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 20848-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 122, Packaging.ISO 20848 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics drums:
Part 1: Removable head (open head) drums with a nominal capacity of 113,6 l to 220 l
Part 2: Non-removable head (tight head) drums with a nominal capacity of 208,2 l and 220 l
Part 3: Plug/bung closure systems for plastics drums with a nominal capacity of 113,6 l to 220 l

ISO/DIS 20848-1
Introduction
Throughout the world a large number of plastics drums types with different dimensions and characteristics are
being used. The differences of the minimum filling opening and outer dimensions result in differences in filling,
handling and transportation.This standard specifies the characteristics and dimensions of 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 include as they depend upon
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 upon the mode of transport, this
means meeting the requirements of: UN (United Nations) – Recommendations on the transport of dangerous goods.
ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) – Technical Instructions for safe transport of dangerous
goods by air. IMO (International Maritime Organisation) – International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.
This involves the certification and marking of the drums according to the regulations.
