Comprehensive Guide to ISO 21469 Testing of Additive Safety in Food-Grade Lubricants Laboratory Testing Service by Eurolab

ISO 21469 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for food-grade lubricants, including additives and their safety assessment. This standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is available in multiple languages.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 21469 testing is complex and varies depending on the country or region. However, most countries have laws and regulations that require food-grade lubricants to be safe for human consumption.

Some of the key international standards related to ISO 21469 testing include:

  • ISO 6743-1: Lubricants - Terms and definitions

  • ISO 21469: Food-grade lubricants - Requirements

  • ASTM D7549: Standard Practice for Determining the Chemical Contaminant Level in Used Hydraulic Fluid

    • National standards that apply to ISO 21469 testing vary depending on the country. For example, in the United States, the standard is referred to as ASTM D7549.

    Standard development organizations (SDOs) play a crucial role in developing and maintaining international standards like ISO 21469. SDOs are responsible for creating and updating standards through a consensus-driven process involving experts from various industries and countries.

    Standards evolve over time due to advances in technology, changes in regulations, or new research findings. Eurolab stays up-to-date with the latest developments in standardization by actively participating in relevant committees and attending international conferences.

    ISO 21469 testing is required for various industries that use food-grade lubricants, including:

  • Food processing: Food-grade lubricants are used to prevent corrosion, reduce friction, and improve equipment efficiency.

  • Pharmaceuticals: Lubricants are used in pharmaceutical manufacturing to prevent contamination and ensure accurate dosing.

  • Cosmetics: Cosmetic manufacturers use food-grade lubricants to ensure product safety and efficacy.

    • The consequences of not performing ISO 21469 testing can be severe. Food-grade lubricant contamination can lead to product recalls, loss of revenue, and damage to reputation.

    Risk factors associated with food-grade lubricant contamination include:

  • Chemical contamination: Contamination from chemicals like heavy metals, pesticides, or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can harm human health.

  • Microbiological contamination: Bacteria, viruses, or fungi can cause spoilage, allergic reactions, or even life-threatening diseases.

    • Quality assurance and quality control aspects are critical in ISO 21469 testing. Eurolab employs a team of experienced professionals who follow strict protocols to ensure accurate and reliable results.

    The test contributes to product safety and reliability by:

  • Ensuring additive safety: Testing additives for toxicological effects, carcinogenicity, or mutagenicity.

  • Verifying chemical composition: Analyzing the chemical structure and purity of lubricants.

  • Detecting contaminants: Identifying potential contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, or VOCs.

    • The ISO 21469 testing process involves several steps:

    1. Sample preparation: Collecting and preparing samples from food-grade lubricant manufacturers.

    2. Testing equipment and instruments: Using specialized equipment to analyze the chemical composition, additives, and contaminants.

    3. Testing environment: Conducting tests in a controlled laboratory environment with precise temperature, humidity, and pressure settings.

    The testing parameters and conditions include:

  • Temperature: 20C (68F)

  • Humidity: 65 relative humidity

  • Pressure: Atmospheric pressure

    • Measurement and analysis methods involve:

  • Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS): Identifying chemical contaminants.

  • Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS): Detecting heavy metals.

  • High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC): Analyzing the chemical composition.

    • Quality control measures during testing include:

  • Calibration and validation: Regularly calibrating equipment and validating results.

  • Data collection and recording: Accurately documenting test results and data.

  • Statistical analysis: Using statistical methods to evaluate test data.

    • Test results are documented in a comprehensive report, including:

    1. Introduction: Background information on the testing process.

    2. Methods: Detailed description of the testing methodology.

    3. Results: Presentation of test results, including tables and graphs.

    4. Discussion: Interpretation of test results and conclusions.

    The certification and accreditation aspects include:

  • ISO/IEC 17025: Accreditation for testing laboratories.

  • ISO 9001: Certification for quality management systems.

    • Performing ISO 21469 testing provides numerous benefits, including:

    1. Ensuring product safety: Verifying the safety of additives and contaminants.

    2. Compliance with regulations: Meeting international standards and regulatory requirements.

    3. Protecting reputation: Preventing product recalls and ensuring customer trust.

    In conclusion, ISO 21469 testing is essential for industries that use food-grade lubricants to ensure additive safety, chemical composition, and contamination detection. By following the guidelines outlined in this comprehensive guide, Eurolab provides accurate and reliable results to help manufacturers maintain product safety and compliance with regulations.
