Introduction
Interpretation of the core content of the standard
| Harmful substances | Class A limit value (mg/kg) | Class B limit value (mg/kg) | Basis of detection method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Benzene | ≤50.00 | Not applicable | YC/T 207-2006 |
| Toluene + Xylene Sum | ≤400.00 | Not applicable | YC/T 207-2006 |
| Free formaldehyde | ≤75.00 | ≤500.00 | Appendix A of GB 18583-2008 |
Technical key points analysis
This standard innovatively divides water-based adhesives into two categories: Class A is applicable to sensitive areas such as pharmaceuticals, food packaging and children's books, and Class B is applicable to ordinary printed packaging. In terms of heavy metal control, the lead (Pb) limit of 60mg/kg is stricter than the EU EN71-3 standard (90mg/kg).
Essence of the test method
When headspace chromatography is used to test benzene series, the sample weight must be accurate to 30.0-60.0mg, and triacetin should be used as the solvent. In the calculation formula C=m/M, the mass unit must be unified as kg to ensure accurate results.
Implementation suggestions
- Food packaging companies should give priority to water-based adhesives
- Regularly entrust CNAS certified laboratories to conduct special tests on halogenated hydrocarbons
- Establish raw material batch test files and keep them for at least 3 years
