Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Silicate surfaces - Part 2: Determination of the release of lead and cadmium from silicate surfaces other than ceramic ware
This European standard specifies a reference method for determining the release of lead and cadmium from articles with silicate surfaces of glass, glass ceramic and vitreous enamel which are intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. This European standard also applies to vitreous enamelled containers and to parts of equipment intended for industrial use with foodstuffs.
Werkstoffe und Gegenstände in Kontakt mit Lebensmitteln - Silicatische Oberflächen - Teil 2: Bestimmung der Abgabe von Blei und Cadmium aus silicatischen Oberflächen ausgenommen keramischen Gegenständen
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Referenzverfahren zur Bestimmung der Abgabe von Blei und Cadmium aus Gegenständen mit silicatischen Oberflächen aus Glas, Glaskeramik und glasähnlichen Emails, die dazu bestimmt sind, mit Lebensmitteln in Kontakt zu kommen, fest. Diese Europäische Norm bezieht sich auch auf glasähnliche, emaillierte Behälter und Teile von Apparaturen, die im gewerblichen Bereich für Lebensmittel verwendet werden.
Matériaux et articles en contact avec les denrées alimentaires - Surfaces silicatées - Partie 2: Détermination de l'émission de plomb et de cadmium par les surfaces silicatées autre que les articles en céramique
La présente norme européenne spécifie une méthode de référence pour déterminer l'émission de plomb et de cadmium par les articles ayant une surface silicatée en verre, vitrocéramique et émail vitrifié, qui sont destinés à entrer en contact avec les denrées alimentaires. La présente norme européenne s'applique également aux conteneurs en émail vitrifié et aux parties d'équipements destinés à un usage industriel avec les denrées alimentaires.

Overview
EN 1388-2:1995 is a CEN reference standard that specifies a method for determining the release of lead and cadmium from silicate surfaces other than ceramic ware. It covers silicate materials such as glass, glass‑ceramic and vitreous enamel when these surfaces are intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. The scope also explicitly includes vitreous‑enameled containers and parts of industrial equipment used in food processing.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability
Clarifies which silicate surfaces are covered (glass, glass‑ceramic, vitreous enamel) and excludes ceramic ware covered by other parts of EN 1388. - Reference test method
Provides a standardized, reproducible procedure to determine the release (migration) of lead and cadmium from silicate surfaces into contact media. - Sample preparation and surface considerations
Addresses how to handle test specimens and surfaces to ensure results reflect realistic contact conditions (surface condition, representative parts). - Extraction and contact media
Specifies the approach to expose silicate surfaces to an extracting medium that simulates food contact to assess metal release. - Analytical measurement and reporting
Requires quantitative chemical analysis of test extracts to determine lead and cadmium concentrations and defines reporting elements for test results and compliance assessment. - Quality and reproducibility
Emphasizes use of a reference method to enable inter-laboratory comparability and consistent compliance testing.
Applications
EN 1388-2:1995 is used by professionals involved in food contact material safety and testing:
- Manufacturers of glassware, glass‑ceramic products and vitreous enamel coatings - to verify product safety and support declarations of conformity for food contact use.
- Testing laboratories and conformity assessment bodies - to perform standardized release/migration tests for lead and cadmium from silicate surfaces.
- Food industry and equipment suppliers - to assess components and enameled containers used in processing, storage or service of foodstuffs.
- Regulators and compliance teams - to interpret and enforce limits on toxic metal release from food contact materials.
Related standards
- Part of the broader family of food contact materials standards developed by CEN and national bodies. Users should consult complementary standards and legal requirements for migration limits and ceramic ware (other parts of EN 1388 or national regulations) when establishing full compliance.
