FAPAS® Food Testing Program*
Laboratories testing food quality and safety are encouraged to
routinely perform proficiency tests. Proficiency testing is an
external check of quality. It provides an independent and unbi-
ased assessment of the performance of all aspects of the labora-
tory, both human and hardware. Each participating laboratory is
encouraged to use its normal analytical method, thereby simu-
lating the testing of a routine laboratory sample as closely as pos-
sible. While the outcome of the analysis may depend on the
choice of method, it also could be affected by the performance of
the laboratory equipment or the competence of the analyst.
Using proficiency testing, those laboratories performing well can
ensure high standards are maintained and those performing
unsatisfactorily can implement corrective action rapidly. In an
environment in which analytical laboratories compete intensive-
ly for work, proficiency testing provides the means by which
external customers can compare competence in carrying out
specific tests. Together with laboratory accreditation and the use
of validated methods, proficiency tests are an important require-
ment of the EUAdditional Measures Directive 93/99/EEC apply-
ing to laboratories entrusted with the official control of food.

Similar methods for extractables in plastic pharmaceutical containers are cited in
the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), British Pharmacopoeia (BP), European
Pharmacopoeia (EP), and Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP). Customers may also
have formulation-specific or product-specific test mixtures. Please contact us for
a custom mixture. Our current inventory of raw materials includes these popular
antioxidants. We have many more not listed and can obtain most compounds you
may need.

Method D6042-96—
Test Method for Determination of Phenolic
Antioxidants and Erucamide Slip Additives in Polypropylene
Homopolymer Formulations Using Liquid Chromatography
—
is a “consensus” or “referee” method used among plastic manu-
facturers and the pharmaceutical companies that purchase plas-
tic containers. Plastic container manufacturers use this test to
ensure the quality of their product to their pharmaceutical
customers. Pharmaceutical companies also specify this test and
provide their own lists of target compounds and concentration
limits in purchase agreements.
This test calls for isopropanol extraction, HPLC separation, and
UV detection. Restek offers a variety of reversed phase HPLC
columns suitable for these separations. Restek also designed an
analytical reference material to validate this method. This mix-
ture contains the common antioxidants and slips listed in ASTM
D6042-96, along with BHT.
