This standard BS EN 920:2001 Paper and board intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. Determination of dry matter content in an aqueous extract is classified in these ICS categories:
67.250 Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs
85.060 Paper and board
This European Standard specifies a test method for the determination of the dry matter content of a hot- or cold-water extract from paper or board. It is applicable to paper and board intended for boiling or filtering of foodstuffs. The lower limit of determination of the method is about 1000 mg/kg of paper. This corresponds to 1 mg/dm2 of a paper with a grammage of 100 g/m2 or 2 mg/dm2 for a board with a grammage of 200 g/m2.
