Overview

EN 60264-2-3:1994 (CLC) specifies requirements for non-returnable cylindrical barrelled delivery spools made from thermoplastic material used in the packaging of winding wires. The standard defines the expected characteristics for single-use thermoplastic spools to ensure consistent handling, protection and compatibility with wire winding, storage and transport. It is part of the EN 60264 series addressing packaging for winding wires and is reflected in national adoptions (for example SIST EN 60264-2-3:2001).

Key topics and requirements

While the full standard contains precise clauses, the document focuses on core aspects typically required for delivery spools, including:

• Material specification: use of thermoplastic materials suited to mechanical handling and contact with winding wires.
• Geometric features: cylindrical barrelled core shape and related dimensional characteristics to ensure correct winding and unwinding.
• Mechanical performance: strength and durability for transport, handling and stacking during distribution.
• Tolerances and fit: dimensional tolerances that affect compatibility with winding equipment and axles.
• Marking and identification: requirements for spool markings to indicate part identification, material, capacity or handling instructions.
• Protection and compatibility: considerations for wire insulation protection, prevention of contamination or damage during transit.
• Storage and disposal guidance: recommendations for storage conditions and end-of-life handling of non-returnable thermoplastic spools.

Note: This summary highlights topical areas; consult the official EN 60264-2-3 text for specific clauses and numerical requirements.

Applications and who uses this standard

EN 60264-2-3 is relevant for organizations involved in the manufacture, procurement and use of wound conductive or insulating wires:

• Wire and cable manufacturers specifying packaging to protect products and to ensure compatibility with automated processes.
• Spool manufacturers and plastics molders producing non-returnable thermoplastic delivery spools.
• Procurement and quality assurance teams verifying supplier compliance and performance for packaging materials.
• Logistics and distribution operators handling, storing and transporting reels for domestic or international shipments.
• Equipment integrators designing winding/unwinding machines that interface with standard spool geometries.

Related standards

• Other parts of the EN 60264 series covering different spool types, returnable spools or alternative materials.
• National adoptions and translations (e.g., SIST EN 60264-2-3:2001).
• ICS classifications: 29.060.10 (Wires) and 55.060 (Spools, Bobbins).
