DIN Standards Committee Paper, board and pulps

Abstract

This document specifies a test method for the determination of the specific migration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from paper, board and pulp into the food simulant isooctane. The amounts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are expressed in micrograms PAH per litre of solvent extract. It is applicable for the determination of the 24 PAHs given in 6.3, Table 1. The test method is also applicable for the determination of further PAHs unless a validation for every further analyte is done by the laboratory using this test method. In general, this test method is applicable to the determination of PAHs in concentrations ranging from 2,5 μg/l to 100 μg/l for solvent extracts. Deviations from this range are possible.
