EN 12856 Food Additive Residue Screening Tests Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

EN 12856 is a European standard that governs the testing of food additive residues in food products. This standard is developed and maintained by CEN (European Committee for Standardization) and is widely adopted across Europe.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding EN 12856 testing is governed by various laws and regulations, including:

  • EU Regulation 1935/2004 on Food Contact Materials

  • EU Regulation 10/2011 on Plastics Materials and Articles Intended to Come into Contact with Food

  • EU Regulation 2023/2006 on Food Additives

    • The international standards that apply to EN 12856 testing include:

  • ISO 22000:2018 (Food Safety Management Systems)

  • ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management Systems)

  • IECQ QC 080000 (Environmental Management)

    • Standard development organizations, such as CEN and ISO, play a crucial role in developing and maintaining international standards. These organizations ensure that standards are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in technology, science, and regulatory requirements.

    Some of the key standard numbers related to EN 12856 testing include:

  • EN 12856:2017 (Food additive residues Screening tests)

  • ISO 22000:2018 (Food Safety Management Systems)

  • EU Regulation 1935/2004 on Food Contact Materials

    • Standard compliance is a requirement for various industries, including food manufacturers, packaging suppliers, and regulatory bodies. Failure to comply with standards can result in reputational damage, financial losses, and even legal action.

    EN 12856 testing is required to ensure the safety of food products by detecting and quantifying residues of food additives. This test is essential for various industries, including:

  • Food manufacturers: To ensure that their products comply with regulatory requirements

  • Packaging suppliers: To guarantee that their packaging materials do not contaminate food products

  • Regulatory bodies: To monitor and enforce compliance with standards

    • The consequences of not performing EN 12856 testing can be severe, including:

  • Reputational damage due to non-compliance

  • Financial losses resulting from product recalls or regulatory action

  • Safety risks to consumers due to contaminated food products

    • EN 12856 testing is a critical component of quality assurance and quality control programs. It helps ensure that food products meet regulatory requirements and consumer expectations.

    Some of the key business and technical reasons for conducting EN 12856 testing include:

  • Compliance with regulatory requirements

  • Product safety and reliability

  • Quality assurance and quality control

  • Risk assessment and mitigation

  • Cost savings through efficient use of resources

    • EN 12856 testing involves the following steps:

    1. Sample preparation: Food samples are collected, stored, and prepared for analysis.

    2. Instrument calibration: Analytical instruments are calibrated to ensure accuracy and precision.

    3. Analysis: Samples are analyzed using techniques such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

    4. Data collection and analysis: Results are collected, processed, and analyzed to determine the presence and quantity of food additive residues.

    5. Reporting: Test results are documented and reported in accordance with standard requirements.

    The testing equipment and instruments used for EN 12856 testing include:

  • GC-MS or LC-MS/MS analyzers

  • Sample preparation equipment (e.g., homogenizers, centrifuges)

  • Data analysis software

    • The testing environment requirements for EN 12856 testing include:

  • Temperature control: 20 5C

  • Humidity control: 50 10

  • Ventilation and air quality control

    • EN 12856 test results are documented and reported in accordance with standard requirements. The report format includes:

    1. Sample identification: Sample name, ID, and origin

    2. Test description: EN 12856 testing method used

    3. Results: Presence and quantity of food additive residues

    4. Conclusion: Interpretation of test results

    The certification and accreditation aspects of EN 12856 testing include:

  • ISO 17025 (Testing and Calibration Laboratories)

  • EU Regulation 2023/2006 on Food Additives

    • The reporting standards and formats for EN 12856 testing include:

  • EN ISO 17025 (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories)

  • EU Regulation 1935/2004 on Food Contact Materials

    • EN 12856 testing is essential for ensuring the safety of food products by detecting and quantifying residues of food additives. Some of the benefits of performing EN 12856 testing include:

  • Compliance with regulatory requirements

  • Product safety and reliability

  • Quality assurance and quality control

  • Risk assessment and mitigation

  • Cost savings through efficient use of resources
