Article 1 
Pursuant to Article 2 (3) of Directive 82/71 I/EEC, the simulants to be used for testing migration of the constituents of plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with a single foodstuff or specific group of foodstuffs and the concentration of these simulants shall be those indicated in the Annex.
Article 2 
Notwithstanding Article 1, the list of substances or materials whose use is authorized to the exclusion of all others may lay down procedures testing migration of particular constituents of plastic materials and articles which differ from those laid down in the Annex where this is appropriate.
Article 3 
Adaptations to be made to the Annex to this Directive in the light of progress in scientific and technical knowledge shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 10 of Directive 76/893/EEC.
Article 4 
Member States shall take all measures necessary to comply with this Directive not later than such time as they take the measures to implement Directive 82/711/EEC

ANNEX
1. 
Simulant Adistilled water or water of equivalent quality;Simulant B3 % acetic acid (w/v) in aqueous solution;Simulant C15 % ethanol (v/v) in aqueous solution;Simulant Drectified olive oil; if for technical reasons connected with the method of analysis it is necessary to use different simulants, olive oil must be replaced by a mixture of synthetic triglycerides, or by sunflower oil.

2. For each foodstuff or group of foodstuffs, only the simulant(s) indicated by an ‘X’ is (are) to be used, using for each simulant, a new sample of the materials and subject concerned. Where no ‘X’ appears, no migration test is required for the heading or subheading concerned.

3. When ‘X’ is followed by an oblique stroke and a figure, the result of the migration tests should be divided by the number indicated. In the case of certain types of fatty foodstuffs this figure, known as the ‘reduction factor’, is conventionally used to take account of the greater extractive capacity of the simulant for such foodstuffs.

4. 

— if the pH value of the foodstuff is higher than 4,5, simulant A should be used,
— if the pH value of the foodstuff is 4,5, or less, simulant B should be used.

5. Where a foodstuff is listed under both a specific and a general heading, only the simulant(s) indicated under the specific heading is (are) to be used.
