Plastic - identification of multi-layer plastic films
Parameters (qualitative): identification of multi-layer films [-]
Article Number: 2010312
Description: Qualitative determination of multi-layer films e.g. by microscopy, FTIR and DSC. To identify the single layers of multi-layer films requires the application of various testing methods. To solve this task with success a large degree of competence is necessary. This can be shown with the participation in this PT.

Plastic - migration of PFAS
Article Number: 2011499
Description: Many per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) are subject to various restrictions in the European Union. The placing on the market and use of PFOS, PFOA and PFHxS, for example, is regulated in the POP Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2019/1021), while C9-C14 PFCAs are subject to the provisions of the REACH Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006). In addition, many other PFAS have been added to the SVHC canidate list. In this proficiency testing the migration of selected PFAS into the simulant ethanol 50% should be analysed.
Category: chemical-physical testing consumer goods and packaging plastics, plastic film
Accreditation: This proficiency test is within the scope of the A2LA and the DAkkS accreditation.
