National Food Safety Standard – Food Contact
Materials and Articles – Determination of the Content
and Migration of Phthalate Esters
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the determination of the content and migration of phthalate
esters in the food contact materials and articles.
This Standard is applicable to the determination of the content of phthalate esters in
the food plastic packaging materials, and the determination of migration of phthalate
esters in food contact materials and articles.
Determination of Phthalate Esters
2 Principle
After crushing the food plastic packaging materials and articles, use n-hexane to
conduct the ultrasonic extraction; after filtering the extracting solution, use gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry to determine. Adopt the feature selective ion
monitoring scan mode (SIM), so that retain the qualitative of abundance ratio of the
time and fragments; use external standard method to quantify.
3 Reagents and Materials
Unless otherwise is specified, the reagents used in this Method are all
chromatographic pure (or analytically pure that has been redistilled). Water shall be
the one redistilled by a full glass device and stored in the glass vessel.
3.1 Reagents

5 Analytical Procedures
5.1 Specimen preparation
Take 5g of typical sample; shear the specimen (excluding the preservative film) into
single pieces with diameter≤0.2cm; the preservative film piece diameter≤0.3cm; then
mix evenly; accurately take 0.2g~0.5g of specimen (accurate to 0.0001g) into
stoppered triangular flask; add 20mL of n-hexane; perform ultrasonic extraction for
30min and filter; after than the residue is re-extracted once by 20mL of n-hexane;
combine the filtrate into 50mL volumetric flask; use n-hexane to make constant volume
to the scale; then dilute it as per the content of phthalate esters in the specimen; after
mixing evenly, pass through a 0.45µm organic phase glass filter film; and be analyzed
in the gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer.
5.2 Blank test
The reagents used in the test shall be treated as per 5.1; and analyzed in GC-MS.
