This European Standard specifies methods to measure the temperature reached by plastics materials and articles
in contact with foodstuffs during microwave heating and conventional oven heating in order to select the
appropriate temperature for migration testing.
It is applicable to all plastics materials and articles for which the food(s) with which they can come into contact
under worst foreseeable conditions of use is/are known. This includes pre-packaged foods such as ready meals
which will be heated in the packaging, and for foods which need some pre-preparation but which include the
cooking container in the pack, e.g. cake mixes. The method is also suitable for plastics materials and articles to be
used for preparing foods in the home or for use in commercial food preparation where the article is supplied as a
stand-alone item, i.e. not containing or not including food at the point of sale.
NOTE Although the method has been developed for plastics materials and articles, it is also applicable to other packaging
materials including paper and board, rubber and elastomers, ceramics, glass etc. Temperature measurements using
conventional oven heating are suitable for metal materials but these items should generally not be heated in microwave ovens
due to possible problems with arcing.
