FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalizedby the Plastics Sectional Committee had been approved by the Petroleum Coal and Related Products DivisionCouncil.

Plastics are being used on a large scale for packaging of foodstuffs, drinking water and pharmaceuticals. Wheredirect contact occurs between the packed commodity and the plastics, the high-molecular mass polymer itselfdoes not pose a toxic hazard being inert. There is, however, a likelihood that some transfer of polymer additives,adventitious impurities, such as monomers, catalyst remnants and residual polymerization solvents and of lowmolecular mass polymer fractions will occur from the plastics into the packaged material with consequent toxichazard to the consumers of products packed in plastics. The occurrence of acute toxicity due to plastics materialsin contact with foodstuffs is most unlikely, since only trace quantities of potentially toxic materials are likelyto migrate. However, the accumulation of these materials with time may lead to hazards which maybe serious.

This standard was first published in 1982. With the availability of newer, efficient and cost effective additiveswhich can be safely used in contact with foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals and drinking water, the concernedTechnical Committee has decided to revise this standard to incorporate more additives. In this revision, thefollowing changes have been made:

a) Four amendments issued to this standard have been incorporated;

b) The permitted list of additives has been enlarged; and

c) The additives have been brought under the heading of auxiliary items for working instead of prescribingunder various heads like lubricants, antioxidants, ultra-violet absorbers, anti-blocking agent, etc, whichis the practice being followed until now.

The additives prescribed in this standard are based on the information available from the British IndustrialBiological Research Association ( BIBRA) and the British Plastics Federation (BPF), London, FDA Regulations(USA) and EEC Directives.

This standard is intended to be used with the series of Indian Standards on Plastics for food contact applicationwhich is given in Annex A.

The composition of the Committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given in Annex B.

POSITIVE LIST OF CONSTITUENTS OFPOLYETHYLENE IN CONTACT WITH

FOODSTUFFS, PHARMACEUTICALS ANDDRINKING WATER

(First Revision )

1 SCOPE

1.1 This standard covers positive list of constituentsof polyethylene, namely the homopolymer,copolymers, terpolymers and blends of thesepolymers, manufacturing residues and auxiliaryadditives, which may be regarded as safe for use, whenproperly processed, in contact with foodstuffs,pharmaceuticals and drinking water and when presentonly in the prescribed limits of concentration.

1.2 It does not purport to establish the suitability ofthe ingredient singly in a particular foodstuff fromother than toxicological considerations.

2 REFERENCE

The following Indian Standard contains provisionswhich, through reference in this text, constitutesprovisions of the standard. At the time of publication,the edition indicated was vrdid. All standards aresubject to revision, and parties to agreements based on

this standard are encouraged to investigate thepossibility of applying the most recent edition of thestandard indicated below:
