yes

no

no

0,002

(4)’

‘974

74050

939402-02-5

phosphorous acid, mixed 2,4-bis(1,1- dimethylpropyl)phenyl and 4-(1,1- dimethylpropyl)phenyl triesters

yes

no

yes

10

SML expressed as the sum of the phosphite and phosphate forms of the substance, 4-tert-amylphenol and 2,4-di-tert-amylphenol. The migration of 2,4-di-tert- amylphenol shall not exceed 1 mg/kg food.’

(b)

the following entries are added in numerical order of the FCM substance numbers:

‘1066

23985-75-3

1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphtalene-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, dimethyl ester

no

yes

no

0,05

Only to be used as a co-monomer in the manufacture of a polyester non-food contact layer in a plastic multilayer material, which is to be used only in contact with foods for which food simulants A, B, C and/or D1 are assigned in Table 2 of Annex III. The specific migration limit in column 8 refers to the sum of the substance and of its dimers (cyclic and open chain).

1068

2530-83-8

[3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl]trimethoxy silane

yes

no

no

Only to be used as a component of a sizing agent to treat glass fibres to be embedded in glass-fibre-reinforced low diffusivity plastics (polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), thermoset polyesters and epoxy bisphenol vinylester) in contact with all foodstuffs.

In treated glass fibres, residues of the substance must not be detectable at 0,01 mg/kg for the substance and 0,06 mg/kg for each of the reaction products (hydrolysed monomers and epoxy-containing cyclic dimer, trimer and tetramer).’
