Overview

SIST EN 17098-2:2018 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies a method for determining the gas permeability of thermoplastic barrier films used in agricultural and horticultural soil disinfection by fumigation. This part of the EN 17098 series focuses on the static technique for measuring film permeability, providing essential guidelines for testing and verifying the effectiveness of barrier films designed to contain fumigants during soil treatment processes.

This standard is critical in ensuring the reliable performance of barrier films in preventing gas leakage, which directly affects soil disinfection efficiency and environmental safety. It is applicable across the agricultural sector, particularly for films designed to control the emission of fumigant gases.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application:
  Applicable to thermoplastic barrier films used for soil disinfection in agricultural and horticultural fumigation processes. It outlines a static test method for evaluating gas permeability.

• Test Principle:
  The film specimen acts as a sealed barrier between two chambers of a transmission cell. A test gas is introduced to one chamber and permitted to permeate through the film. Concentrations in both chambers are monitored over time using gas chromatography to calculate the mass transfer coefficient.

• Test Gases Supported:

  • 1,3-Dichloropropene
  • Dimethyl disulphide (DMDS)
  • Methyl isothiocyanate (MITC)
  • Chloropicrin (PIC)
    The method accommodates other gases if compatibility is verified.

• Apparatus Requirements:

  • Transmission cell with two airtight chambers (120–150 mm diameter, 40–60 mm height)
  • Temperature-controlled environment to maintain consistent test conditions
  • Gas chromatograph for accurate analysis of gas concentrations
  • VOC-meter for leak detection

• Test Conditions:

  • Typical atmospheres at 25 ± 2 °C with relative humidity of either 95 ± 5% or 50 ± 10%
  • Conditioning of specimens and test chamber for at least 24 hours before testing

• Calculation Method:
  The mass transfer coefficient (h) quantifies gas permeability and is calculated mathematically based on concentration changes over time in the source and receiving chambers.

• Acceptance and Reporting:
  At least three test specimens are evaluated, with results averaged to assess conformity with agreed permeability criteria. Detailed test reports are required.

Applications

SIST EN 17098-2:2018 primarily serves manufacturers, quality control laboratories, and regulatory bodies involved in:

• Soil fumigation processes that require effective containment of fumigant gases to enhance pest and pathogen control while minimizing environmental emissions.
• Development and certification of barrier films used in agriculture to ensure compliance with performance standards for permeability.
• Environmental compliance and safety assurance by quantifying permeability characteristics to prevent fumigant leakage during soil disinfection.
• Quality assurance testing for thermoplastic films used in agricultural mulching and soil treatment applications.

This method supports sustainability goals by promoting the use of high-performance films that optimize fumigant retention and reduce off-gassing, thereby protecting human health and the environment.
