  "text": "If it is not technically feasible to perform one or more of the tests OM0 to OM6 in food simulant D2, migration tests shall be done using ethanol 95 % and isooctane. In addition a test shall be done using food simulant E in case the worst foreseeable conditions of use exceed 100 °C. The test that results in the highest overall migration shall be used to establish compliance with the Regulation.\nIn case it is technically not feasible to perform OM7 with food simulant D2, either test OM8 or test OM9 shall be selected as a replacement test by selecting the most appropriate of these two tests on the basis of the intended and the foreseeable use of the material or article that is being tested. Subsequently, a migration test shall be done at each of the two test conditions specified for the selected test, using a new test sample for each test condition. The test condition that results in the higher overall migration shall be used to establish compliance with the Regulation.\nTest number\nTest conditions\nIntended food contact conditions\nCovers the intended food contact conditions described in\nOM8\nFood simulant E for 2 hours at 175 °C and food simulant D2 for 2 hours at 100 °C\nHigh temperature applications only\nOM1, OM3, OM4, OM5 and OM6\nOM9\nFood simulant E for 2 hours at 175 °C and food simulant D2 for 10 days at 40 °C\nHigh temperature applications including long term storage at room temperature\nOM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, OM5 and OM6",
