Regulatory Standards for Migration of Certain Potentially Harmful Elements

I am on the hunt for a regulatory standard covering acceptable levels for the migration of certain potentially harmful elements (such as chromium, lead, mercury, etc.) from materials used in manufacturing.

Perhaps I am really looking for several standards because I need to cover metals/alloys, coatings, polymers...)

The closest I have come to what I need is Part 3 of ISO 8124-3 on Toy Safety (hmmmm...I wonder why that's at the top of all the search engines :notme:) - but I am looking for something more general or a standard covering food contact materials.

Please help to point me in the right direction.

OK, 1st, Welcome to the Cove:bigwave:

Acceptable levels of migration by who?

Consumer safety?

EPA?

International trade requirements like in Europe?

There are literally hundreds of requirements out there and you need to nail it down a bit more.

Hi annegrace,

Welcome to the Cove :bigwave:

FDA has defined the Food Defect Action Levels for natural or unavoidable defects in foods that present no health hazards for humans - http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/dalbook.html

Are you looking for this info ?

WHOA!
I am completely bowled over by your quick replies. Thanks so much! I guess my first posting was a little too general.

I am primarily concerned with consumer safety and some sort of standard which would be recognized internationally.

Re: Regulatory Standard-Migration of Elements

OK, great, that's much better.

There is of course ISO 22000:2005 - Food safety management systems- Requirements for any organization in the food chain

And then there is the ...Codex Alimentarius Commission

And good old HAACP which is part of ISO 22000
