Artificial Saliva Solution – BS EN 71-19:2024

Artificial Saliva Solution – Compliant with BS EN 71-19:2024 Standard pH: 5,5

Warning:
Not for use in food or pharmaceutical applications. For laboratory testing purposes only.

Product Description and Intended Use:
The BS EN 71-19:2024 standard outlines testing procedures aimed at limiting the release of formamide from foam-based materials used in toys. The artificial saliva solution prepared for this purpose serves as an extraction medium that simulates the migration (release) of potentially harmful substances such as formamide.

This solution is formulated to mimic the ionic composition of natural human saliva while maintaining a pH and solvent capacity suitable for extracting chemicals from foam materials. This ensures the reliability and reproducibility of migration test results.

Primary Applications:

1. Foam-Based Toys: Used for testing the release of formamide or other volatile and soluble chemicals from EVA, PU, or similar foam-containing toy materials.

2. Laboratory Extraction Medium: Serves as the test solution in migration testing conducted under the BS EN 71-19 standard.

3. Safety Assessment: Plays a key role in evaluating the chemical safety of toy products intended for children.

This testing method aims to control the presence of hazardous substances in the toy industry and ensure product safety. Artificial saliva prepared in accordance with BS EN 71-19:2024 serves as a reliable reference medium for the analysis of foam-based materials.
