What the materials cover

These seminar materials explain how to select and assess migration tests for packaging materials. They cover conformity work as a basis for evaluating packaging, the choice of simulants and test conditions, the principles of test methods, and the interpretation of specific migration results. Further sections address non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) and mineral oils in packaging. Two exercises apply the content to original legal texts, declarations of conformity and test reports, so participants can work through realistic cases. The documents are aimed at laboratory and quality assurance staff and anyone concerned with food safety.
