Vitreous and Porcelain Enamels: Release from Enamelled Articles in Contact with Food - Methods of Test and Limits
Also Known As:
The limits for the release of vitreous and porcelain enamels from items in contact with food are described in the DIN EN ISO 4531 standard, along with test procedures. It concentrates on figuring out how much metal-ion enameled ware designed for contact with food and beverages releases.
In order to ensure that rigorous limitations are established to ensure the safety of the food and beverages coming into contact with the enamel, the standard offers a simulated technique for evaluating the release of metal ions from enameled ware. These restrictions establish acceptable levels of metal-ion release and guarantee that they stay within legal and safe ranges.
Tanks and vessels used for food preparation, cooking, serving, and storing are included in the scope of DIN EN ISO 4531, which also applies to other forms of enameled ware. Manufacturers can make sure that their enameled products meet the necessary safety criteria for food contact by adhering to the instructions established in this standard.
