ISO 17025 Accredited Testing of BPA Migration from Food Containers: A Comprehensive Guide

Standard-Related Information

ISO 17025 Accredited Testing of BPA Migration from Food Containers is a laboratory testing service that assesses the migration of Bisphenol A (BPA) from food containers into food. This service is governed by various international and national standards, including ISO/IEC 17025:2017, ASTM D4322-13, EN 13130:2009, TSE 2305:2020, and others.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service varies by country, but most countries have regulations that restrict the use of BPA in food containers. For example, the European Unions Regulation (EU) No 1935/2004 on Food Contact Materials sets strict limits for BPA migration from food containers into food.

The international standards that apply to this specific laboratory test include:

  • ISO/IEC 17025:2017: General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

  • ASTM D4322-13: Standard Test Method for Extractable and Leachable Chemicals from Plastics in Simulated Use Conditions

  • EN 13130:2009: Plastics Pails with Handle - Determination of the Migration of Certain Substances

    • Standard development organizations, such as ISO, ASTM, and CEN, play a crucial role in developing and maintaining these standards. Standards evolve over time to reflect new scientific knowledge, technological advancements, and regulatory requirements.

    Standard Requirements and Needs

    The need for ISO 17025 Accredited Testing of BPA Migration from Food Containers arises from the potential risks associated with BPA migration into food. These risks include:

    2. Extraction: The sample is extracted with a solvent, such as acetonitrile or ethanol.

    3. Analysis: The extract is analyzed using techniques like high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

    4. Detection: The BPA concentration is measured and compared to regulatory limits.

    The testing equipment and instruments used include:

  • HPLC or GC-MS analyzers

  • Autosamplers and vials

  • Pipettes and volumetric flasks

    • Test Reporting and Documentation

    The test report includes the following information:

  • Sample identification and description
