DIN 10955:2004 PDF

Scope: This standard specifies a sensory analysis method for packaging materials and packages for food products to assess their compatibility with food products [1], [2], [3]. The method serves to establish whether a package or packaging material or a food handling commodity has an inherent odour or contains substances that, under the specified test conditions, are transferred to a test substance either through the air-filled cavity or through direct contact and alter its taste. Original packaged products or food simulants (see clause 9) may be used as test substances. If tests are performed because the user has sensory complaints about the packaged materials taken from final packages, it shall first be established whether the test method is inapplicable because the changes complained of are due to secondary effects or to the permeability of the packages to odorous substances or their ability to absorb them. The standard does not apply to packages and packaging material made of paper or cardboard whose off- odour effect on and tainting of the food simulants are tested in indirect contact at ambient temperature, which are covered by DIN EN 1230-1 and DIN EN 1230-2.
