Testing conditions for kitchenware articles in contact with foodstuffs: plastics metals, silicone & rubber, paper & board
The EURL-FCM harmonised approach series
The European Union Reference Laboratory for Food Contact Materials (EURL-FCM) and the National Reference Laboratories (NRLs) of the network have agreed on a set of test conditions, i.e. contact temperature and contact time, to ensure the comparability of measurement results reported in the frame of the implementation of official controls for FCM (Regulation (EU) 2017/625). These test conditions apply only for home use articles. These test conditions may be used as a starting point for establishing test conditions for articles for industrial use (e.g. food processing) where the applicable test conditions could be different.
The comprehensive tables included in this fourth edition of the kitchenware report replace the relevant sections in JRC's “Guidelines on testing conditions for articles in contact with foodstuffs (with a focus on kitchenware)" of 2009 (https://europa.eu/!RH66Bd), and the first three editions of the report published in 2019 (Ed. 1), 2020 (Ed. 2) and 2021 (Ed. 3, https://bit.ly/3jcdXO2).
