Objective To assure consumer protection, food contact plastic materials have to be tested for specific migration of certain monomers and additives. CRMs are needed to check the performance of the migration contact and to validate substitute fat tests, rapid alternative test methods and mathematical modeling methods as additional tools for cost effective compliance testing. In this project the know how and the ability to produce CRMs for specific migration will be developed with the certification parameters: migrant concentration in the material, diffusion coefficients and specific migration. From 16 polymer/migrant combinations developed as possible future CRMs, the 6 best suitable materials are selected and the feasibility for future CRM production will be demonstrated. Materials and results will be exploited for specific migration method validation and proficiency tests.
