(4) Subject to the proviso in paragraph (5) of this regulation, where column 4 of the relevant fraction of Part I of Schedule 1 expresses a migration limit of mg/kg in relation to any monomer, no plastic material or article manufactured from that monomer shall be capable of transferring constituents of that monomer to food with which that plastic material or article may come into contact in quantities exceeding the appropriate limit, and for the purposes of this paragraph the appropriate limit is—
(a) in the case of any plastic material or article other than one specified in subparagraph (b) below, the number of milligrams expressed therein released per kilogram of food, and
(b) if the plastic material or article comprises—
(i) an article which is a container or is comparable to a container or which can be filled, with a capacity of not less than 500 millilitres and not more than 10 litres, or
(ii) sheet, film or other material which cannot be filled or for which it is impracticable to estimate the relationship between the surface area of that material and the quantity of food in contact with that surface area,
one sixth of the number of milligrams expressed therein per square decimetre of surface area of the plastic material or article.
(5) A plastic material or article manufactured from any monomer in respect of which column 4 of the relevant fraction of Part I of Schedule 1 expresses a migration limit of mg/kg shall not be considered capable of transferring constituents of that monomer to food with which that plastic material or article may come into contact in quantities exceeding the appropriate limit in paragraph (4) of this regulation if the only food which that plastic material or article may come into contact with is a food or foods specified in the Table to Part III of Schedule 2 in relation to which no simulant is specified.
(6) In any proceedings for an offence under regulation 3 comprising the manufacture of a plastic material or article with any monomer (whether or not of good technical quality) other than those identified in the relevant fraction of Part I of Schedule 1, it shall be a defence for the person charged to prove that—
(a) each such monomer is present in the finished plastic material as an impurity, a reaction intermediate or a decomposition product,

(c) each such monomer falls within either sub-paragraph (a) or sub-paragraph (b) above.
(7) Part II of Schedule 1 shall have effect to supplement this regulation and Part I of Schedule 1.
6 

(1) Plastic material, for the purposes of these Regulations, shall be treated as being capable of transferring constituents to food with which it may come into contact to the extent that it is established for those purposes—
(a) in any case other than one to which sub-paragraph (b) below relates, by the verification methods specified in Schedule 2, and
(b) in any case where the extent to which vinyl chloride, as identified in Section A of Part I of Schedule 1, is capable of such transfer falls to be established, by the method referred to in regulation 14(2) of the 1987 Regulations.
(2) In Schedule 2 refences to migration or release of a substance shall be construed as references to the transfer of constituents to the simulant representing the food or, as the case may be, food with which it may come into contact.
7 

(1) Subject to paragraph (2) below, any plastic material or article which is intended to be placed in contact with food and is at a marketing stage other than the retail stage shall be accompanied by a written declaration attesting that it complies with the legislation applicable to it.
(2) Paragraph (1) above shall not apply to any plastic material or article which by its nature is clearly intended to come into contact with food.
8 

(1) Each authority which is the enforcement authority for the 1987 Regulations shall enforce and execute in its area the provisions of these Regulations.

9 

(1) If any person contravenes or fails to comply with any of the provisions of these Regulations he shall be guilty of an offence.
(2) Any person who—
(a) intentionally obstructs any person acting in the execution of these Regulations, or
(b) without reasonable cause, fails to give to any person acting in the execution of these Regulations any assistance or information which that person may reasonably require of him for the performance of his functions under these Regulations,
shall be guilty of an offence, but nothing in sub-paragraph (b) above shall be construed as requiring any person to answer any question or give any information if to do so might incriminate him.
(3) Any person who, in purported compliance with any such requirement as is mentioned in paragraph (2)(b) above—
(a) furnishes information which he knows to be false or misleading in a material particular, or
(b) recklessly furnishes information which is false or misleading in a material particular,
shall be guilty of an offence.

(a) any director, manager, secretary or other similar officer of the body corporate, and in Scotland, any partner of a partnership, or
(b) any person who was purporting to act in any such capacity,
he as well as the body corporate shall be deemed to be guilty of that offence and shall be liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly.
(5) For the purposes of these Regulations “body corporate” shall in Scotland include a partnership.
(6) Where the commission by any person of an offence under these Regulations is due to an act or default of some other person, that other person shall be guilty of the offence; and a person may be charged with and convicted of the offence by virtue of this paragraph whether or not proceedings are taken against the first mentioned person.
(7) In any proceedings for an offence under these Regulations it shall, subject to paragraph (11) below, be a defence for the person charged to prove that he took all reasonable precautions and exercised all due diligence to avoid the commission of the offence by himself or by a person under his control.
(8) Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (7) above, a person charged with an offence under these Regulations who neither—
(a) prepared the plastic material or article in respect of which the offence is alleged to have been committed, nor
(b) imported it into Great Britain,
shall be taken to have established the defence provided by that paragraph if he satisfies the requirements of paragraph (9) or (10) below.
(9) A person satisfies the requirements of this paragraph if he proves—
(a) that the commission of the offence was due to an act or default of another person who was not under his control, or to reliance on information supplied by such a person;
(b) that he carried out all such checks of the plastic material or article in question as were reasonable in all the circumstances, or that it was reasonable in all the circumstances for him to rely on checks carried out by the person who supplied the plastic material or article to him; and
(c) that he did not know and had no reason to suspect at the time of the commission of the alleged offence that his act or omission would amount to an offence under these Regulations.
(10) A person satisfies the requirements of this paragraph if the offence is one of sale and he proves—
(a) that the commission of the offence was due to an act or default of another person who was not under his control, or to reliance on information supplied by such a person;
(b) that the sale of which the alleged offence consisted was not a sale under his name or mark; and
(c) that he did not know, and could not reasonably have been expected to know, at the time of the commission of the alleged offence that his act or omission would amount to an offence under these Regulations.
(11) If in any case the defence provided by paragraph (7) above involves the allegation that the commission of the offence was due to an act or default of another person, or to reliance on information supplied by another person, the person charged shall not, without leave of the court, be entitled to rely on that defence unless—
(a) at least seven clear days before the hearing, and
(b) where he has previously appeared before a court in connection with the alleged offence, within one month of his first such appearance,
he has served on the prosecutor a notice in writing giving such information identifying or assisting in the identification of that other person as was then in his possession, and in this paragraph any reference to appearing before a court shall be construed as including a reference to being brought before a court.
(12) Any person guilty of an offence under these Regulations shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months or to both and on conviction on indictment to a fine or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or both.
10 
In establishing which descriptions of food a plastic material or article may come into contact with it shall be assumed for the purposes of these Regulations, until the contrary is proved, that, if particulars are shown in relation to that plastic material or article in accordance with the 1987 Regulations, those particulars are accurate and that, unless the particulars so indicate, there are no restrictions on the intended conditions of contact.
11

SCHEDULE 2
Regulation 6
PART I
1 
When the results of the migration tests specified in this Schedule are analytically determined the specific gravity of any simulants used shall be assumed to be 1, so that milligrams of any substance released per litre of simulant will correspond numerically to milligrams of that substance released per kilogram of that simulant.
2 
Where any migration test specified in this Schedule is carried out on any sample taken from any plastic material or article and the quantities of food or simulant placed in contact with the sample differ from those employed in the actual conditions under which the plastic material or article is used or is to be used, the results obtained should be corrected by applying the following formula:M=m.a2a1.q×.1000
 M is the migration in mg/kg;
 m is the mass in mg of substance released by the sample as determined by the migration test;
 a1 is the surface area in square decimetres of the sample in contact with the food or simulant during the migration test;
 a2 is the surface area in square decimetres of the plastic material or article in actual conditions of use;
 q is the quantity in grams of food in contact with the plastic material or article in actual conditions of use.
3 

(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, any testing of migration from any plastic material or article shall be carried out on that plastic material or article.
(2) In any case where determination in accordance with sub-paragraph (1) above is impracti-cable, such testing shall be carried out, using either specimens taken from that plastic material or article or, where appropriate, specimens representative of that plastic material or article.
(3) Any sample used for such testing shall be placed in contact with the simulant or food, as the case may be, in a manner representing the contact conditions in actual use, and, for this purpose, the testing shall be carried out in such a way that only those parts of the sample intended to come into contact with food in actual use will be in contact with the simulant or food.
(4) Any migration testing of caps, gaskets, stoppers or similar devices for sealing shall be carried out on these articles by applying them to the containers for which they are intended in a manner which corresponds to the conditions of closing in normal or foreseeable use.
4 

(1) Any sample of a plastic material or article shall be placed in contact with the appropriate simulant or the food for a period and at a temperature which are chosen by reference to the contact conditions in actual use in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule.
(2) At the end of the period referred to in sub-paragraph (1) above, analytical determination of the total quantity of substances (overall migration), each specific quantity of a substance (specific migration) or, as the case may be, both that total and that specific quantity released by the sample shall be carried out on the simulant or food, as the case may be.
5 
Where a plastic material or article is intended to come into repeated contact with food, any migration test shall (subject to paragraph 7 below) be carried out three times on a single sample in accordance with the conditions laid down in this Schedule using separate samples of the simulant or, as the case may be, food on each occasion, and the level of the migration found in the third test shall be treated as the level relevant to that test.
6 

(1) Subject to the following sub-paragraphs of this paragraph, any method of analytical determination may be used to prove excess of an overall migration limit in relation to a plastic material or article.
(2) In any proceedings for an offence under regulation 3 comprising excess of an overall migration limit, it shall be a defence for the person charged to prove that—
(a) if an aqueous simulant specified in this Schedule had been used, and the analytical determination of the total quantity of substances released by a sample of the plastic material or article tested had been carried out by evaporation of the simulant and weighing of the residue, or
(b) if rectified olive oil or any of its substitutes had been used as a simulant and—
(i) a sample of the plastic material or article had been weighed before and after contact with the simulant,
(ii) the simulant absorbed by the sample had been extracted and determined quantitatively,
(iii) the quantity of simulant so found had been subtracted from the weight of the sample measured after contact with the simulant, and
(iv) the difference between the initial and corrected final weights had been determined to represent the overall migration of the sample examined,
 there would have been no such excess so determined.
7 

(1) Where a plastic material or article is intended to come into repeated contact with food and it is technically impossible to carry out the test described in paragraph 5 above, the test shall be so modified as to enable the level of migration occurring during the third such test to be determined and, subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, such a determination may be used to prove excess of an overall migration limit in relation to a plastic material or article.
(2) In any procedures for an offence under regulation 3 comprising excess of an overall migration limit as determined under sub-paragraph (1) above, it shall be a defence for the person charged to prove that, if—
(a) three identical samples of the plastic material or article had been procured,
(b) one of them had been subjected to the appropriate test according with paragraph 4 above and the overall migration determined (M1),
(c) the second and third samples had been subjected to the same conditions of temperature but the period of contact had been two and three times that specified and overall migration had been determined in each case (M2 and M3, respectively), and
(d) the plastic material or article had been deemed to comply with the overall migration limit relevant to it provided that either M1 or M3 − M2 did not exceed that overall migration limit,
the plastic material or article would not have been deemed to exceed that limit.
8 

(1) Any plastic material or article which exceeds its overall migration limit by an amount not exceeding the analytical tolerance specified in sub-paragraph (2) below shall be deemed for the purposes of these Regulations not to exceed its overall migration limit.
(2) The following analytical tolerances shall be applied for limits of overall migration—
(a) 20 mg/kg or, as the case may be, 3 milligrams per square decimetre in migration tests using as a simultant rectified olive oil or substitutes,
(b) 6 mg/kg or, as the case may be, 1 milligram per square decimetre in migration tests using other simulants referred to in this Schedule.

PART IV
1 
Subject to paragraph 2 below—
(a) the migration tests shall be carried out, selecting from the times and temperatures specified in the Table to this Part of this Schedule those which correspond most closely to the normal or foreseeable conditions of contact for the plastic material or article being studied;
(b) if a plastic material or article is intended to be used successively at short intervals in several of the conditions of contact referred to in column 1 of the table, migration will be determined by subjecting that plastic material or article successively to each correspond ing test condition specified in column 2, using the same simulant;
(c) where the plastic material or article may in actual use be employed under any conditions of contact time or temperature, the 10-day tests at 40°C and the two-hour tests at 70°C shall be carried out to test migration, except that, where simulant D is used (rectified olive oil or any of its substitutes), only the 10-day test at 40°C shall be carried out.
2 
If it is found that carrying out the tests required by paragraph 1 above under the conditions specified in the table causes physical or other changes in the plastic material or article, the migration tests shall be carried out under conditions more appropriate to the specific case.
3 
The Table to this Part of this Schedule shall be read with the footnotes to it.
