Overview

EN ISO 13132:2023 / ISO 13132:2023 specifies requirements and test methods for glass Petri dishes intended for general laboratory use and microbiological work. Adopted by CEN as EN ISO 13132:2023, this second edition updates the 2011 version and aligns dimensional, material and performance requirements for Petri dishes used in routine culture work, quality control and laboratory supply.

Key Topics

• Scope and purpose: Requirements and tests for glass Petri dishes for laboratory and microbiological applications.
• Types: Two types are defined - Type 1 (thick‑walled) and Type 2 (thin‑walled).
• Nominal sizes: Standard nominal diameters include 40, 50, 60, 80, 90, 100, 120, 150, 180 and 200 mm.
• Series and material classes:
  • Series A and Series B: for hydrolytic resistance HGB 1 or HGB 2 glass (per ISO 719).
  • Series C: new in 2023, for HGB 3 glass.
• Dimensions and tolerances: Precise dimensional tables (Series A, B, C) specify internal/external diameters, heights and wall thicknesses for bottom and top dishes.
• Designation format: Standardized naming (e.g., Petri dish ISO 13132 - 120 × 20 - 1A) to unambiguously identify size, type and series.
• Construction and performance:
  • Requirements for base, side, edge and bottom flatness.
  • Thermal shock resistance test methods added in this edition (referencing ISO 718).
  • Glass quality: transparent, low residual strain, free from defects and pronounced tint.
• Marking and identification: Mandatory marking practices for traceability.
• Normative references: ISO 718 (thermal shock tests) and ISO 719 (hydrolytic resistance classification).

Applications

EN ISO 13132:2023 is used by:

• Manufacturers of laboratory glassware to design, produce and certify compliant Petri dishes.
• Laboratory procurement and quality managers who specify equipment for microbiology, culture work and routine testing.
• Testing and inspection laboratories that perform dimensional, hydrolytic and thermal-shock tests.
• Regulatory bodies and accreditation entities comparing products against recognized international requirements. Practical uses include standardizing product ranges, ensuring compatibility of lids and bases (Series B pairing tolerances), and selecting appropriate hydrolytic class for specific microbiological assays.

Related Standards

• ISO 718 - Laboratory glassware: thermal shock and endurance test methods.
• ISO 719 - Glass: hydrolytic resistance of glass grains at 98 °C - method and classification.
• CEN adoption: EN ISO 13132:2023 (identical text endorsed for European national standards).

Keywords: EN ISO 13132:2023, ISO 13132, Petri dishes, laboratory glassware, hydrolytic resistance, thermal shock resistance, Series A B C, Type 1 Type 2, microbiological work.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
