DIN EN 1186-12:2002-07

This part of this European Prestandard describes test methods for the determination of the overall migration from plastics intended to come into contact with foodstuffs at low temperatures, for 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 24 h and 10 days at 5 °C or at 20 °C. These test methods are suitable for plastics samples in a wide variety of forms. The fatty food simulant used in these methods is dewaxed sunflower oil since, unlike olive oil, it remains liquid at the lower test temperatures.
