Amending the overview of the requirements as listed in Table 4. The category"Thermoplastics"is divided into two new categories: "All Thermoplastics" and "Polycarbonate and Polysulphone".
Expanding the list of soluble elements from 17 to 19 in Table 5 and amending some of these migration limits.These changes include dividing the migration of chromium into two types of chromium: chromium (III) and chromium (VI), a completely new entry for organictin, and new limits for arsenic, barium and nickel. It is interesting to notethat the migration limit for nickel has been strengthened approximately 4-fold, but limits for arsenic and barium have become less stringent.
Strengthening the migration limit for bisphenol A (BPA) in Table 10, from 0.125 mg/L to 0.01mg/L. But this limit is not applicable to Austrian and French due to national legislation.
