WHY IT MATTERS
Regulation (EU) 40/2025 restricts PFAS in packaging placed on the EU market. The obligation to demonstrate compliance rests with the economic operator.
Total Fluorine screening provides a first indication of whether fluorinated substances are present. Where screening returns a positive result, targeted analysis identifies and quantifies the specific compounds. Together, the two methods document the status of the material, whether for regulatory compliance, customer requirements or internal due diligence.

Do reusable food containers actually meet EU migration limits?
We tested 12 reusable plastic food containers available on the Greek market against the metal migration limits in Regulation (EU) 10/2011 and found that compliance alone doesn’t tell the whole story. Read the full methodology, results and recommendations in our white paper.

WHY PACK-LAB
ISO 17025 accreditation
Our analyses are performed under an accredited quality system (ESYD certificate 1265), and the reports are recognised accordingly.
Packaging specialisation
The laboratory was built for packaging materials, and the technical expertise behind it comes from years working inside the packaging industry.
Regulatory coverage
We work across EU and national food-contact and packaging legislation, including the German BfR, French DGCCRF and Italian requirements.
Documentation support
Beyond the test report, we assist with the compliance documentation required for audits and customer files.
FAQ
Which packaging materials can you test for PFAS?
We can test plastic and paper food-contact packaging materials.
What is the difference between total fluorine screening and a targeted PFAS analysis?
Total fluorine (TF/EOF) is a screening method. It determines whether fluorinated substances are present, without identifying them. Targeted PFAS analysis identifies and quantifies specific PFAS compounds (PFAS, PFOA, PFOS). Screening is faster, but targeted analysis is more specific. In many cases both are performed.
What documentation do I receive after testing?
Accredited test reports stating the determined values, suitable for audits and compliance files.
