatures and for any period of time.These test methods are suitable for plastics samples in a wide variety of forms.NOTE 1The iso-octane and 95 % v/v aqueous ethanol volatile test media used in these test methods are those specified for'substitute tests' in Commission Directive 82/711/EEC [3] and its subsequent amendments [4], [5]. In addition to the use of iso-octane and 95 % v/v aqueous ethanol as test media for 'substitute tests', Commission Directive 82/711/EEC and its subsequentamendments specifies the use of modified polyphenylene oxide as a test medium for use at temperatures of 100 C and above.For a test method for overall migration from plastics intended to come into contact with fatty foodstuffs using modifiedpolyphenylene oxide as a test medium, see EN 1186-13.NOTE 2These test methods can also be used for the 'alternative tests' described in Council Directive 82/711/EEC and itssubsequent amendments, when the chosen volatile test media are iso-octane and 95 % aqueous ethanol, provided equivalenceis shown with olive oil, see EN 1186-1:2002.
