Packaging - Rigid plastic containers - PET finish 26/22 (12,0)

This European Standard specifies the design and dimensions of the 26 mm screw finish with three thread starts for flat waters and non-carbonated beverages.
This finish can be used for aseptic filling and filling with introduction of nitrogen (internal overpressure inferior to 1 bar max).
The dimension (12,0) is the height in millimetres from the top of finish to the bottom of the support ledge.
This finish is designed to accept a tamper evident plastic closure only. During first opening, the tamper evident band will separate from the closure shell and stay on a one way bottle neck or like bottles in the returnable market the tamper evident band will tear but will remain connected to the closure shell.

Verpackung - Formstabile Kunststoffbehälter - PET-Verschlussmundstück 26/22 (12,0)

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Konstruktion und die Maße für ein 26-mm-Schraubverschlussmundstück mit drei Gewindegängen für stilles Wasser und kohlensäurefreie Getränke fest.
Dieses Verschlussmundstück kann zur aseptischen Befüllung und zur Befüllung mit Stickstoffeinleitung (innerer Überdruck höchstens 1 bar) verwendet werden.
Das Maß (12,0) ist die Höhe, in Millimeter, von der Oberkante des Verschlussmundstückes bis zur Unterseite des Halsstützrings.
Dieses Verschlussmundstück ist dafür ausgelegt, ausschließlich Kunststoffverschlüsse mit Originalitäts-sicherung aufzunehmen. Während des ersten Öffnens wird das Originalitätssicherungsband von der Verschlusskappe getrennt und bleibt bei einer Einwegflasche auf dem Flaschenhals zurück oder es reißt bei Mehrwegflaschen, bleibt aber mit der Verschlusskappe verbunden.

Emballage - Conteneurs plastiques rigides - Bague PET 26/22 (12,0)

Le présent document définit la conception et les dimensions de la bague à vis de 26 mm à trois (3) filets pour le bouchage des eaux plates et boissons non carbonatées.
La bague peut être utilisée pour le conditionnement en milieu aseptique et/ou avec injection d'azote (surpression interne inférieure à 1 bar).
La dimension (12,0) est la hauteur totale de la bague, en millimètres.
Cette bague est prévue pour recevoir uniquement une capsule plastique avec témoin d'inviolabilité, ou bande de garantie. Lors de la première ouverture, le témoin d’inviolabilité se séparera de la capsule et restera sur la bouteille dans les cas d'utilisation d'une bouteille jetable ou, en cas d'utilisation de bouteilles retournables, le témoin d’inviolabilité se déchirera mais restera solidaire de la capsule.

Embalaža - Toge plastične posode - PET-grla 26/22 (12,0)

Ta dokument določa zasnovo in mere za navojno grlo s premerom 26 mm in trojnim začetkom navoja za negazirano vodo in negazirane napitke.  To grlo je mogoče uporabljati za aseptično polnjenje in polnjenje z dodajanjem dušika (notranji nadtlak nižji od največ 1 bara).  Mera (12,0) je višina v milimetrih od vrha grla do dna podpornega okrajka. Grlu se lahko doda le plastičen čep, ki varuje pred nedovoljenim odpiranjem. Pri prvem odpiranju se obroček, ki varuje pred nedovoljenim odpiranjem, loči od lupine čepa in ostane na grlu steklenice ali pa se, kot pri povratnih steklenicah, pretrga, vendar ostane pritrjen na lupino čepa.

Overview

EN 16594:2014 is a European packaging standard specifying the design and dimensions for the PET finish 26/22 (12,0) used on rigid plastic containers. It covers a 26 mm screw finish with three thread starts (120° apart) intended for flat waters and non‑carbonated beverages. The finish is designed for use with tamper evident plastic closures and is suitable for aseptic filling and filling with nitrogen (internal overpressure < 1 bar). The dimension (12,0) denotes the height in millimetres from the top of the finish to the bottom of the support ledge.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Finish design and dimensions: Drawings and dimensional requirements are defined for the preform finish, including thread crest and root diameters, control diameter and support ledge.
• Thread geometry: Three thread starts, 120° apart, with a lead of 6.5 mm and specified thread run‑in/run‑out radii (R 6.25 mm).
• Sealing and tolerances: The finish is a top, side and inside seal. Surface must be smooth and free of defects that could cause leaks or pressure loss. Flash limits: max 0.13 mm per side on the preform (one side up to 0.15 mm step allowed on blown bottle).
• Critical dimensions: Height X = 12.0 mm (top of finish to bottom of support ledge); specified control diameter at top of finish; maximum blown bottle diameter under support ledge ≤ 24.75 mm. Weight on 12.0 mm height provided for preform (density basis).
• Tamper‑evident closure behavior: Finish is intended for closures with a tamper‑evident band that separates on first opening and either remains on a one‑way neck or, for returnable bottles, tears but stays connected to the closure shell.
• Capping/capping equipment: Requires correct machine adjustment and maintenance for reliable closure application; limits for out‑of‑parallel sealing surface (≤ 0.13 mm) and thread mismatch (≤ 0.10 mm at mould seam).

Applications and users

• Useful for bottle and closure designers, preform and bottle manufacturers, filling line engineers, and quality/control laboratories involved with water and non‑carbonated beverage packaging.
• Applies to manufacturers specifying closures for aseptic and nitrogen‑charged filling lines, and to bottlers requiring standardized neck finishes for interchangeability and leak‑proof performance.
• Also relevant for recyclers and returnable bottle systems because of specified tamper‑band behavior.

Related standards

• Based on CE.T.I.E. data sheet GME 30.28 (2011).
• Prepared by CEN/TC 261 “Packaging” and published as a CEN European Standard (EN 16594:2014).
