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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 21898 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 122, Packaging, Subcommittee SC 3, Performance
requirements and tests for means of packaging, packages and unit loads.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 21898:2004(E)
Packaging — Flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs) for
non-dangerous goods
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies materials, construction and design requirements, type test, certification
and marking requirements for flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs) intended to contain non-dangerous
solid materials in powder, granular or paste form, and designed to be lifted from above by integral or
detachable devices.
Guidance is also provided on the selection and safe usage of FIBCs.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 12048, Packaging — Complete, filled transport packages — Compression and stacking tests using a
compression tester
ISO 13934-1, Textiles — Tensile properties of fabrics — Part 1: Determination of maximum force and
elongation at maximum force using the strip method
ISO/IEC 17025, General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 General
3.1.1
flexible intermediate bulk container
FIBC
intermediate bulk container having the body made of flexible material such as woven fabric, plastics film or
paper, designed to be in contact with the contents, either directly or through an inner liner, and collapsible
when empty
3.1.2
heavy-duty reusable flexible intermediate bulk container
FIBC designed and intended to be used for a multitude of fillings and discharges, and both factory and field
repairable in such a way that the tensile strength across a repair is at least as great as that of the original
3.1.3
standard-duty reusable flexible intermediate bulk container
FIBC designed and intended to be used for a limited number of fillings and discharges
NOTE 1 An FIBC of this category cannot be reused if damaged, i.e. it is not repairable.
NOTE 2 The replacement of a removable inner liner is not considered a repair.
ISO 21898:2004(E)
3.1.4
single-trip flexible intermediate bulk container
FIBC designed and intended to be used for one filling only
NOTE An FIBC of this category cannot be reused. Neither replacement of an inner liner nor repair of the FIBC is
relevant to this category.
3.1.5
FIBC type
FIBCs of like design, manufactured using like materials and methods of construction (giving at least equal
performance) to the same nominal cross-sectional dimensions
NOTE 1 Within a type, the circumference may be increased by up to 10 % by comparison with samples passing a type
test, provided the same geometry is maintained. Where the type has a base discharge spout, smaller diameter discharge
spouts of like design may be used.
NOTE 2 The presence or absence of an inner liner does not constitute a change of type.
3.1.6
safe working load
SWL
maximum load which the FIBC may carry in service, as certified
3.1.7
safety factor
SF
integer quotient between the final test load in the cyclic top lift test and the SWL value rounded down
NOTE 1 Safety factors may be illustrated as follows (see also B.3.3):
Example 1 Example 2
Designated SWL 500 kg 500 kg
Final load, cyclic test 2 400 kgf 2 600 kgf
Quotient 4,8 5,2
Integer quotient, rounded down 4 5
NOTE 2 The results in Example 1 above indicate a single-trip FIBC which does not meet the requirements of this
International Standard, whilst those in Example 2 indicate a single-trip FIBC which meets the requirements.
3.1.8
lifting device
integral and/or fixed lifting devices which form part of the FIBC and are tested with it
NOTE Detachable lifting devices are regarded as lifting tools.
3.2 FIBC parts
3.2.1
walls
tube of one or more layers, seamless or made out of one or more panels joined together
3.2.2
base
that part of the FIBC which is connected to or integral with the walls and forms th
