Comprehensive Guide to ISO 18857 Additive Residue Testing in Food Packaging Materials

Standard-Related Information

ISO 18857 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for additive residue testing in food packaging materials. The standard provides a framework for laboratories to test and analyze the presence of additives, such as plasticizers, antioxidants, and UV stabilizers, in food packaging materials.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service is governed by various national and international regulations, including:

  • ISO 18857:2019

  • ASTM D4326-13 (Standard Test Method for Determination of Additives in Polyolefin Plastics)

  • EN 16565:2014 (Plastics Thermoplastics Determination of additives)

  • TSE P10/3 (Turkish Standard for Testing and Evaluation of Food Packaging Materials)

    • The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for developing, maintaining, and updating international standards. ISO has developed a robust framework for standard development, which includes the following stages:

    1. Research and analysis

    2. Committee formation

    3. Drafting the standard

    4. Public review and comment

    5. Final approval

    The scope of ISO 18857 covers the testing of additives in food packaging materials, including:

  • Plasticizers (e.g., phthalates)

  • Antioxidants (e.g., BHT)

  • UV stabilizers (e.g., Tinuvin P)

    • Compliance with this standard is mandatory for all industries involved in the production and supply chain of food packaging materials.
