EVS-EN 1186-8:2002

This Part of this European Standard specifies test methods for the determination of the overall migration into fatty food simulants from plastics materials and articles, by filling of test specimens with a fatty food simulant at
temperatures above 20 °C and up to, but not including, 100 °C for selected times. This method is most suitable for plastics in the form of containers and articles that can be filled. Testing samples by this method enables testing of non-homogenous articles provided they are not too large. The test method described is applicable to most types of plastics, although there are some plastics for which it is known not to be applicable.
