    In October 2022, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) published a proposal to update the standards
    for ionomer resins in contact with food, pharmaceuticals and drinking water.
    The draft standard outlines requirements
    for the use, migration, storage, sampling and testing procedures of certain ionomer resins.

    BIS recommends a total migration limit of 60 mg/kg
    for food.
    For small FCSs with potentially high surface area-to-volume ratios, including many food packages with a volume of less than 250 ml or containers consisting of sheets, foils and other non-fillable items, the total migration limit will be limited to 10 mg/dm2
    .

    The original standard for ionomer resins was published by BIS in 1985 and interested parties have until December 6, 2022 to comment on the proposed update to
    this article.

    In August 2022, India updated the total migration limits for antimony (CAS 7440-36-0) and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (phthalic acid, DEHP, CAS 117-81-7) in plastic food packaging
    .
