Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 is amended as follows:

(1)

in point 1, Table 1 is amended as follows:

(a)

the entry concerning FCM substance No 856 is replaced by the following:

‘

856 40563 25101-28-4 (butadiene, styrene, methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate) copolymer cross-linked with divinylbenzene or 1,3-butanediol dimethacrylate yes no no
Only to be used in:

rigid poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) at a maximum level of 12 % at room temperature or below; or

at up to 40 % w/w in blends of styrene acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) repeat-use articles at room temperature or below, and when either in contact only with aqueous, acidic and/or low alcoholic (< 20 %) foodstuffs for less than 1 day, or when in contact only with dry foodstuffs for any duration of time.

’

(b)

the following entries are inserted in numerical order of the FCM substance numbers:

‘

1061 80512-44-3 2,4,4′-trifluorobenzophenone no yes no Only to be used as a co-monomer in the manufacture of polyether ether ketone plastics up to 0,3 % w/w of the final material.
1063 1547-26-8 2,3,3,4,4,5,5-heptafluoro-1-pentene no yes no Only to be used together with tetrafluoroethylene and/or ethylene co-monomers to manufacture fluorocopolymers for application as polymer processing aid at up to 0,2 % w/w of the food contact material, and when the low-molecular mass fraction below 1 500 Da in the fluorocopolymer does not exceed 30 mg/kg.
1064 39318-18-8 tungsten oxide yes no no 0,05 Stoichiometry: WO_n, n = 2,72-2,90 (25)
1065 85711-28-0 mixture of methyl-branched and linear C₁₄-C₁₈ alkanamides, derived from fatty acids yes no no 5 Only to be used in the manufacture of articles made of polyolefins, and which do not come into contact with foods for which food simulant D2 is assigned in Table 2 of Annex III. (26)

’

(2)

in point 3, in Table 3, the following entries are added:

‘

(25) When used as reheat agent in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) verification of compliance with the specific migration limit is not required; in all other cases compliance with the specific migration limit shall be verified in accordance with Article 18; the specific migration limit is expressed as mg tungsten/kg food.
(26) Migration of stearamide, listed in Table 1 under FCM substance No 306 to which no specific migration limit applies, shall be excluded from verification of the compliance of the migration of the mixture with the specific migration limit laid down for the mixture.
