Notes:
1. Migration of harmful substances from packaging (closures), including packaging (closures) for baby food made of combined materials, is tested only from the layer in direct contact with the food products.
2. When assessing materials and articles intended for packaging baby food products for infants and young children, migration of chemical substances belonging to hazard classes 1 and 2 is not permitted.
3. Tests of the migration of harmful substances into model media are carried out for packaging intended for storing products with a moisture content of more than 15 %, and into an air model medium – for products with a moisture content of less than 15 %.
* - for all types of artificial protein casings, the allowable migration quantity for total aldehydes (including formaldehyde) – 0,8 mg/l.
** - paper and cardboard containing recovered paper may be used only for packaging food products with a moisture content of not more than 15 %.
*** - allowable migration quantities of lead and cadmium for packaging made of glass, porcelain and faience, and ceramics are given in Table 2.
****For packaging made of polymer materials and plastics based on them, the change in acid number is additionally determined – not more than 0,1 mg KOH/g.
