Description
The draft Orderprovides for the approval of safety indicators for materials and articles which contain vinyl chloride and are intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.According to the Requirements to be approved by the draft Order, materials and articles must not contain vinyl chloride monomer in an amount that exceeds the maximum permissible level, which is no more than one milligram per kilogram of material or article.Materials and articles shall not transfer to the foodstuffs with any vinyl chloride detectable by a method which meets the following criteria:1. The level of vinyl chloride in materials and articles and the level of vinyl chloride released by materials and articles to foodstuffs are determined by means of gas-phase chromatography using the "headspace" method;2. For the purposes of determining vinyl chloride released by materials and articles to foodstuffs, the detection limit shall be 0.01 mg/kg;3. Vinyl chloride released by materials and articles to foodstuffs is in principle determined in the foodstuffs. When the determination in certain foodstuffs is shown to be impossible for technical reasons, it is performed using simulants for these particular foodstuffs.The draft Order is designed to implement Council Directive 78/142/EEC of 30 January 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the member States relating to materials and articles which contain vinyl chloride monomer and are intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.
