EN 13028:2001

Packaging - Light-gauge metal packaging - Round open-top cans for beverage products with added gas, defined by their nominal filling volumes

The aim of this European standard is to define the nominal filling volumes and the nominal diameters of cans for liquid products with added gas. It is based upon ISO 10654. Light-gauge metal containers defiined by their nominal gross-lidded capacity are the subject of another European Standard.

Verpackungen - Feinstblechverpackungen - Runde Falzdeckeldosen für Getränke mit Kohlensäure, gekennzeichnet durch deren Nennfüllvolumina

Es ist das Ziel dieser europäischen Norm, die Nennfüllvolumen und die Nenndurchmesser der Dosen für Getränke mit Kohlensäure festzulegen. Basis dieser Norm ist ISO 10654. Feinstblechverpackungen, die durch ihr Nennbehältnisvolumen definiert sind, sind in einer anderen europäischen Norm erfaßt.

Emballage - Emballages métalliques légers - Boîtes rondes serties pour produits liquides avec addition de gaz, définies par leur volume nominal de remplissage

La présente norme européenne a pour objet de définir les capacités nominales de remplissage ainsi que les diamètres nominaux des boîtes pour produits liquides avec addition de gaz. Elle a été établie à partir de la norme ISO 10654. Les boîtes rondes serties définies par leur capacité totale nominale font l'objet d'une autre norme européenne.

Overview - EN 13028:2001 (Packaging - Light-gauge metal packaging)

EN 13028:2001 is a CEN European standard that specifies the nominal filling volumes and nominal diameters for round open-top, light‑gauge metal cans intended for beverage products with added gas (carbonated or other pressurized liquids). The standard is based on ISO 10654 and provides a common framework for sizing and identifying round, open-top beverage cans where the can is characterized by its nominal filling volume rather than gross lidded capacity.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and definitions
  • Defines the class of containers covered: round, open-top light‑gauge metal cans for beverages with added gas.
  • Establishes terminology for nominal filling volume and nominal diameter.
• Nominal sizes
  • Specifies the nominal filling-volume categories and the corresponding nominal diameters used to identify can types (designation by filling volume rather than gross capacity).
• Interchangeability and compatibility
  • Provides a sizing basis to support compatibility between can manufacturers, filling equipment and closures.
• Reference to ISO
  • Based on ISO 10654, ensuring alignment with established international practices for beverage can sizing.
• Limits of the standard
  • Does not cover light‑gauge metal containers defined by nominal gross-lidded capacity-those are addressed in a separate European standard.

(Note: EN 13028:2001 is primarily a dimensional/nominal sizing standard; it does not specify manufacturing methods, material grades or performance test methods.)

Applications - who uses EN 13028:2001

• Can manufacturers - to produce round open-top cans to common nominal size designations.
• Beverage producers and contract fillers - to select compatible can formats and ensure filling-line compatibility for carbonated beverages.
• Filling equipment and closure suppliers - to design tooling, seaming heads and closure equipment that match nominal diameters and volumes.
• Packaging designers and procurement teams - for specification, procurement and interchangeability of can formats across markets.
• Standards bodies and conformity assessors - to harmonize dimensional requirements with ISO guidance.

Related standards

• ISO 10654 - international standard on which EN 13028 is based (for nominal filling volumes/dimensions).
• Other European standards addressing light‑gauge metal containers defined by nominal gross‑lidded capacity (see CEN catalogue for the exact reference).
