Plastic Packaging

What is the purpose of plastic packaging analyses?

Plastic packaging analyses are critical control measures aimed at determining the quality, safety, and performance of these materials under transport conditions, which are closely related to food and consumer health.

Since plastics are the preferred packaging material in the food, cosmetic, medical, and many other industries, regular and flawless analysis of these materials is of great importance.

Relevant Standards for the Analysis of Plastic Packaging

Nanolab conducts numerous physical, chemical, and migration analyses on plastic packaging in accordance with national and international regulations:

• EN 1186: This series of European standards defines the fundamental principles for the migration of constituents from plastic materials and articles into food simulants.
• EN 13130: This standard specifically lays down rules for specific migration tests. It addresses the migration of certain substances from plastics into aqueous and fatty food simulants.
• Chinese GB 31604 Series: These standards compile the methods for testing the migration of substances from various food contact materials, including plastics, in China.
• FDA Methods: These are test methods established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for evaluating the safety of food contact materials.
• Regulation-Specific Analyses: Our team is familiar with the specific testing requirements of various global regulations, ensuring that your products comply with the highest safety standards.

Plastic packaging is subject to stringent controls by the EU (EU 10/2011, EU 1935/2004) and national regulations. These regulations and standards minimize risks to public health and foster trust between manufacturers and consumers.
