Material and migration test methods for acrylonitrile monomer in acrylonitrile-containing plastics in the final draft for Japanese Standards on Plastic Packages and Containers for Foodstuffs were supplementarily examined. A nitrogen-phosphorus detector (NPD) was found to be necessary instead of the flame-ionization detector for gas chromatography designated in the draft due to the sensitivity and specificity of the migration test. No problem in the material test method was noted in the present examination. The material test method indicated in the draft and the migration test method using NPD were applied to several kinds of acrylonitrile-containing plastics. The monomer in the plastics and the migration amount were less than the limits set in the draft.
