BS EN 1186-1 is intended to give advice on the selection of the most appropriate type of test, test conditions and test method for a given application of a plastics article and is intended to be read in its entirety before testing protocols are finalized.
For most plastics articles methods in EN 1186-2 to EN 1186-9 are suitable, according to the form in which the article is tested.
Subsequent Parts of this standard are intended to be used in conjunction with the methods in EN 1186-2 to EN 1186-9 for more difficult samples and at other temperatures.
This Part of this European Standard provides a guide to the selection of the appropriate conditions and test methods for the determination of overall migration into food simulants and test media from plastics which are intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.
