Full title and description

St ISO 7086-2-2000 — Glass hollowware in contact with food — Release of lead and cadmium — Part 2: Permissible limits. This part of ISO 7086 specifies permissible limits for the release of lead and cadmium from glass hollowware intended for use in the preparation, cooking, serving and storage of food and beverages (excludes glass-ceramic ware, glass flatware and articles used in food manufacture or sale).

Abstract

Part 2 of ISO 7086 defines numerical permissible limits for lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) released from glass hollowware when extracted under the specified conditions; it is intended to be used together with the test method given in ISO 7086‑1. The standard groups hollowware by capacity (small, large, storage) and gives limits appropriate to each category.

Scope

Specifies permissible limits for the release of lead and cadmium from glass hollowware intended for contact with food and beverages during preparation, cooking, serving and storage. It does not cover glass‑ceramic ware, glass flatware, or items used in food manufacturing or retail sale. The limits are expressed for extraction under the specified test conditions (see ISO 7086‑1 for the test method).

Key topics and requirements

• Permissible release limits by hollowware capacity (typical values specified in the standard): small hollowware (< 600 ml) — Pb 1.5 mg/l, Cd 0.5 mg/l; large hollowware (600 ml to 3 l) — Pb 0.75 mg/l, Cd 0.25 mg/l; storage hollowware (≥ 3 l) — Pb 0.5 mg/l, Cd 0.25 mg/l.
• Extraction/test conditions are defined by the companion test method (ISO 7086‑1): 4 % (V/V) acetic acid solution, 24 h at 22 °C (sampling and analysis by atomic absorption or equivalent).
• Classification of hollowware by nominal capacity and reference surface areas for calculation/reporting of released mass.
• Limits intended to protect consumer health by limiting migration of Pb and Cd from glass surfaces into foods and simulants under the test conditions.

Typical use and users

Used by conformity and testing laboratories, glassware manufacturers, product safety and regulatory bodies, and quality managers in food contact materials supply chains to verify that glass hollowware meets internationally recognised migration limits for lead and cadmium. It is applied when assessing finished hollowware (e.g., bottles, jars, jugs, cooking/serving vessels) for consumer safety.

Related standards

Closely linked to ISO 7086‑1 (Part 1: Test method) which specifies the extraction procedure and analytical approach; ISO 7086 is a multi‑part series. National adoptions and related standards (for ceramic ware and glass dinnerware) include ISO 6486 series and various national versions (some countries adopted ISO 7086‑2 as a national standard). Note: ISO 7086‑1 (2000) has later revisions (see ISO 7086‑1:2019 for the updated test method).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 7086‑2:2000 is the part of the ISO 7086 series that specifies permissible limits for the release (migration) of lead and cadmium from glass hollowware intended to contact food.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It gives numeric limits for Pb and Cd release from hollow glass articles when subjected to the standardized extraction (see ISO 7086‑1 for the test method). It applies to hollowware used for preparing, cooking, serving and storing food and beverages, excluding glass‑ceramic ware and flatware.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Testing laboratories, glass manufacturers, product safety officers, standards bodies and regulators use this part of ISO 7086 to assess compliance and to support product specifications for food contact hollowware.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 7086‑2:2000 is recorded as the published second edition from March 2000; ISO records indicate the standard remains published (with ISO life‑cycle stage notes that it may be scheduled for revision). Users should check the latest ISO records or national standards repositories before assuming unchanged status. For the related test method, ISO 7086‑1:2000 has since been superseded by ISO 7086‑1:2019 (updated test method).

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 7086 is a multi‑part series. Part 1 covers the test method (ISO 7086‑1) and Part 2 sets permissible limits; other related ISO standards address release from ceramic and glass‑ceramic articles.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Lead, cadmium, migration, glass hollowware, food contact, permissible limits, acetic acid extraction, ISO 7086.
