Overview

ISO 9100-4:2005 is an international standard that specifies the dimensions and design requirements for vacuum lug finishes with a nominal size of 38 mm medium, specifically designed for wide-mouth glass containers. Developed by ISO in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), this standard is part of a broader series under ISO 9100 that addresses various vacuum lug finish sizes and types for glass packaging.

The importance of this standard lies in its role in ensuring compatibility, quality, and safety of glass containers used for vacuum sealing. Properly designed vacuum lug finishes are critical for maintaining vacuum integrity, protecting contents from contamination, and facilitating efficient packaging and distribution.

Key Topics

• Dimension Specifications: ISO 9100-4:2005 details precise measurements including diameters, thread parameters, and leads necessary for the 38 mm medium vacuum lug finish. Tolerances follow ISO 2768-1 to ensure consistent manufacturing quality.
• Thread and Seal Design: Features a specific thread construction and sealing surface requirements. The standard mandates sharp, perpendicular stop faces for optimal cap stopping function and defect-free sealing surfaces to avoid leakage.
• Quality Requirements: Emphasizes minimizing ovality in finish diameters and maintaining concentricity of critical dimensions to ensure proper vacuum performance.
• Interoperability: The standard supports compatibility with corresponding caps and closures, facilitating interchangeability and reducing packaging errors.
• Technical Collaboration: Based on CE.T.I.E. (International Technical Centre for Bottling and Packaging) data, this document reflects collaboration among industry experts for practical packaging solutions.

Applications

ISO 9100-4:2005 is essential for manufacturers, designers, and quality controllers involved in the production and use of wide-mouth glass containers that require vacuum sealing. Common applications include:

• Food and Beverage Packaging: Ensures airtight sealing for products such as preserves, sauces, and beverages, extending shelf life and preserving quality.
• Pharmaceutical Containers: Provides secure vacuum seals for glass containers used in medicinal products, protecting contents from contamination.
• Cosmetics Packaging: Maintains product integrity by preventing air exposure in jars and pots.
• Industrial Use: Supports packaging strategies where vacuum sealing in glass containers enhances product safety and user convenience.

Using ISO 9100-4:2005 helps optimize packaging processes, improve supply chain efficiency, and comply with international quality standards.

Related Standards

The ISO 9100 series includes multiple parts, each addressing different sizes or variations of vacuum lug finishes for glass containers, such as:

• ISO 9100-1: General requirements for vacuum lug finishes
• ISO 9100-2: 33 medium finish specifications
• ISO 9100-3: 38 regular finish specifications
• ISO 9100-5 to ISO 9100-14: Specifications for other finish sizes ranging from 43 mm up to 110 mm in various depths and profiles

Additionally, related standards like ISO 2768-1 define general tolerances critical to ensuring dimensional accuracy in manufacturing these finishes.

Summary

Adhering to ISO 9100-4:2005 guarantees precise dimensional standards for 38 mm medium vacuum lug finishes, promoting quality, safety, and compatibility in wide-mouth glass container packaging. It supports efficient vacuum sealing essential for protecting a variety of products across industries. Manufacturers and stakeholders benefit from harmonized design criteria that facilitate global trade and product integrity.

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 9100-4 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 261, Packaging, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 63, Glass containers, in
accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
