This standard 25/30504900 DC Draft BS EN 18236 Pulp, paper and board - Determination of the migration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) into food simulants is classified in these ICS categories:

• 67.250 Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs
• 85.060 Paper and board

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.
