What the materials cover

These seminar materials cover the selection and assessment of migration tests for flexible packaging. They explain which simulants and test conditions come into question, how conformity work forms the basis for evaluating packaging materials, and how migration results are interpreted. Further sections address specific migration, the assessment of non-intentionally added substances (NIAS), and mineral oils in packaging materials. Exercises with original legal texts, declarations of conformity and test reports show what to consider when choosing and evaluating test methods and potential interfering factors. The material is aimed at laboratory and quality assurance staff and others working in food safety.
