Migration Analysis of Primary Aromatic Amines and Formaldehyde

Plastics and Materials in Contact with Food - Migration Analysis of Primary Aromatic Amines and Formaldehyde

Published by the JRC (Joint Research Center – Community Reference Laboratory for Food Contact Materials), this guideline EUR 24815 EN 2011 has been prepared in order to cooperate with the European network of national reference laboratories following the publication of Regulation (EU) No 284/2011.

The content of the guide includes common practices for conducting market control operations in the EU for melamine and polyamide cookware. The following substances are sought in the tests performed within the scope of the guideline:

- (2,4,5-Trimethylaniline (2,4,5-TMA); 2,4-Diaminoanisole (4-M-m-PDA)
- 2,4-Diaminotolunene (2,4-TDA);2,4-Dimethylaniline (2,4-DMA)
- 2,6-Dimethylaniline (2,6-DMA)
- 2 -Methoxy-5-methylaniline (2-M-5-MA)
- 2 -Methyl-m-phenylenediamine (2,6-TDA)
- 4,4'-Diaminodiphenylmethane (4.4 '-MDA)
- 4.4'-Methylene-bis- (2-methyl-aniline) (4.4'-MDoT)
- 4.4'-Oxydianiline (4.4'- DPE)
- 4 -Aminobiphenyl (4-ABP)
- 4-Chloro-2-methylaniline (4-CoT)
- 4 -Chloroaniline (4-CA)
- Aniline (ANL)
- Benzidine (BNZ)
- m-Phenylenediamine (m-PDA)
- o-Anisidine (o-ASD)
- o-Tolidine (3, 3'-Dimethylbenzidine) (3,3'-DMB)
- o-Toluidine (o-T)
- p-Phenylenediamine (p-PDA)
