ASTM D6955 Testing of BPA Migration: Laboratory Testing Services Provided by Eurolab

ASTM D6955 is a widely recognized standard for testing the migration of Bisphenol A (BPA) from plastics into food simulants. This standard is an essential tool for manufacturers, regulatory bodies, and consumers to ensure the safety and quality of plastic products. In this section, we will delve into the relevant standards, legal and regulatory framework, and international and national standards that govern ASTM D6955 Testing of BPA Migration.

Relevant Standards

  • ASTM D6955: Standard Test Method for Determination of Bisphenol A in Food Simulants by HPLC

  • ISO 4618: Plastics - Assessment of degradation of plastics under the influence of light and heat (including artificial light)

  • EN ISO 4618: Plastics - Assessment of degradation of plastics under the influence of light and heat (including artificial light)

    • Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The European Unions Regulation (EU) No. 1935/2004 on Food Contact Materials sets out requirements for the safety assessment of materials intended to come into contact with food. The EUs Food Safety Authority, EFSA, has established a threshold limit value (TLV) for BPA migration of 0.1 mg/kg.

    International and National Standards

  • ASTM D6955: Accepted by various national standards organizations worldwide

  • ISO 4618: International standard for assessing degradation of plastics under the influence of light and heat

  • EN ISO 4618: European standard for assessing degradation of plastics under the influence of light and heat

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is a leading developer of standards for materials, products, and services. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for developing international standards.

    Evolution and Updates of Standards

    Standards evolve over time to reflect advances in technology, changes in regulations, and new scientific knowledge. Eurolab stays up-to-date with the latest developments in ASTM D6955 Testing of BPA Migration testing.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

  • ASTM D6955: Determination of Bisphenol A in Food Simulants by HPLC

    • Scope: This test method covers the determination of BPA in food simulants using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

  • ISO 4618: Plastics - Assessment of degradation of plastics under the influence of light and heat (including artificial light)

    • Scope: This standard provides guidelines for assessing the degradation of plastics under the influence of light and heat.

    Standard Compliance Requirements
