Overview

EN 60264-3-3:1994 (SIST EN 60264-3-3:2001) is a CLC European standard that specifies the requirements for non-returnable taper barrelled delivery spools made from thermoplastic material used for packaging winding wires. The standard addresses design, construction and performance aspects to ensure safe, repeatable handling, transport and dispensing of wire and similar products on single-use plastic spools.

Keywords: EN 60264-3-3, packaging of winding wires, taper barrelled delivery spools, non-returnable spools, thermoplastic spools, CLC.

Key Topics

The standard focuses on technical and quality requirements typically including:

• Material specification: acceptable thermoplastic types, basic material properties and considerations for durability and compatibility with winding wires.
• Geometric features: taper barrelled core shape, flange and hub dimensions and tolerances to ensure fit with winding/dispensing equipment.
• Mechanical performance: structural strength, impact and stacking resistance necessary for handling, shipping and automated processes.
• Marking and identification: mandatory information on spools (type, dimensions, batch/lot identification) to support traceability.
• Packaging and handling: recommendations for how spools should be packed for transport and storage to avoid deformation or contamination.
• Quality and testing: general test methods and inspection criteria to verify conformance (visual checks, dimensional control, functional tests).
• Environmental and safety considerations: guidance on recyclability, safe disposal and behaviour under storage conditions (temperature, humidity).

Note: The standard itself defines specific requirements and measurement methods; users should consult the full EN 60264-3-3 document for clause-level details.

Applications

Who uses this standard and why:

• Wire and cable manufacturers specifying single-use thermoplastic spools for delivery and automated winding lines.
• Plastic spool manufacturers designing taper barrelled spools to meet market and equipment compatibility requirements.
• Procurement and quality engineers ensuring purchased spools comply with industry norms and perform consistently in production.
• Logistics and warehousing teams applying packaging standards to reduce transport damage and improve storage efficiency.
• Test laboratories and certification bodies assessing compliance with EN 60264 series requirements.

Practical benefits include improved compatibility with automated dispensing equipment, reduced damage and downtime, consistent traceability, and streamlined supplier specification.
