Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 13130-28:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 194
“Utensils in contact with food”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This part of EN 13130 has been prepared within the Standards, Measurement and Testing project,
MAT1-CT92-0006, “Development of Methods of Analysis for Monomers” and has been prepared by
Subcommittee (SC 1) of TC 194 "Utensils in contact with food" as one of a series of test methods for
plastics materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs.
Informative Annex A details the relationship of this standard with the European Union Directives.
At the time of preparation and publication of this part of EN 13130 the European Union legislation
relating to plastics materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs is incomplete.
Further Directives and amendments to existing Directives are expected which could change the
legislative requirements which this standard supports. It is therefore strongly recommended that users
of this standard refer to the latest relevant published Directive(s) before commencement of a test or
tests described in this standard.
This standard is intended to support Directives 2002/72/EC [1], 89/109/EEC [2], 82/711/EEC [3] and
its amendments 93/8/EEC [4] and 97/48/EC [5], and 85/572/EEC [6].
Further parts of EN 13130, under the general title Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs -
Plastics substances subject to limitation, have been prepared, and others are in preparation,
concerned with the determination of specific migration from plastics materials into foodstuffs and food
simulants and the determination of specific monomers and additives in plastics. The parts of

Introduction
1,1,1-trimethylolpropane (TMP), C H O , PM/Ref. No 25600, is a monomer used in the manufacture
6 14 3
of certain plastics materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. After
manufacture residual 1,1,1-trimethylolpropane can remain in the finished product and may migrate
into foodstuffs coming into contact with that product.
NOTE 1 The analytical method described in this part of EN 13130 is the result of a study on the determination
of the migration of 1,1,1-trimethylolpropane from plastics materials into food simulants. In the course of the study
several problems were encountered and solutions for these problems were incorporated in the final method. The
most suitable method is described in this part of EN 13130. The method was successfully pre-validated by the
developing laboratory tests, using the four official EU food simulants, to establish the precision data at the restriction
criterion. Also migration tests were performed with samples containing 1,1,1-trimethylolpropane as monomer in
contact for 10 d at 40 °C with 15 % v/v aqueous ethanol and olive oil.
NOTE 2 During the testing of the method by a second laboratory it appeared that the testing laboratory was
not able to reproduce the precision data as obtained by the developing laboratory. Based on the problems
encountered by the testing laboratory the method description was modified to make critical points more clear.
Within the scope of the project “Development of Methods of Analysis for Monomers” it was not possible to re-test
the method and therefore the method described should be considered as a useful analytical method, with limited
validation data. Further testing is required to demonstrate that the method can be applied with the required
accuracy.
The method has been pre-validated in a validation experiment only by one laboratory, the developing
laboratory.
1 Scope
This document, part of EN 13130, specifies an analytical procedure for the determination of 1,1,1-
trimethylolpropane in food simulants distilled water, 3 % (w/v) acetic acid aqueous solution, 15 % (v/v)
ethanol aqueous solution and rectified olive oil. The method is appropriate for the quantitative
determination of 1,1,1-trimethylolpropane in approximate analyte concentration range of 0,6 mg/kg to
12 mg/kg food simulant.
NOTE The method should also be applicable to other aqueous food simulants as well as to the other fatty
food simulants e.g. sunflower oil, corn oil or a mixture of synthetic triglycerides.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 13130-1:2004, Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs – Plastics substances subject to
limitation – Part 1: Guide to test methods for the specific migration of substances from plastics to
foods and food simulants and the determination of substances in plastics and the selection of
conditions of exposure to food simulants.
3 Principle
Aqueous food simulants are saturated with potassium carbonate and extracted with ethanol/ethyl
acetate. After evaporation of the solvent, the extracted TMP is silylated with trimethylsilylimidazole in
pyridine. The amount of 1,1,1-trimethylolpropane silyl ethers are determined by gas chromatography
with flame ionization detection. 1,4-butanediol is used as an internal standard. Fat simulant is
extracted with water prior to derivatization.
Confirmation of the identity of 1,1,1-trimethylolpropane is established by combined gas
chromatography/mass spectrometry.
