A validation study was performed on the modified analytical method for the migration solution of heptane, 20% ethanol and 4% acetic acid for the determination of bisphenol A migrating from polycarbonate food apparatuses, containers, and packaging. The analytes for the method were bisphenol A, phenol and p-tert-butylphenol. The repeatability, within-laboratory reproducibility and trueness of the method was estimated in the range of 0.2–1.8%, 0.4–2.6% and 95–102% respectively. These results showed that the method is useful as an analytical method for the migration solution of heptane, 20% ethanol and 4% acetic acid. Furthermore, the applicability of the determination methods with a fluorescence detector was verified. As a result of the validation study, the repeatability, within-laboratory reproducibility and trueness of the method was estimated in the range of 0.1–2.9%, 0.2–3.1% and 94–101% respectively. It was confirmed that the measurement with a fluorescence detector is also available.
