COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2002/72/EC

of 6 August 2002

relating to plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs

(Text with EEA relevance)



THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 89/109/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs ( 1 ), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

After consulting the Scientific Committee on Food,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Directive 90/128/EEC of 23 February 1990 relating to plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs ( 2 ), as last amended by Directive 2002/17/EC ( 3 ), has been frequently and substantially amended; for reasons of clarity and rationality, it should therefore be consolidated.

(2)

Article 2 of Directive 89/109/EEC lays down that materials and articles, in their finished state, must not transfer their constituents to foodstuffs in quantities which could endanger human health or bring about an unacceptable change in the composition of the foodstuffs.

(3)

In order to achieve this objective in the case of plastic materials and articles, a suitable instrument is a specific Directive within the meaning of Article 3 of Directive 89/109/EEC, the general provisions of which are also applicable to the case in question.

(4)

The scope of this Directive must coincide with that of Council Directive 82/711/EEC ( 4 ).

(5)

Since the rules established in this Directive are not suitable for ion-exchange resins, these materials and articles will be covered by a subsequent specific Directive.

(6)

Silicones should be regarded as elastomeric materials rather than plastic materials and therefore should be excluded from the definition of plastic.

(7)

The establishment of a list of approved substances accompanied by a limit on overall migration and, where necessary, by other specific restrictions will be sufficient to achieve the objective laid down in Article 2 of Directive 89/109/EEC.

(8)

Besides the monomers and other starting substances fully evaluated and authorised at Community level, there are also monomers and starting substances evaluated and authorised in at least one Member State which may continue to be used pending their evaluation by the Scientific Committee on Food and the decision on their inclusion in the Community list; this Directive will accordingly be extended in due course to the substances and sectors provisionally excluded.

(9)

The current list of additives is an incomplete list inasmuch as it does not contain all the substances which are currently accepted in one or more Member States; accordingly, these substances continue to be regulated by national laws pending a decision on inclusion in the Community list.

(10)

This Directive establishes specifications for only a few substances. The other substances, which may require specifications, therefore remain regulated in this respect by national laws pending a decision at Community level.

(11)

For certain additives the restrictions established in this Directive cannot yet be applied in all situations pending the collection and evaluation of all the data needed for a better estimation of the exposure of the consumer in some specific situations; therefore, these additives appear in a list other than that of the additives fully regulated at Community level.

(12)

Directive 82/711/EEC lays down the basic rules necessary for testing migration of the constituents of plastic materials and articles and Council Directive 85/572/EEC ( 5 ) establishes the list of simulants to be used in the migration tests.

(13)

The determination of a quantity of a substance in a finished material or article is simpler than the determination of its specific migration level. The verification of compliance through the determination of quantity rather than specific migration level should therefore be permitted under certain conditions.

(14)

For certain types of plastics the availability of generally recognised diffusion models based on experimental data allows the estimation of the migration level of a substance under certain conditions, therefore avoiding complex, costly and time-consuming testing.

(15)

The overall migration limit is a measure of the inertness of the material and prevents an unacceptable change in the composition of the foodstuffs, and, moreover, reduces the need for a large number of specific migration limits or other restrictions, thus giving effective control.

(16)

Council Directive 78/142/EEC ( 6 ) lays down limits for the quantity of vinyl chloride present in plastic materials and articles prepared with this substance and for the quantity of vinyl chloride released by these materials and articles, and Commission Directives 80/766/EEC ( 7 ) and 81/432/EEC ( 8 ) establish the Community methods of analysis for controlling these limits.

(17)

In view of potential liability, there is a need for the written declaration provided for in Article 6(5) of Directive 89/109/EEC whenever professional use is made of plastic materials and articles which are not by their nature clearly intended for food use.

(18)

Commission Directive 80/590/EEC ( 9 ) determines the symbol that may accompany any material and article intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.

(19)

In accordance with the principle of proportionality, it is necessary and appropriate for the achievement of the basic objective of ensuring the free movement of plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs, to lay down rules on the definition of plastics and permitted substances. This Directive confines itself to what is necessary in order to achieve the objectives pursued in accordance with the third paragraph of Article 5 of the Treaty.

(20)

In accordance with Article 3 of Directive 89/109/EEC, the Scientific Committee on Food has been consulted on the provisions liable to affect public health.

(21)

The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.

(22)

This Directive should be without prejudice to the deadlines set out in Annex VII, Part B within which the Member States are to comply with Directive 90/128/EEC, and the acts amending it,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

▼M2

Article 7

The specific migration limits in the list set out in Annexes II and III are expressed in mg/kg. However, such limits are expressed in mg/dm2 in the following cases:

(a) articles which are containers or are comparable to containers or which can be filled, with a capacity of less than 500 ml or more than 10 l;

(b) sheet, film or other material or articles which cannot be filled or for which it is impracticable to estimate the relationship between the surface area of such material or article and the quantity of food in contact therewith.

In those cases, the limits set out in Annexes II and III, expressed in mg/kg shall be divided by the conventional conversion factor of 6 in order to express them in mg/dm2.

▼M4

For plastic materials and articles intended to be brought into contact with or already in contact with food for infants and young children, as defined by Directives 91/321/EEC and 96/5/EC, the SMLs shall always be applied as mg/kg.

Article 7a

1.  In a plastic multi-layer material or article, the composition of each plastic layer shall comply with this Directive.

2.  By way of derogation from paragraph 1, a layer which is not in direct contact with food and is separated from the food by a plastic functional barrier, may, provided that the finished material or article complies with the specific and overall migration limits specified in this Directive:

(a) not comply with the restrictions and specifications set in this Directive,

(b) be manufactured with substances other than those included in this Directive or in the national lists concerning the plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.

3.  The migration of the substances referred to in paragraph 2(b) into food or simulant shall not exceed 0,01 mg/kg, measured with statistical certainty by a method of analysis in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 16 ). This limit shall always be expressed as concentration in foods or simulants. It shall apply to a group of compounds, if they are structurally and toxicologically related, in particular isomers or compounds with the same relevant functional group, and shall include possible set-off transfer.

4.  The substances referred to in paragraph 2(b) shall not belong to either of the following categories:

(a) substances classified as proved or suspect ‘carcinogenic’, ‘mutagenic’ or ‘toxic to reproduction’ substances in Annex I to Council Directive 67/548/EEC ( 17 );

▼C1

Article 8

1.  Verification of compliance with the migration limits shall be carried out in accordance with the rules laid down in Directives 82/711/EEC and 85/572/EEC and the further provisions set out in Annex I.

▼M2

2.  The verification of compliance with the specific migration limits provided for in paragraph 1 shall not be compulsory, if the value of overall migration determination implies that the specific migration limits referred to in that paragraph are not exceeded.

▼C1

3.  The verification of compliance with the specific migration limits provided for in paragraph 1 shall not be compulsory, if it can be established that, by assuming complete migration of the residual substance in the material or article, it cannot exceed the specific limit of migration.

4.  The verification of compliance with the specific migration limits provided for in paragraph 1 may be ensured by the determination of the quantity of a substance in the finished material or article provided that a relationship between that quantity and the value of the specific migration of the substance has been established either by an adequate experimentation or by the application of generally recognised diffusion models based on scientific evidence. To demonstrate the non-compliance of a material or article, confirmation of the estimated migration value by experimental testing is obligatory.

▼M4

5.  Notwithstanding paragraph 1, for phthalates (Ref. No 74640, 74880, 74560, 75100, 75105) referred to in Annex III Section B, the verification of the SML shall only be performed in food simulants. However, verification of the SML may be performed in food where the food has not already been in contact with the material or article and is pre-tested for the phthalate and the level is not statistically significant or greater than or equal to the limit of quantification.

▼M4

Article 9

1.  At the marketing stages other than the retail stage, plastic materials and articles as well as the substances intended for the manufacturing of those materials and articles, shall be accompanied by a written declaration in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004.

2.  The declaration referred to in paragraph 1 shall be issued by the business operator and shall contain the information laid down in Annex VIa.

3.  Appropriate documentation to demonstrate that the materials and articles as well as the substances intended for the manufacturing of those materials and articles comply with the requirements of this Directive shall be made available by the business operator to the national competent authorities on request. That documentation shall contain the conditions and results of testing, calculations, other analysis, and evidence on the safety or reasoning demonstrating compliance.

▼C1

Article 10

1.  Directive 90/128/EEC, as amended by the Directives set out in Annex VII, Part A, is hereby repealed without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States in respect of the deadlines for transposition and application laid down in Annex VII, Part B.

2.  References to the repealed Directives shall be construed as references to this Directive and be read in accordance with the correlation table set out in Annex VIII.

Article 11

This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Article 12

This Directive is addressed to the Member States.




ANNEX I

FURTHER PROVISIONS APPLICABLE WHEN CHECKING COMPLIANCE WITH THE MIGRATION LIMITS

General provisions

1.

When comparing the results of the migration tests specified in the Annex to Directive 82/711/EEC, the specific gravity of all the simulants should conventionally be assumed to be 1. Milligrams of substance(s) released per litre of simulant (mg/l) will thus correspond numerically to milligrams of substance(s) released per kilogram of simulant and, taking into account the provisions laid down in Directive 85/572/EEC, to milligrams of substance(s) released per kilogram of foodstuff.

2.

Where the migration tests are carried out on samples taken from the material or article or on samples manufactured for the purpose, and the quantities of foodstuff or simulant placed in contact with the sample differ from those employed in the actual conditions under which the material or article is used, the results obtained should be corrected by applying the following formula:

image

Where:

M

is the migration in mg/kg;

m

is the mass in mg of substance released by the sample as determined by the migration test;

a1

is the surface area in dm2 of the sample in contact with the foodstuff or simulant during the migration test;

a2

is the surface area in dm2 of the material or article in real conditions of use;

q

is the quantity in grams of foodstuff in contact with the material or article in real conditions of use.

▼M4

2a.

Correction of specific migration in foods containing more than 20 % fat by the Fat Reduction Factor (FRF):

‘Fat Reduction Factor’ (FRF) is a factor between 1 and 5 by which measured migration of lipophilic substances into a fatty food or simulant D and its substitutes shall be divided before comparison with the specific migration limits.

General rules

Substances considered ‘lipophilic’ for the application of the FRF are listed in Annex IVa. The specific migration of lipophilic substances in mg/kg (M) shall be corrected by the FRF variable between 1 and 5 (MFRF). The following equations shall be applied before comparison with the legal limit:

MFRF = M/FRF

and

FRF = (g fat in food/kg of food)/200 = (% fat × 5)/100

This correction by the FRF is not applicable in the following cases:

(a) when the material or article is or is intended to be brought in contact with food containing less than 20 % fat;

(b) when the material or article is or is intended to be brought in contact with food intended for infants and young children as defined by Directives 91/321/EEC and 96/5/EC;

(c) for substances in the Community lists in Annexes II and III having a restriction in column (4) SML= ND or non-listed substances used behind a plastic functional barrier with a migration limit of 0,01 mg/kg;

(d) for materials and articles for which it is impracticable to estimate the relationship between the surface area and the quantity of food in contact therewith, for example due to their shape or use, and the migration is calculated using the conventional surface area/volume conversion factor of 6 dm2/kg.

This correction by the FRF is applicable under certain conditions in the following case:

For containers and other fillable articles with a capacity of less than 500 millilitres or more than 10 litres and for sheets and films in contact with foods containing more than 20 % fat, either the migration is calculated as concentration in the food or food simulant (mg/kg) and corrected by the FRF, or it is re-calculated as mg/dm2 without applying the FRF. If one of the two values is below the SML, the material or article shall be considered in compliance.

The application of the FRF shall not lead to a specific migration exceeding the overall migration limit.

2b.

Correction of specific migration in food simulant D:

The specific migration of lipophilic substances into simulant D and its substitutes shall be corrected by the following factors:

(a) the reduction factor referred to in point 3 of the Annex to Directive 85/572/EEC, hereinafter termed simulant D Reduction Factor (DRF).

The DRF may not be applicable when the specific migration into simulant D is higher than 80 % of the content of the substance in the finished material or article (for example thin films). Scientific or experimental evidence (for example testing with the most critical foods) is required to determine whether the DRF is applicable. It is also not applicable for substances in the Community lists having a restriction in column (4) SML = ND or non-listed substances used behind a plastic functional barrier with a migration limit of 0,01 mg/kg.

(b) the FRF is applicable to migration into simulants, provided the fat content of the food to be packed is known and the requirements mentioned in point 2a are fulfilled.

(c) the Total Reduction Factor (TRF) is the factor, with a maximum value of 5, by which a measured specific migration into simulant D or a substitute shall be divided before comparison with the legal limit. It is obtained by multiplying the DRF by the FRF, when both factors are applicable.

▼C1

3.

The determination of migration is carried out on the material or article or, if that is impracticable, using either specimens taken from the material or article or, where appropriate, specimens representative of this material or article.

The sample shall be placed in contact with the foodstuff or simulant in a manner representing the contact conditions in actual use. For this purpose, the test shall be performed in such a way that only those parts of the sample intended to come into contact with foodstuffs in actual use will be in contact with the foodstuff or simulant. This condition is particularly important in the case of materials and articles comprising several layers, for closures, etc.

The migration testing of caps, gaskets, stoppers or similar devices for sealing must be carried out on these articles by applying them to the containers for which they are intended in a manner which corresponds to the conditions of closing in normal or foreseeable use.

It shall in all cases be permissible to demonstrate compliance with migration limits by the use of a more severe test.

4.

In accordance with the provisions set out in Article 8 of the present Directive, the sample of the material or article is placed in contact with the foodstuff or appropriate simulant for a period and at a temperature which are chosen by reference to the contact conditions in actual use, in accordance with the rules laid down in Directives 82/711/EEC and 85/572/EEC. At the end of the prescribed time, the analytical determination of the total quantity of substances (overall migration) and/or the specific quantity of one or more substances (specific migration) released by the sample is carried out on the foodstuff or simulant.

5.

Where a material or article is intended to come into repeated contact with foodstuffs, the migration test(s) shall be carried out three times on a single sample in accordance with the conditions laid down in Directive 82/711/EEC using another sample of the food or simulant(s) on each occasion. Its compliance shall be checked on the basis of the level of the migration found in the third test. However, if there is conclusive proof that the level of the migration does not increase in the second and third tests and if the migration limit(s) is (are) not exceeded on the first test, no further test is necessary.

▼M4

5a.

Caps, lids, gaskets, stoppers and similar sealing articles:

(a) If the intended use is known, such articles shall be tested by applying them to the containers for which they are intended under conditions of closure corresponding to the normal or foreseeable use. It is assumed that these articles are in contact with a quantity of food filling the container. The results shall be expressed in mg/kg or mg/dm2 in accordance to the rules of Articles 2 and 7 taking into account the whole contact surface of sealing article and container.

(b) If the intended use of these articles is unknown, such articles shall be tested in a separate test and the result be expressed in mg/article. The value obtained shall be added, if appropriate, to the quantity migrated from the container for which it is intended to be used.

▼C1

Special provisions relating to overall migration

6.

If the aqueous simulants specified in Directives 82/711/EEC and 85/572/EEC are used, the analytical determination of the total quantity of substances released by the sample may be carried out by evaporation of the simulant and weighing of the residue.

If rectified olive oil or any of its substitutes is used, the procedure given below may be followed.

The sample of the material or article is weighed before and after contact with the simulant. The simulant absorbed by the sample is extracted and determined quantitatively. The quantity of simulant found is subtracted from the weight of the sample measured after contact with the simulant. The difference between the initial and corrected final weights represents the overall migration of the sample examined.

Where a material or article is intended to come into repeated contact with foodstuffs and it is technically impossible to carry out the test described in paragraph 5, modifications to that test are acceptable, provided that they enable the level of migration occurring during the third test to be determined. One of these possible modifications is described below.

The test is carried out on three identical samples of the material or article. One of these shall be subjected to the appropriate test and the overall migration determined (M1). The second and third samples shall be subjected to the same conditions of temperature but the period of contact shall be two and three times that specified and overall migration determined in each case (M2 and M3, respectively).

The material or article shall be deemed to be in compliance provided that either M1 or M3 - M2 does not exceed the overall migration limit.

7.

A material or article that exceeds the overall migration limit by an amount not greater than the analytical tolerance mentioned below should therefore be deemed to be in compliance with this Directive.

The following analytical tolerances have been observed:

 20 mg/kg or 3 mg/dm2 in migration tests using rectified olive oil or substitutes,

 12 mg/kg or 2 mg/dm2 in migration tests using the other simulants referred to in Directives 82/711/EEC and 85/572/EEC.

8.

Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 3(2) of Directive 82/711/EEC, migration tests using rectified olive oil or substitutes shall not be carried out to check compliance with the overall migration limit in cases where there is conclusive proof that the specified analytical method is inadequate from a technical standpoint.

In any such case, for substances exempt from specific migration limits or other restrictions in the list provided in Annex II, a generic specific migration limit of 60 mg/kg or 10 mg/dm2, according to the case, is applied. However, the sum of all specific migrations determined shall not exceed the overall migration limit.

ANNEX III

INCOMPLETE LIST OF ADDITIVES WHICH MAY BE USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PLASTIC MATERIALS AND ARTICLES

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

▼M2

1.

This Annex contains the list of:

(a) substances which are incorporated into plastics to achieve a technical effect in the finished product, including ‘polymeric additives’. They are intended to be present in the finished articles;

(b) substances used to provide a suitable medium in which polymerisation occurs.

For the purposes of this Annex, the substances referred to in (a) and (b) are hereinafter referred to as ‘additives’.

For the purpose of this Annex, ‘Polymeric additives’ means any polymer and/or prepolymer and/or oligomer which may be added to plastics in order to achieve a technical effect but which cannot be used in absence of other polymers as the main structural component of finished materials and articles. It includes also substances which may be added to the medium in which polymerisation occurs.

The list does not include:

(a) the substances which directly influence the formation of polymers;

(b) colorants;

(c) solvents.

▼M3

2.

The following substances are not included even if they are intentionally used and are authorised:

(a) salts (including double salts and acid salts) of aluminium, ammonium, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and sodium of authorised acids, phenols or alcohols. However, names containing ‘… acid(s), salts’ appear in the lists, if the corresponding free acid(s) is (are) not mentioned;

(b) salts (including double salts and acid salts) of zinc of authorised acids, phenols or alcohols. For these salts a Group SML = 25 mg/kg (expressed as Zn) apply. The same restriction for Zn applies to:

(i) substances whose name contains ‘… acid(s), salts’ which appear in the lists, if the corresponding free acid(s) is (are) not mentioned,

(ii) substances referred to in note 38 of Annex VI.

▼C1

3.

The list does not include the following substances although they may be present:

(a) substances which could be present in the finished product such as:

 impurities in the substances used,

 reaction intermediates,

 decomposition products;

(b) mixtures of the authorised substances.

The materials and articles which contain the substances indicated in (a) and (b) shall comply with the requirements stated in article 2 of Directive 89/109/EEC.

4.

Substances shall be of good technical quality as regards the purity criteria.

5.

The list contains the following information:

 column 1 (Ref. No): the EEC packaging material reference number of the substances on the list,

 column 2 (CAS No): the CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service) registry number,

 column 3 (Name): the chemical name,

 column 4 (Restrictions and/or specifications). These may include:

 

 specific migration limit (SML),

 maximum permitted quantity of the substance in the finished material or article (QM),

 maximum permitted quantity of the substance in the finished material or article expressed as mg per 6 dm2 of the surface in contact with foodstuffs (QMA),

 any other restriction specifically laid down,

 any type of specification related to the substance or polymer.

6.

If a substance appearing on the list as an individual compound is also covered by a generic term, the restrictions applying to this substance shall be those indicated for the individual compound.

7.

Where there is any inconsistency between the CAS number and the chemical name, the chemical name shall take precedence over the CAS number. If there is an inconsistency between the CAS number reported in EINECS and the CAS registry, the CAS number in the CAS registry shall apply.

3-Hydroxybutanoic acid-3-hydroxypentanoic acid, copolymer

Definition

The copolymers are produced by the controlled fermentation of Alcaligenes eutrophus using mixtures of glucose and propanoic acid as carbon sources. The organism used has not been genetically engineered and has been derived from a single wild-type organism Alcaligenes eutrophus strain HI6 NCIMB 10442. Master stocks of the organism are stored as freeze-dried ampoules. A submaster/working stock is prepared from the master stock and stored in liquid nitrogen and used to prepare inocula for the fermenter. Fermenter samples will be examined daily both microscopically and for any changes in colonial morphology on a variety of agars at different temperatures. The copolymers are isolated from heat treatment bacteria by controlled digestion of the other cellular components, washing and drying. These copolymers are normally offered as formulated, melt formed granules containing additives such as nucleating agents, plasticisers, fillers, stabilisers and pigments which all conform to the general and individual specifications
