Comprehensive Guide to ISO 15819 Detection of Plasticizers in Packaging Testing Services by Eurolab

ISO 15819 is a standardized test method for detecting plasticizers in packaging materials. The standard provides guidelines for the detection and quantification of plasticizers in various types of packaging, including flexible films, rigid containers, and paper-based products.

Relevant Standards:

  • ISO 15819:2017 - Detection of plasticizers in packaging

  • ASTM D5435-08 (2012) - Standard Test Method for Determination of Plasticizers in Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

  • EN 14339:2003 - Flexible containers made from paper or nonwoven materials - Determination of plasticizer content

  • TSE 1247:2016 - Packaging materials - Detection of plasticizers

    • Standard Development Organizations:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)

    • Evolution of Standards:

    Standards are developed, reviewed, and updated periodically to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and industry practices. The development process involves input from experts, stakeholders, and interested parties.

    Scope of ISO 15819:

    The standard applies to packaging materials made from various polymers, including PVC, PET, and PE. It covers the detection and quantification of plasticizers, including phthalates, adipates, and phosphates.

    Industry-Specific Requirements:

    Different industries have specific requirements for testing and certifying packaging materials. For example:

  • Food packaging: must comply with regulations such as FDA 21 CFR 175

  • Pharmaceutical packaging: must comply with regulations such as ICH Q3A

    • The ISO 15819 Detection of Plasticizers in Packaging testing is required for various reasons:

    Business Reasons:

  • Compliance with industry-specific regulations

  • Assurance of product safety and quality

  • Prevention of recalls and brand damage

    • Technical Reasons:

  • Detection of plasticizers, which can migrate into food or pharmaceutical products

  • Evaluation of packaging material performance under various conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.)

    • Consequences of Non-Compliance:

    Failure to comply with regulatory requirements can result in:

  • Product recalls

  • Loss of business reputation and customer trust

  • Financial penalties

    • The ISO 15819 Detection of Plasticizers in Packaging test involves the following steps:

    1. Sample Preparation:

    Collection and storage of packaging samples

    Extraction of plasticizers using a suitable solvent

    2. Testing Equipment and Instruments:

    Gas Chromatography (GC) or Liquid Chromatography (LC)

    Mass Spectrometry (MS) for detection and quantification

    3. Testing Environment Requirements:

    Temperature: 20C 5C

    Humidity: 50 10

    4. Measurement and Analysis Methods:

    Quantitative analysis of plasticizers using calibration curves

    Identification of plasticizer types using retention time and mass spectra

    Test results are documented in a standardized report format, which includes:

    1. Report Structure:

    Introduction to the test method and scope

    Description of sample preparation and testing procedures

    2. Interpretation of Results:

    Quantification of plasticizers

    Identification of plasticizer types

    3. Certification and Accreditation:

    Details on laboratory accreditation (e.g., ISO 17025)

    Certification of test results (e.g., ISO 9001)

    Performing the ISO 15819 Detection of Plasticizers in Packaging testing provides numerous benefits:

    Risk Assessment and Mitigation:

  • Early detection of plasticizer migration

  • Prevention of recalls and brand damage

    • Quality Assurance and Compliance Benefits:

  • Compliance with regulatory requirements

  • Assurance of product safety and quality

    • Competitive Advantages and Market Positioning:

  • Differentiation from competitors through adherence to industry-specific regulations

  • Improved customer trust and confidence

    • Cost Savings and Efficiency Improvements:

  • Reduced risk of recalls and product failures

  • Improved supply chain efficiency through reduced testing times

    • Legal and Regulatory Compliance Benefits:

  • Compliance with industry-specific regulations

  • Assurance of regulatory compliance through documentation and certification

    • Customer Confidence and Trust Building:

  • Demonstrated commitment to customer safety and satisfaction

  • Enhanced reputation through adherence to industry-specific regulations

    • International Market Access and Trade Facilitation:

  • Increased market access through compliance with international regulations

  • Simplified trade processes through standardized testing and certification
