OBJECTIVES
Describe the objectives of the project and the advances that it represents in relation to the current state of the art and where appropriate the links to industry and Community policy measures that it concerns. Among others this section should adress the following points:
The objectives. An explanation of how the proposal objectives comply with the objectives of the work programme and its priorities.
A brief summary of the issues involved and the current state of the art (please mention the most up-to-date scientific references relevant to the proposal objectives) For demonstration project.i justify the need to undertake a demonstration phase and explain why the level of knowledge reached so far makes demonstration viable.
1. OBJECTIVES
The overall largcl Or this projccl is to dcmonstrate the
currcnt capabilities of migration models and to validate the application records.
The intermediate objectives are: 1.1 Collcct all available diffusion and migration data in order to complete and combine the existing data banks and verify their reliability.
1.2 Dcmonstrate the applicability of the current models for polyolefins.
1.3 Verify thc applicability of the migration equations derived from Fick's laws in non-polyolefin systems with Pseudo-Fickian or Non-Fickian behaviour, considering worst case situations. Polymers with high glass temperatures alld polymers with a high concentration of plasticizers fall into this category.
1.4 Extend the model to include interaclions between polymer and food, especially at high temperatures.
which produce higher migration rates.
1.5 Considcr the partition coefficient Kp/F-values, in order to allow more realistic estimations avoiding exaggerated worst case migration values.
1.6 Incorporate thc mass transfer resistance in solid foods and liquid foods with high viscosity.
1.7 Submit the migration model to CEN for Standardisation.
1.8 identity research topics in order to define the experimental basis for a further extension of the application fields.
1.2 COMPLIANCE WITII THE OBJECTIVES OF THE SMT WORK PROGRAMME: THEMATIC NETWORKS
. 10 partners from G EU-countries, representing government
research laboratories, University institutes, independent research companics and European professional industry associations will cooperate to ensure an effective exchange along the "packaging chain" (additive and polymer produccr, convcrtcr, packaging industry). Industry will input technical production know-how, while research partncrs will contribute their experience in migration testing and modelling.
. The "Know-how" of migration tcsting and modelling is located in different EU-countries with Centres of Competence in 4 Membcr States. Under the Thematic Network the know-how exchange witll rcspect to applicalion of Migration Models will be drastically enhanced.
. Thc result will enable the Commission DG III-E-I to develop the regulatory tools to establish a harmonised system to control food contact materials involving all EU-countries under Directive 90/ 1 28/EEC. This will promotc alld improve both the "Single Market" and consumer safety.
