Indian Standard
POSITIVE LIST OF
CONSTITUENTS OF POLYVINYL CHLORIDE
(PVC) AND ITS COPOLYMERS IN CONTACT
WITH FOODSTUFFS, PHARMACEUTICALS
AND DRINKING WATER

0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 13 May 1982, after the draft finalized by the Plastics
Sectional Committee had been approved by the Petroleum, Coal and
Related Products Division Council.
0.2 Plastics are now being used on a large scale for packaging of foodstuffs
and pharmaceuticals. Where direct contact occurs between the packed
commodity and the plastics, the high-molecular-mass polymer itself does
not pose a toxic hazard being inert and essentially insoluble in food.
There is, however, a likelihood that some transfer will occur of polymer
additives, adventitious impurities, such as monomers, catalyst remnants
and residual polymerisation solvents and of low molecular mass polymer
fractions from the plastics into the packaged material with consequent
toxic hazard to the consumers. The occurrence of acute toxicity due to
plastics materials in contact with food is most unlikely, since only trace
quantities of potentially toxic materials are likely to migrate. However,
the accumulation of these toxic materials with time may lead to hazards
which may be serious.
0.3 Initially the Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation of
this standard had prepared three codes of practice for safe use of
polyvinyl chloride ( IS: 728%1974* ), polyethylene ( IS : 7277-19741)
and styrene polymers (IS : 7961-1976:) in contact with foodstuffs,
pharmaceuticals and drinking-water. Taking cognizance of the pressing
need to monitor the quality of plastics intended to come in contact with
foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals and drinking water which could not be done
on the basis of standard codes of practice, the Committee decided to

*Code of practice for safe use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and its copolymers in
contact with foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals and drinking water.
*Code of practice for safe use of polyethylene in contact with foodstuffs, pharmaceu-
tical ‘and drinking water.
SCode of practice for safe use of styrene polymers in contact with foodstuffs,
pharmaceuticals and drinking water.

3
L
IS:10148- 1982

prepare the following series of Indian Standards dealing with various

aspects of plastics for food contact applications:

IS : 9833-I$81 List of pigments and colourants for use in plasticsin

contact with foodstuffs, pharmaceuticaIs and
drinking water;

IS : 9845-1981 Method of analysis for the determination of specific

and/or overall migration of constituents of plastics
materials and articles intended to come into
contact with foodstuffs;

IS : 10 I4 l-l 982 Positive list of constituents of polyethylene in contact

with foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals and drinking
water;

IS : 10142-1982 Specification for styrene polymers for its safe use in

contact with foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals and
drinking water;

IS: 10146-1982 Specification for polyethylene for its safe use in

contact with foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals and
drinking water;

IS: 10148-1982 Positive list of constituents of polyvinyl chloride

(PVC) and its copolymers in contact with food-
stuffs, pharmaceuticals and drinking water;

IS : 10149-1982 Positive list of constituents of styrene polymers in

contact with foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals and
drinking water;

IS : 10151-1982 Specificattin for polyvinyl chloride ( PVC ) and its

copolymers, for its safe use in contact with food-
stuffs pharmaceuticals and drinking water; and

IS : 10171-198’2 Guide on suitability of plastics for food packaging.

Eventually the three codes of practice would be withdrawn with the

publication of the product specification along with the corresponding
positive list for the three plastics. Standards for other plastics for food
contact applications like polypropylene and unsaturated polyester resins
svhich are under preparation are expected to follow the same pattern,
lamely, a product specification with a corresponding positive list. It is
loped that this set of Indian Standards for plastics considered safe for
hod contact applications would help the statutory bodies to effectively
nonitor the quality of plastics for this end use.

 Is : 10148- 1982

0.4 The list of additives prescribed in these positive lists are based on the
information available through published literature like British Plastics
