Heavy metals

Elements according to Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR) (lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium), former Packaging Directive 94/62/EC or with further elements. The testing is accredited through our external partner. Our test reports do not bear an accreditation mark, as we do not perform the testing ourselves. The original test reports from our external provider, which bear the accreditation mark, are made available exclusively to regulatory authorities upon request and with your approval.

In short — AI-generated

This test checks for the presence of heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and chromium in flexible packaging materials. The testing is performed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) by an external accredited partner. The test is based on standards such as DIN EN ISO 17294-2 and an in-house method of the external provider.

The resulting values indicate the concentration of heavy metals in the packaging material, which is important for ensuring compliance with regulations such as the EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation. The test results are used to verify that packaging materials meet the required safety standards and do not pose a risk to human health or the environment. The results are made available to regulatory authorities upon request and with the approval of the packaging developer or buyer.
