BS DD CEN/TS 13130-21:2005 Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Plastics substances subject to limitation - Determination of ethylenediamine and hexamethylenediamine in food simulants
This document, part of EN 13130, specifies an analytical procedure for the determination of EDA monomer and
HMDA monomer in the food simulants water, 3 % w/v aqueous acetic acid, 15 % v/v aqueous ethanol and
olive oil as well as in the substitute food simulants 95 % v/v ethanol and iso-octane. The level of EDA
monomer and HMDA monomer determined are expressed as milligram EDA per kilogram of food simulant and
as milligrams HMDA per kilogram of food simulant. The method is appropriate for the quantitative
determination of EDA at a minimum level of 1 mg per kilogram of food simulants and for the quantitative
determination of HMDA at a minimum level of 0,5 mg per kilogram of food simulants.
The method should also be applicable to other aqueous food simulants as well as to the other fatty food
simulants sunflower oil and a mixture of synthetic triglycerides.
