February 10, 1992 Pat Tully D/5429 RE: GEON 86153 TRANS 002/MILK TUBING APPLICATION The 3A Dairy Standard #20-14 as amended is used to evaluate plastic materials for multiple use as product contact surfaces for dairy equipment. Test criteria are provided as a means of determining acceptance of a plastic as to cleanability, sanitizing and maintenance of essential properties under repeated use conditions. The tests employed include immersion in aqueous solutions of acid and alkaline cleaners, chlorinated and nonchlorinated sanitizers, simulated dairy-soil and simulated dairy products. There are separate specifications for each test and each polymer type. It is up to the manufacturers to test, or have tested, his product and to certify to the 3A Standards Committee that the product complies with the standard(s) The raw materials which go into these applications must comply with FDA requirements. I have reviewed the recipes for the above compound and identified its applicable FDA clearances. All of the ingredients have FDA clearance either by being Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS), Prior Sanctioned, or by listing under specific sections of 21CFR 177-178 for indirect food additives. The manufacturer must guarantee that total tin not exceed 50 ppm as a migrant in finished lead. If you have further questions or want to pursue testing, please give me a call (Ext. 7831). Connie N.
