Overview
EN 12726:2018 is a European standard published by CEN that specifies the dimensions and requirements for cork mouth finishes with a bore diameter of 18.5 mm. This standard targets packaging applications involving glass bottles sealed with natural corks and tamper-evident capsules. It is specifically intended for wines with carbonation pressures not exceeding 1.2 g CO2/l, ensuring appropriate fit and seal integrity for these beverages.
The standard replaces the earlier EN 12726:2000 version and aligns closely with industry requirements for cork stoppers as described in ISO 3863. By defining precise dimensions and tolerances, EN 12726:2018 facilitates uniform compatibility between corks, capsules, and glass bottles, thereby enhancing the safety, effectiveness, and quality of bottled wine packaging.
Key Topics
- Dimensional Specifications: The mouth finish is required to have a bore diameter of 18.5 mm with strict tolerances on ovality (max 0.5 mm) and internal profiles to ensure proper sealing and easy application of corks and capsules.
- Compatibility and Fit: The standard references ISO 3863 for nominal cork stopper dimensions to maintain an optimal fit and seal between cork and finish.
- Technical Parameters:
- Minimum bore through-hole diameter of 17.5 mm, accommodating filling tubes up to 16 mm in diameter.
- Maximum 1 mm difference allowed between mean internal diameter and mean entry bore diameter.
- Requirements on diameters d1, d2, d4 corresponding to different sections of the finish, ensuring adapted profiles for glass bottle manufacturing and closure performance.
- Material and Application Scope: Applicable exclusively to natural cork closures and tamper-evident capsules for glass bottles intended for wines with controlled carbonation pressure.
- Normative References: EN 22768-1 (tolerances for linear/angular dimensions) and ISO 3863 (cylindrical cork stopper characteristics).
Applications
EN 12726:2018 plays a critical role in the wine packaging industry by standardizing glass bottle mouth finishes to optimize sealing with natural corks and protective capsules. Its main applications include:
- Wine Bottling Lines: Ensures ease of cork insertion and capsule fitting while preventing cork damage, bottle leakage, or spoilage.
- Quality Control: Provides a reliable basis for manufacturers to test compliance, reducing packaging failures and improving shelf-life.
- Tamper Evidence: Supports capsules designed to reveal attempted access, enhancing product safety and consumer confidence.
- Packaging Design: Enables bottle and cork manufacturers to coordinate dimensions precisely, lowering production costs and waste.
- Distribution and Storage: A standardized finish helps maintain wine quality during transport by limiting carbonation loss and contamination.
Related Standards
- ISO 3863: Cylindrical cork stoppers - Dimensional characteristics, sampling, packaging, and marking. EN 12726 references this standard to harmonize cork dimensions with the mouth finish for secure sealing.
- EN 22768-1: General tolerances for linear and angular dimensions without individual tolerance indications. Used by EN 12726 to define acceptable tolerances on mouth finish dimensions.
- Cetie GME 50.1 (1992): The basis for EN 12726, providing initial technical guidelines for bottling and packaging neck finishes.
- Other Packaging Standards by CEN/TC 261: Related packaging design and testing standards ensuring overall safety and functionality in wine and beverage containers.
