What is ISO 6486-1 -   Test methods for release of lead and cadmium from ceramic ware, glass-ceramic ware ?

ISO 6486-1 specifies exposure to lead and cadmium released from ceramics and glassware intended to come into contact with food. ISO 6486-1 specifies a test method for the release of lead and cadmium from ceramic ware, glass-ceramic ware, and glass dinnerware intended to be used in contact with food but excluding vitreous and porcelain enamel articles (covered by ISO 4531). Note 1: ISO 6486-1 is applicable to ceramic ware, glass-ceramic ware, and glass dinnerware which is intended to be used for the preparation, cooking, serving, and storage of food and beverages, excluding all articles used in food manufacturing industries or in which food is sold. Note 2: ISO 6486-1 specifies that all repeat-use articles are tested three times with fresh extraction solution and the results of the third test reported for conformity with the permissible limits. It has been demonstrated that metal release into the third extraction is always less than the release into the first extraction.
