Foreword  
 
GCC Standardization Organization (GSO) is a regional Organization which consists of the  
National Standards Bodies of GCC member States. One of GSO main functions is to issue  
Gulf Standards /Technical regulations through specializ ed technical committees (TCs).  
 
GSO through the technical program of committee TC No (5) " Technical committee for  
standards of food and agriculture products " has prepared this Standard. The Draft Standard  
has been prepared by Kingdom of Saudi Arabia .  
 
This standard has been approved as Gulf (Technical Regulation) by GSO Board 
of Directors  in its meeting No. (           ), held on    /    /   /  H ,  /    /   G. The

FOOD PACKAG ES - PART 2: PLASTIC PACKAGES –  
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS  
 
1- SCOPE  
This standard is concerned with the general requirements of plastic packages in contact 
with food  
 
2. COMPLEMENTARY REFERENCES  
2.1 GSO 839 ―Food Packages - Part 1: General Requirements‖.  
2.2 GSO t o be approved by GCC STANDARDIZATION ORGANIZATION on  
―Food Packages - Methods of Testing of Plastic Packages‖.  
 
 
3. DEFINITIONS  
3.1 Plastic materials: materials manufactured from simple petrochemical products of  
low molecular weights by polymerization to p roduce high molecular weight  
compounds such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene,  
and polyethylene terephthalate.  
 
3.2 Plastic packaging materials: plastic materials (item 3.1) which soften when  
exposed to heat. Those materials a re manufactured and formed using specific  
methods such as extrusion, injection blow molding, stretch blow molding,  
thermoforming, tube extrusion, rotational molding, compression molding, or any  
other new methods. Some materials such as colourants, stabiliz ers, antioxidants,  
and plasticizers, may be added during processing in order to attain specific  
properties to satisfy end application requirements. Plastic packaging materials  
include many types such as flexible films, soft, semi -rigid, and rigid materials . 
 
3.3 Plastic package: a package made of a plastic material (item 3.2) to be used for  
packaging a food material for purposes of attaining containment, protection and  
preservation. Plastic packages come in many forms such as bottles, bags, plates,  
trays, c ups, flexible or rigid tubes, jars, pouches, barrels, boxes, woven sacks, or  
any other geometrical shapes.  
 
3.4 Antioxidants: materials added to the plastic material to avoid its oxidation during  
processing, storage, and final use.  
 
3.5 Permeability of gas es and water vapors : a measure of t he rate of permeable of the 
gasor vapour through a specific thickness of the plastic material at a specific  
conditions of temperature, pressure and relative humidity.  
 
3.6 Creep: a measure of deformation that takes place with time when the plastic  
material is exposed to a constant load.  
 
3.7 Degradation of the plastic package: occurrence of a sensible change in its  
chemical composition, physical properties and appearance.  
 GSO …./2012   GSO STANDARD            
 
5 
 3.8 Dimensional stability: ability of the package to retain its initial dimensions and  
shape.  
3.9 The overall migration limit means the amount of non -volatile substances released 
from a material or article into food simulants;  
3.10 The specific migration is the amount of a specific substance in food.  
3.11 The food simulant  means a test medium imitating food; in its behaviour the food 
simulant mimics migration from food contact materials;  
 
4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS  
Without violation of packaging requirements stated in GSO standard mentioned in  item 
(2.1), th e following general requirements for plastic packages used in  packaging food 
materials shall be met:  
 
4.1 All plastic raw materials used in manufacturing food packages shall be of known  
origin and composition to avoid use of scrap or preused raw materials . 
 
4.2They shall be clean and homogeneous, free from any foreign materials, swelling or  
air pockets.  
 
4.3 They shall not cause any hazards to consumer health.  
 
4.4 They  shall not lead to degradation of sensory properties of the packaged food  
material, or oc currence of undesirable changes in the nature and quality of food  material.  
 
4.5 Pigments, colouring materials, and other compo nents used in their formulation and 
manufacture shall be nonpoisonous and with no tendency for migration which may 
cause migrated  components to react or mix with the food material.  
 
4.6 They shall be resistant to impact effects caused by shocks and mechanical vibrations.  
 
4.7 When rigid and semi -rigid packages are dropped when empty for three consecutive 
times on a solid surface fro m a 75 c m height, they shall not crack, tear, or loose any 
intactness.  
 
4.8 They shall not be affected by heat during filling, closi ng, storing, transportation, or 
handling, in a way that deform them or change  their composition, chemical or physical 
proper ties; or increase probabilities  of reactions and migrations of monomers or additive 
materials within the permissible levels.  
 
4.9 Their creep value shall be low in order to avoid problems arising as a result of 
stacking and handling and they shall be char acterized with good dimensional stability in 
order to avoid printing difficulties.  
 
4.10 Their resistance to acids and bases shall be suitable to the packaged food material.  
 
4.11 The pH of a water solution within the range o f 6-8 shall not be changed when 
placed in the package for one hour.  
 
4.12 They shall be nonreactable with organic sol vents and oils in packaged food 
materials.  GSO …./2012   GSO STANDARD            
 
6 
 4.13Their permeability to water vapour shall be suitable to the packaged food material.  
 
4.14 Their permeability to gases shall be suitable to the packaged food material.  
 
4.15 They shall not be affected by light when exposed to it for long periods.  
 
4.16 They shall have the ability of attaining tight clo sure (or sealing) when hermetic 
sealing used as a sterilizable package for foo d materials.  
 
4.17 The concentration of vinyl chloride monomer shall not exceed 1 mg per kg of the 
plastic material, or 0.01 mg per kg of the packaged food material, in the case of 
packages made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC).  
 
 
4.18 The concentration of the monomer of styrene in the plastic material shall not 
exceed 1% by weight in packages of non -fatty food materials, and shall not exceed  
0.5% in packages of fatty food materials, in the case of packages made of polystyrene or 
modified rubbery polystyrene.  
 
4,19 The concentration of acrylonitrile monomer shall not exceed 0.00 5 mg per kg of the 
plastic material or 0.02 mg per kg of the food material, in the case of packages made of 
acrylonitrile.  
 
4.20 In the case of manufacturing multilayered packages from mor e than one material,  
it shall be necessary to get rid of the remaining of solvents, gluing materials, or major 
materials, such that the remains of all those solvents together shall not exceed 5 mg per 
square meter of the package surface.  
 
4.21 Overall migr ation less than 10 mg/dm2 or 60 mg/kg.

Note No.  Notes on verification of compliance  
(1) Verification of compliance by residual content per food contact sur face area 
(QMA) pending the availability of an analytical method.  
(2) There is a risk that the SML or OML could be exceeded in fatty food 
simulants.  
(3) There is a risk that the migration of the substance deteriorates the 
organoleptic characteristics of the food in contact and then, that the final 
product does not comply with Section 3(1)c of the General Regulation.  
(4) Compliance testing when there is a fat contact should be performed using 
saturated fatty food simulants as simulant D  
(5) Compliance te sting when there is a fat contact should be performed using 
isooctane as substitute of simulant D2 (unstable)  
(6) Migration limit might be exceeded at very high temperature.  
(7) If testing in food is performed, Appendex V 1.4 shall be taken into account.  
(8) Verification of compliance by residual content per food contact surface area 
(QMA);  QMA = 0,005 mg/6 dm  
(9) Verification of compliance by residual content per food contact surface area 
(QMA) pending the availability of analytical method for migrati on testing. 
The ratio surface to quantity of food shall be lower than 2dm2/kg  
(10) Verification of compliance by residual content per food contact surface area 
(QMA) in case of reaction with food or stimulant

744 Definitio n The copolymers are produced by the controlled 
fermentation of Alcaligenes eutrophus using mixtures of 
glucose and propanoic acid as carbon sources. The 
organism used has not been genetically engineered and 
has been derived from a single wildtype organism  
Alcaligenes eutrophus strain H16 NCIMB 10442. Master 
stocks of the organism are stored as freeze -dried GSO …./2012   GSO STANDARD

 ampoules. A submaster/working stock is prepared from 
the master stock and stored in liquid nitrogen and used to 
prepare inocula for the fermenter. Ferme nter samples will 
be examined daily both microscopically and for any 
changes in colonial morphology on a variety of agars at 
different temperatures. The copolymers are isolated from 
heat treatment bacteria by controlled digestion of the other 
cellular comp onents, washing and drying. These 
copolymers are normally offered as formulated, melt 
formed granules containing additives such as nucleating 
agents, plasticisers, fillers, stabilisers and pigments which 
all conform to the general and individual specificat ions
