Comprehensive Guide to ISO 13906 Additive Residue Testing in Food Contact Materials Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

ISO 13906 is a standard that specifies the requirements for additive residue testing in food contact materials (FCMs). The standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely accepted and adopted globally. The standard ensures that FCMs, such as plastics, metals, and ceramics, do not release hazardous substances into food.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The use of additives in FCMs is regulated by various international and national standards, including:

  • EUs Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004

  • EUs Plastic Food Contact Materials Regulation (EU) No 10/2011

  • US FDAs Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR Part 176)

  • ISO 10993-18:2016

    • These regulations require manufacturers to ensure that their products meet the safety requirements for FCMs. The standard is also aligned with other international standards, such as ASTM E2594 and EN 12878.

    International and National Standards

    The standard is part of a series of ISO standards related to additive residue testing in FCMs. The main standard numbers are:

  • ISO 13906:2013

  • ISO 11885-1:2017

  • ISO 11885-2:2019

    • These standards specify the requirements for testing and evaluating additives in FCMs.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The development of international standards is led by organizations such as:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)

    • These organizations work together to develop, maintain, and update standards.

    Standard Evolution and Update

    Standards evolve over time due to changes in regulations, technology, or scientific understanding. Updates are made through a collaborative process involving stakeholders from various industries and countries.

    Specific Standard Numbers and Scope

    The following standard numbers and their scopes are relevant to ISO 13906:

    Standard Number Title

    --- ---

    ISO 13906:2013 Additive residue testing in food contact materials - Part 1: Test method

    ISO 11885-1:2017 Methods for determining chemical resistance of plastics and coatings - Part 1: Determination of the resistance to chemicals using a test chamber or a testing cell

    ISO 11885-2:2019 Methods for determining chemical resistance of plastics and coatings - Part 2: Determination of the resistance to chemicals using a liquid extraction method

    These standards specify the requirements for testing additives in FCMs.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with these standards is mandatory for industries that produce or use FCMs. Failure to comply can result in product recalls, fines, and reputational damage.

    Standard-Related Industries

    The following industries require compliance with ISO 13906:

  • Food packaging manufacturers

  • Plastic and metal manufacturers

  • Loss of business due to non-compliance

    • The consequences of non-compliance are severe, highlighting the importance of compliance with these standards.

    Standard Requirements and Needs

    ISO 13906 is necessary because additives in FCMs can release hazardous substances into food. These substances can cause harm to human health and the environment. The standard ensures that manufacturers identify and control potential risks associated with additives.

    Business and Technical Reasons for Conducting ISO 13906

    The business and technical reasons for conducting ISO 13906 include:

  • Ensuring product safety

  • Complying with regulations

  • Maintaining reputation and brand image

  • Reducing risk of product recalls

  • Minimizing costs associated with non-compliance

    • These reasons highlight the importance of testing additives in FCMs.

    Test Conditions and Methodology

    The test conditions and methodology for ISO 13906 involve:

    1. Sample preparation: Prepare samples according to the standard.

    2. Testing equipment: Use suitable equipment, such as a gas chromatograph or mass spectrometer.

    3. Testing environment: Conduct tests at specific temperatures and pressures.

    4. Data analysis: Analyze data using statistical methods.

    The test conditions and methodology ensure that results are accurate and reliable.

    Test Reporting and Documentation

    Test reports should include:

  • Test method used

  • Sample preparation details

  • Testing equipment used

  • Test conditions

  • Results

  • Conclusion

    • Reports must be clear, concise, and well-structured to facilitate decision-making.

    Why This Test Should Be Performed

    This test is essential for ensuring product safety, compliance with regulations, and minimizing risks associated with additives in FCMs. Failure to perform this test can result in severe consequences, including product recalls and fines.

    Conclusion

    ISO 13906 is a critical standard for testing additives in food contact materials. Compliance with these standards ensures that products meet safety requirements and minimize risks associated with additives. The standard requires manufacturers to identify and control potential hazards associated with additives.

    By understanding the importance of ISO 13906, industries can ensure compliance and maintain their reputation and brand image.
