Packaging - Rigid plastic containers - PET finish BVS 30H60

This European Standard specifies the design and dimensions of the screw PET finish BVS 30H60 for the closure of wines with CO2 content below 1,2 grams per litre.
This finish is designed to take an aluminium tamper–evident closure with extended skirt which is reformed during application or a screw plastic closure (with or without metallic shell).

Verpackung - Formstabile Kunststoffbehälter - PET-Verschlussmundstück BVS 30H60

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Konstruktion und die Maße für das PET-Schraubverschlussmundstück BVS 30H60 zum Verschluss von Weinen mit einem CO2-Gehalt unter 1,2 g je Liter fest.
Dieses Verschlussmundstück ist ausgelegt für die Aufnahme eines Aluminiumverschlusses mit erweitertem Rand mit Originalitätssicherung, der während des Aufbringens neu geformt wird, oder eines Kunststoff-Schraub¬verschlusses (mit oder ohne Metallkappe).

Emballage - Conteneurs plastiques rigides - Bague PET BVS 30H60

La présente Norme européenne définit la conception et les dimensions de la bague à vis PET BVS 30H60 pour le bouchage des vins dont la teneur en CO2 est inférieure à 1,2 gramme par litre.
Cette bague est prévue pour recevoir une capsule en aluminium avec témoin d’inviolabilité avec jupe longue dont la pose s’effectue par un ré-emboutissage, ou une capsule plastique vissée (avec ou sans capsule métallique).

Embalaža - Toge plastične posode - PET-grla BVS 30H60

Ta dokument določa zasnovo in mere za navojno grlo PET BVS 30H60 za zapiranje embalaže z vinom z vsebnostjo CO2 pod 1,2 grama na liter. Grlu se lahko doda aluminijast čep s podaljšanim obrobkom, ki varuje pred nedovoljenim odpiranjem in ki se med uporabo preoblikuje, ali navojni plastični čep (s kovinskim oklopom ali brez njega).

Overview

SIST EN 16593:2015 is a European Standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) that specifies the design and dimensions of the screw PET finish BVS 30H60. This finish is intended for use on rigid plastic containers, specifically for the closure of wines containing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels below 1.2 grams per litre. The standard defines the specifications necessary to ensure secure sealing with either an aluminium tamper-evident closure with an extended skirt or a screw plastic closure, with or without a metallic shell.

This standard plays a critical role in packaging, particularly in maintaining product quality, safety, and tamper evidence in wine bottling. By adhering to these specifications, manufacturers ensure compatibility and reliability in closures, preventing leakage and preserving the characteristics of carbonated wine wines.

Key Topics

• Scope: Specifies design and dimensional requirements for PET finish BVS 30H60 used in screw closures for wines with limited CO2 content.
• Closure Compatibility: Designed for aluminum tamper-evident closures with extended skirts and screw plastic closures, either with or without a metallic shell.
• Design Dimensions: Includes detailed dimensions and thread profiles critical for ensuring proper sealing and closure fit.
• Sealing Requirements: Emphasizes smooth sealing surfaces free from defects or flash in the sealing area for optimum tightness and leak prevention.
• Support Ledge Requirement: Specifies structural support if the bottle’s vertical load resistance is below 120 daN, ensuring mechanical stability during handling.
• Thread Run-Off: Defines the transition area of the thread run-out, crucial to closure application and integrity.
• Quality Control: Limits flash outside the sealing area to a maximum of 0.13 mm per side and allows sink marks only in non-sealing areas.

These key elements ensure that the PET finish meets demanding tolerances and functional requirements, supporting enhanced packaging performance and consumer safety.

Applications

SIST EN 16593:2015 is applied primarily in the packaging industry, specifically for:

• Wine Bottling: Ensuring secure sealing of wines with CO2 content below 1.2 g/l to maintain product quality, freshness, and carbonation.
• Plastic Container Manufacturing: Guiding manufacturers in producing PET bottle finishes compatible with multiple closure types.
• Tamper-Evident Packaging: Supporting the use of tamper-evident aluminum closures with extended skirts to provide clear consumer protection.
• Quality Assurance Programs: Establishing uniform standards that reduce packaging defects and leakage risks in the wine packaging supply chain.

This standard is especially valuable for packaging engineers, bottle manufacturers, and closure producers aiming to ensure consistency and compliance with European packaging regulations.

Related Standards

SIST EN 16593:2015 aligns with and references other key standards along with international guidelines:

• CE.T.I.E. Data Sheet GME 30.27 (2010): The foundational technical document providing specifications for PET finish BVS 30H60.
• Other CEN Packaging Standards: Standards related to rigid plastic containers and closures which complement EN 16593 by covering other bottle finishes or materials.
• Food Contact Material Regulations: Implicitly related to ensure materials and finishes comply with food safety legislation in Europe.
• Tamper-Evident Packaging Standards: Associated standards governing tamper-evident closure design and testing which complement the functional requirements of this finish.

By adhering to SIST EN 16593:2015 and related packaging standards, manufacturers and stakeholders enhance product reliability, regulatory compliance, and customer satisfaction in the bottled wine market.
