La présente partie de cette Norme européenne spécifie les méthodes de détermination du monoéthylène glycol et du diéthylène glycol dans les simulants d'aliments : eau, acide acétique à 3 % (m/v), éthanol à 15 % (v/v) et huile d'olive et autres simulants alimentaires gras, simulants D (mélange de triglycérides synthétiques, huile de tournesol ou huile de maïs par exemple). Ces méthodes permettent de déterminer séparément ou en association, le monoéthylène glycol et le diéthylène glycol dans les simulants alimentaires, à la limite de migration spécifique LMS (T) de 30 mg/kg.
NOTE Cette méthode a été élaborée pour déterminer la quantité de monoéthylène glycol et de diéthylène glycol dans de l'éthanol aqueux à 15 % (v/v), comme exigé par les réglementations en vigueur au moment où le travail de mise au point a été effectué. Cependant, cette méthode, élaborée pour de l'éthanol aqueux à 15 % (v/v), devrait pouvoir s'appliquer à la détermination dans de l'éthanol aqueux à 10 % (v/v).

Overview
EN 13130-7:2004 is a CEN European Standard that specifies analytical methods for determining monoethylene glycol (MEG) and diethylene glycol (DEG) migrating from plastics into food simulants. It covers aqueous and fatty simulants - water, 3% w/v acetic acid, 15% v/v ethanol (method also applicable to 10% v/v ethanol), olive oil and other fatty simulants (simulant D: synthetic triglycerides, sunflower or corn oil). The methods quantify MEG and DEG separately or combined at the regulatory specific migration limit (SML (T)) of 30 mg/kg.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Determination of MEG and DEG in set food simulants used for migration testing of food-contact plastics.
- Analytical principle: Use of an internal standard (butan‑1,4‑diol), sample preparation (direct injection for aqueous simulants; extraction for fatty simulants), and analysis by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC‑FID) using a cold on‑column injector.
- Sensitivity: Detection limits are approximately 1 mg/kg in the food simulants.
- Calibration & reagents: Methanolic stock solutions of MEG and DEG; preparation of intermediate and working standards; internal standard added prior to analysis.
- Apparatus: GC-FID system capable of resolving MEG, DEG and the internal standard; appropriate glassware, filters or SPE cartridges for sample clean-up; separating funnels for oil extraction.
- Quality control: Procedures for calibration graphs, validation of stock solutions, repeatability/reproducibility assessment, calculation of results (mg/kg or mg/dm2), and requirements for confirmation (e.g., re-analysis or GC‑MS confirmation where required).
- Regulatory context: Prepared to support EU directives on plastics in contact with foodstuffs (e.g., Directive 2002/72/EC and related legislation current at publication).
Applications and who uses this standard
- Testing laboratories performing migration testing on plastic materials and articles intended for food contact.
- Manufacturers and brand owners of food‑contact plastics who need to verify compliance with migration limits for MEG/DEG.
- Regulatory agencies and conformity assessment bodies that enforce compliance with SMLs and food-contact materials legislation.
- Quality assurance and R&D teams developing or reformulating polymer materials to minimize residual glycols.
Practical use cases include routine compliance testing, validation of manufacturing processes to control residual monomers, and investigative testing after non-compliance incidents.
