Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

Introduction
Throughout the world, a large number of plastics drum types with different dimensions and
characteristics are being used. The differences in types of closures can result in differences in filling
and handling.
This document specifies the characteristics and dimensions of closures for plastics drums which are of
importance for the worldwide safe handling and transport of substances and for the continued reuse of
the drums during their life cycle. Detailed performance requirements and the related test methods are
not included as they depend on the specific application.
Where the drums are intended to be used for the transport of dangerous goods, attention is drawn to
the regulatory requirements which govern the transport of those goods in the countries concerned,
including capseals/overseals fitted in accordance with the certificate. Depending on the mode of
transport, this means meeting the requirements of:
— UN (United Nations) — Recommendations on the Transport of Dange
