Foreword
This document (EN 14768:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 261
“Packaging”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2005, and conflicting national standards
shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2005.
The work was carried out in close cooperation with the European Association of Fibreboard Drum
Manufacturers (S.E.F.F.I.) which prepared the draft proposal.
Efficient packaging is of great importance for the distribution and the protection of goods. Insufficient
or inappropriate packaging can lead to damage or wastage of the contents of the package.

Introduction
This document is limited to the specification of constructional details and the establishment of a
preferred range of diameters and capacities for fibreboard drums, in recognition of the fact that one of
the important characteristics of fibreboard drums is that they can be produced in various ranges of
diameters and heights with constructions to suit specific products and market needs and can be fitted
with a variety of bases and lids.
1 Scope
This document specifies the construction requirements for cylindrical fibreboard drums with slip on lids
with a nominal capacity of 5 l to 600 l and the preferred range of diameters for drums with a circular
cross-section and preferred dimensions for drums with a rectangular cross section.

4.2 Dimensions for drums of circular cross-section
4.2.1 Nominal internal diameter
The nominal internal diameter is used only to provide a classification of drum diameters.
4.2.2 Internal diameter (d )
The internal diameter (d ), in millimetres, is the internal measurement from the inner sidewall to the
diametrically opposite inner sidewall.
4.2.3 Outside diameter (d )
The outside diameter (overall diameter) (d ), in millimetres, is the measurement over the widest part of
the drum.
4.3 Dimensions for drums of rectangular cross-section
4.3.1 Internal section (d and d )

The internal dimension (d ) or (d ), in millimetres, is the internal measurement taken from inner face to
3 5
inner face of opposite sidewalls.
4.3.2 Outside section (d and d )
4 6
The outside dimension, (d ) or (d ) in millimetres, is the measurement over the widest part, between
4 6
opposite outer faces of the drum.
4.4 Height and depth
4.4.1 Internal height (h )
The internal height (h ), in millimetres, is the height from the inner surface of the drum base to the top
of the drum sidewall.
4.4.2 Stacking height (h ) for drums with interstacking feature
The external height (h ), in millimetres, is the height from the lowest point of the drum to the top

4.7.3 Other capacities
Other capacities are available by arrangement between purchaser and supplier.
5 Materials
5.1 Sidewall
The sidewall of the drum shall consist either of convolutely or spirally wound plies of virgin or recycled
paper or fibreboard, firmly bonded together.
NOTE The sidewall may incorporate one or more layers of protective material (internal or external - lining /
barrier) the type and number of which are determined by specification details.
5.2 Base and lid
The base and lid shall be manufactured from any single or composite material.
NOTE The base and lid may incorporate protective linings or barriers to meet specification requirements.
The base and lid shall be connected to the sidewall in such a way as to give adequate protection to
the contents of the drum.
5.3 Base chimb
The base chimb shall be manufactured from any single or composite material and shall be secured to
the sidewall by pressing, rolling or other means.
5.4 Internal and external treatments
Any internal or external treatment such as a lining, a liner, or coating, shall be made of a material
compatible with the contents of the drum and suitable for the intended use of the drum as notified by
the purchaser (see Annex C).
5.5 Barrier
A barrier shall be made of multiple or single ply material, incorporated into the sidewall, lid and base of
the drum to resist the transmission of gas or vapour into, or out of the drum.
6 Requirements for material identification symbols
All drums shall carry the relevant material identification code printed on to the lowest possible point of
the external sidewal
