EU Regulation 2018/213 Testing for Endocrine Disruptors in Packaging: A Comprehensive Guide

As a leading laboratory testing service provider, Eurolab offers expert support to ensure compliance with EU Regulation 2018/213 on the testing of endocrine disruptors in packaging. This comprehensive guide provides an in-depth understanding of the regulatory framework, standard requirements, and test conditions for this critical testing service.

STANDARD-RELATED INFORMATION

EU Regulation 2018/213 is based on international standards that govern the testing of endocrine disruptors in packaging. These standards ensure that tests are conducted with accuracy, reliability, and consistency across the European Union. The relevant standards include:

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 16139:2016 - Water quality - Test for inhibition of growth, repair or reproduction of freshwater algae by endocrine-disrupting substances

  • EN 16555-1:2017 - Endocrine disruptors in articles intended to come into contact with food - Part 1: Requirements and test methods

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) ISO 16139:2016 - Su kalitesi - Akarsu suyunun besinleri ile temas edebilecek maddeler için endokrin-disruptörler tarafından inhibit edici, onarım veya üreme için su kalitesindeki alga üzerindeki test

    • These standards are developed and maintained by international standardization organizations such as ISO, IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), and CEN (European Committee for Standardization). Standard development is a collaborative effort between industry experts, regulatory bodies, and national standards institutions.
