of the same class | second-class | three types |
Food contact material or toys for children under 3 years of age |
Regular and skin contact parts, contact time of more than 30 seconds, toys not covered in the 1 category
|
Occasionally contact parts, less than 30 seconds in contact with the skin, or parts that have no contact with the skin | |
BaPmg/kg | Not detected (<0.2) * | 1 | 20 |
16 item PAHs sum mg/kg | Not detected (<0.2) * | 10 | 200 |
If the test result is greater than a class but conforms to the two limit, then according to migration test DIN EN 1186 and LFBG 80.30-1 64 were tested to confirm the test results.

The German food and commodity law (Lebensmittel und Bedarfsgegenstandegesetz-LFGB) (German Food Commodity and Feed Law) thirtieth section formulated the allowable value of PAHs:
parameter | Plastic, often fixed contact parts, that is, contact time will be more than 30 seconds of components (such as handle, steering wheel, etc.) |
Plastic, occasionally contact parts, i.e. parts with contact time less than 30 seconds
|
BaP | 1mg/kg | 20mg/kg |
18 item PAHs sum | 10mg/kg | 200mg/kg |
EU Directive on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (2005/69/EC)
