Overview

EN 13029:2009 is a CEN European Standard for light‑gauge metal packaging that specifies the dimensions and profile of apertures for plug‑in plastic closures. It covers round and non‑round metal containers with a nominal wall thickness equal to or less than 0.49 mm. The standard replaces EN 13029:2001 and defines two closure/piercing types (Type A and Type B) with detailed dimensional and profile requirements to ensure reliable fit, assembly and performance.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope: Aperture geometry for plug‑in plastic closures in metal containers (nominal wall thickness ≤ 0.49 mm).
• Two piercing types:
  • Type A - closure clips into the lid at the same level as the lid; simpler piercing technology, wider production window, but higher residual product in the empty container.
  • Type B - elevated piercing position so the clipped portion is level with the lid surface; enables improved emptying and reduced residue (available as stackable and non‑stackable variants).
• Dimensional parameters specified: internal diameter (d1), external diameter (d2), skirt depth (h1), height (h2), skirt angle, radius (R), and metal thickness (s). The standard includes tables of nominal diameters (examples: 12, 24, 27, 32, 42, 57 mm) with tolerances and profile details.
• Manufacturing and quality requirements:
  • Minimize burr at the piercing diameter to avoid leakage.
  • Sheet thickness, hardness and shape around the aperture must prevent deformation under axial load during closure insertion.
  • Recommended sheet thickness: 0.25 mm ≤ s ≤ 0.49 mm and material quality per EN 10202 (TH 245 to TS 435).
• Notes: External diameter values for Type A are minimums and the area within d2 must be flat to receive the plastic closure.

Practical applications and users

EN 13029:2009 is used to ensure interchangeability, leak tightness and functional performance of plastic closures in metal packaging. Typical users:

• Metal can and tinplate manufacturers (tooling and die design)
• Plastic closure designers and suppliers
• Fillers and packers who source closures and containers from different suppliers
• Quality and testing laboratories (including packaging assessments for carriage of dangerous goods)
• Packaging engineers and specifications authors ensuring compliance and compatibility

Related standards

• EN 10202 - cold reduced tinmill products (material specifications referenced)
• EN 13025-1 - nominal filling volumes for round containers
• EN 13026 - nominal filling volumes for non‑round containers
• EN ISO 90-2 - definitions and determination of dimensions and capacities for light‑gauge metal containers
