19、 EN 646:2006 (E) 4 1 Scope This document describes procedures for the testing of dyed paper and board intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. Two procedures are given. Procedure A for contact of long duration (e. g. food packaging) and procedure B for contact of short duration (e. g. napkins,
20、 kitchen papers, household papers). Visual evaluation against a blank is used only in order to detect any bleeding (yes/no) while evaluation against a grey scale provides grading of the bleeding. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this
21、document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. ISO 8787, Paper and board Determination of capillary rise Klemm method 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document,
22、the following term and definition applies. colour fastness lack of transfer of colour from a paper to a non stained glass-fibre paper, saturated with a test fluid and evaluated visually for staining against a grey scale or a blank 4 Principle A sample is brought into contact with glass fibre papers
23、which have been saturated with a test fluid and placed under load for a given time. The staining of the glass fibre paper is evaluated with the grey scale. The staining of the glass fibre paper is evaluated against a blank or grey scale. The test fluids used are distilled or deionised water, dilute
24、acetic acid, saliva simulant and olive oil depending on the type of contact expected. 5 Materials and equipment 5.1 Unstained glass fibre papers of 60 mm 90 mm. The glass fibre papers shall meet the following conditions: a) grammage 70 g/m; b) capillary rise of 190 mm to 210 mm in 10 min in accordan
25、ce with ISO 8787; c) free from fluorescent whitened and wet strength agents; d) free from cellulosic fibres. 5.2 Glass plates, 60 mm 90 mm. 5.3 Polyethylene film, uncoloured and transparent. 5.4 Mass, 1 kg. 5.5 Grey scale in accordance with EN 20105 A03. This is only needed when grading is required.

28、Then add the calcium chloride and magnesium chloride and stir until all added reagents have dissolved completely. Calibrate the pH meter with a buffer solution as stipulated by the manufacturer. Then immerse the pH electrode into the solution, stir briefly and add hydrochloric acid until a constant
29、pH of 6.8 0.1 has been obtained. Transfer the solution to a 1000 ml volumetric flask and fill to the mark with water. Store protected from light and make sure that the pH of the simulated saliva is in the 6.8 0.1 range prior to use. NOTE If the simulated saliva is to be kept longer than 2 weeks, it
30、is advisable to use water that has been boiled for 10 minutes. 6.4 Iso-octane (2,2,4-trimethylpentan) 6.5 Rectified olive oil, characterized as follows: iodine value (Wijs) 80 to 8 refractive index at 25 C 1,4665 to 1,4679 acidity (expressed as % oleic acid) max. 0,5 % peroxide number max. 10 (expre

EN 646:2006 (E) 6 8 Preparation of sample Cut or punch several test pieces of 50 mm 20 mm from the sample under investigation. Smooth edges shall be obtained. 9 Proc
32、edure A (long duration contact) 9.1 Immerse two sheets of unstained glass fibre paper (5.1) in a test fluid (6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 or 6.5). Remove the sheets after saturation and free the sheets from excess fluid by wiping on the rim of the container. 9.2 Place one sheet of unstained glass fibre paper
33、with its smooth side upwards on the glass plate (5.2). Place the test piece (Clause 8) immediately on the unstained glass fibre paper. Cover it with the second saturated sheet of unstained glass fibre paper, so that the smooth side of the unstained glass fibre paper is in contact with the test piece
34、 again. Place a second glass plate (5.2) on top of the second unstained glass fibre paper and wrap the total assembly in polyethylene film (5.3) to prevent the edges from drying out, load it with a mass of 1 kg (5.4) and allow it to stand for 24 h at (23 2) C with protection against direct light pen
35、etration. 9.3 If test pieces of a grammage of 140 g/m are to be investigated, an appropriate even number of unstained glass fibre paper layers (5.1) is used so that the total of their grammages just exceeds the grammage of the test piece. Construct the assembly as described in 9.2, with each unstain
36、ed glass fibre paper being individually saturated and wiped, and arranged in such a way that the same number of unstained glass fibre papers are in contact with both sides of the test piece. 9.4 After 24 h open the assembly. Place the unstained glass fibre papers on 3 adjacent glass rods, 8 mm to 10
37、 mm, with the side which was in contact with the test piece upwards, cover them without contact to prevent light penetration and air-dry at ambient temperature. Unstained glass fibre papers saturated with olive oil are not dried. 10 Procedure B (short time contact) 10.1 Immerse two sheets of unstain
38、ed glass fibre paper (5.1) in a test fluid (6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 or 6.5). Remove the sheets after saturation and free the sheets from excess fluid by wiping on the rim of the container. 10.2 Place one sheet of unstained glass fibre paper with its smooth side upwards on the glass plate (5.2). Place the
39、 test piece (Clause 8) immediately on the unstained glass fibre paper. Cover it with the second saturated sheet of unstained glass fibre paper, so that the smooth side of the unstained glass fibre paper is in contact with the test piece again. Place a second glass plate (5.2) on top of the second un
40、stained glass fibre paper and wrap the total assembly in polyethylene film (5.3) to prevent the edges from drying out, load it with a mass of 1 kg (5.4) and allow it to stand for 10 min at (23 2) C with protection against direct light penetration. 10.3 After 10 min open the assembly. Place the unsta
41、ined glass fibre papers on three adjacent glass rods, 8 mm to 10 mm, with the side which was in contact with the test piece upwards, cover them without contact to prevent light penetration and air-dry at ambient temperature. Unstained glass fibre papers saturated with olive oil are not dried. 11 Eva
42、luation Evaluate the staining of the glass fibre papers on the side with which they were in contact with the sample, using a blank or the grey scale (5.5). If grading is required use the grey scale in accordance with EN 20103 A03. When several layers of unstained glass fibre papers are used, evaluat
43、e only the layer that was in contact with the test piece. If the two sides of the sample produce different results, the test report shall state to which side of the sample the data relates. EN 646:2006 (E) 7 If the evaluation is done against a blank in order to detect any bleeding, the result is giv
44、en as “yes“ or “no“. If a grading is provided a distinction is drawn between five different evaluation grades: Grade one signifies poor fastness; grade five signifies good fastness. The grade of the grey scale which is the most similar to the stained glass fibre paper is given as the evaluation grad
45、e of the tested paper. NOTE 1 In the case that paper or board is coming into contact with foodstuffs only with one side (e. g. food packaging) and it is known which side is facing the food, only this side will be evaluated. NOTE 2 As iso-octane is more severe than olive oil it is possible to show co
46、mpliance using olive oil, if the test fails with iso-octane. 12 Report The test report shall include the following information: a) Reference to this European Standard; b) test result; c) designation of the paper or board and identification of the sample tested; side tested if applicable; d) procedur
47、e A or B; evaluation yes/no or grading; e) test fluids and associated evaluation notes; f) date of test; g) any deviation from this European Standard.
