# Commission Directive 2007/19/EC of 2 April 2007 amending Directive 2002/72/EC relating to plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food and Council Directive 85/572/EEC laying down the list of simulants to be used for testing migration of constituents of plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (Text with EEA relevance), Annex V

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Annex V to Directive 2002/72/EC is amended as follows:
(1) Part A is replaced by the following:
‘ Part A:
General specifications
Plastic material and articles shall not release primary aromatic amines in a detectable quantity (DL = 0,01 mg/kg of food or food simulant). The migration of the primary aromatic amines appearing in the lists in Annex II and III is excluded from this restriction. ’
(2) In Part B, the following new specifications are inserted, in the appropriate numerical order:
OJ L 339, 30.12.1996, p. 1 . ’
Ref. No
