Food Contact Materials and Articles – Determination of Cadmium Migration
1 Scope
This standard specifies the graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry and flame atomic absorption spectrometry for the determination of cadmium migration in food contact materials and articles after being soaked in food simulants.
This standard is applicable to the determination of cadmium migration in food contact materials and articles.
Method I Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
2 Principle
Soak the parts of the food contact materials and articles which are expected to contact with food in food simulants, atomize the soak solution in the graphite furnace; within certain concentration range, the absorption value determined at 228.8nm is in direct proportion to the cadmium content and is compared with standard series for quantification.
3 Reagents and Materials
Unless otherwise specified, guaranteed reagents and Class-II water (defined in GB/T 6682) are adopted for the purpose of this method.
3.1 Reagents
3.1.1 Nitric acid (HNO3).
3.1.2 Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (NH4H2PO4).
3.1.3 Reagents required for preparation of food simulants: in accordance with the requirements of GB 31604.1.
3.2 Preparation of reagents
3.2.1 Food simulants: prepared according to the requirements of GB 5009.156.

3.2.4 Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate solution (20g/L): weigh 2.0g ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, dissolve in water and scale the volume to 100mL.
3.3 Standard product

Carry out migration test according to the intended use and service conditions of to-be-tested sample and the migration test methods and conditions specified in GB 5009.156 and GB 31604.1. After fully mixing the soak solution, take some soak test solution for analysis. If the soak test solution is neutral or alkaline, then add appropriate amount of nitric acid to make the concentration of nitric acid in such test solution be about 5% (volume fraction). Meanwhile, carry out the specimen blank test.
5.2 Determination
5.2.1 Reference conditions of instruments

6 Expression of Analysis Results
Obtain the concentration of cadmium in specimen solution from standard curve, and calculate migration according to GB 5009.156 after deduction of blank value to obtain the migration of cadmium in food contact materials and articles. Three significant figures are reserved for the calculation results.
7 Accuracy
