Part VII Alternative Fat Tests for Overall and Specific Migration

3.  The migration tests referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 are—

(a) a test carried out using volatile media including isooctane, ethanol 95%, other volatile solvents or a mixture of solvents at such contact conditions as would result in values equal or greater than those obtained in a test using simulant D;

(b) other tests using media having a very strong extraction power under very severe test conditions where, on the basis of scientific evidence, it is generally recognised that the results using these tests are equal to or higher than those obtained in a test using simulant D.
