Paper and board intended to come into contact with foodstuffs - Determination of dry matter content in an aqueous extract
This European Standard specifies a test method for the determination of the dry matter content of a hot- or cold-water extract from paper or board. It is applicable to paper and board intended for boiling or filtering of foodstuffs. The lower limit of determination of the method is about 1000 mg/kg of paper. This corresponds to 1 mg/dm2 of a paper with a grammage of 100 g/m2 or 2 mg/dm2 for a board with a grammage of 200 g/m2.
Papier und Pappe vorgesehen für den Kontakt mit Lebensmitteln - Bestimmung des Trockengehaltes in einem wässrigen Extrakt
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Trockengehalte aus den mit heißen und/oder kaltem Wasser angefertigten Extrakten von Papier und Pappe fest. Dieses Prüfverfahren ist für Papier und Pappe anwendbar, die für Koch- und/oder Filtrationßwecke vorgesehen sind. Die untere Grenzwertbestimmung dieses Verfahrens liegt bei etwa 1000 mg/kg Papier. Dies entspricht 1,000 mg/dm2 eines Papieres mit einer flächenbezogenen Masse von 100 g/m2 oder 2,000 mg/dm2 einer Pappe mit einer flächenbezogenen Masse von 200 g/m2.
Papiers et cartons destinés a entrer en contact avec les denrées alimentaires - Détermination de la teneur en matieres seches dans un extrait aqueux
La présente norme européenne spécifie une méthode d'essai permettant de déterminer la teneur du papier ou du carton en matières sèches pouvant être extraites à chaud ou à froid. Elle s'applique aux papiers et cartons destinés à l'ébulition et/ou la filtration des denrées alimentaireS. La méthode a une limite inférieure de détermination d'environ 1000 mg/kg de papier, ce qui correspond à 1.000 mg/dm2 pour du papier de grammage 100 g/m2 ou à 2,000 mg/dm2 pour du papier de grammage 200 g/m2.

Overview
SIST EN 920:2002 defines a standardized method for determining the dry matter content in an aqueous extract from paper and board intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. This European standard is essential for manufacturers and laboratories that need to ensure food contact materials such as paper and board meet safety and quality requirements. By specifying the procedure for both hot- and cold-water extraction, the standard supports consistent and reliable analysis across products designed for food boiling or filtering.
Key Topics
- Applicability: Specifies the determination of dry matter in an aqueous extract from paper and board materials used in food applications.
- Sensitivity: The method accurately measures dry matter down to approximately 1000 mg/kg of paper, equating to 1 mg/dm² for paper at 100 g/m² or 2 mg/dm² for board at 200 g/m².
- Material Scope: Covers all paper, board, and cardboard products that come into direct contact with foodstuffs, particularly those used for boiling and filtration.
Applications
SIST EN 920:2002 is widely applicable in industries and processes involving food packaging and handling materials where safety and compliance are paramount:
- Quality Control: Enables manufacturers to verify compliance of paper and board materials used in direct food contact, ensuring the material does not release excessive solid matter into food under real-use conditions.
- Product Development: Assists R&D teams designing innovative paper and board packaging or filtering materials meeting stringent food safety standards.
- Regulatory Compliance: Helps organizations meet legal requirements for materials in contact with food as part of their food safety management systems.
- Testing Laboratories: Provides accredited laboratories with a clear, reliable methodology for evaluating the suitability of paper and board products for contact with foodstuffs.
Related Standards
To ensure comprehensive compliance and quality in the production and testing of food contact materials, consider the following related European and international standards:
- EN 1186 - Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Plastics, migration testing methods.
- EN 645 - Determination of water extractable substances in paper and board intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.
- EN ISO 186 - Paper and board - Sampling to determine average quality.
- EN 15593 - Management of hygiene in the production of packaging for foodstuffs.
SIST EN 920:2002 plays a pivotal role in the assurance of hygiene, food safety, and regulatory conformity for paper and board used in contact with food. Adopting this test method supports both product integrity and consumer safety in the food industry, while also facilitating market access and trust through standardized quality assessment. For laboratories and manufacturers, adherence to this standard is a key component of demonstrating due diligence and compliance in the European food contact materials sector.
