Overview

EN 16285:2021 - Packaging - Flexible aluminium tubes - Test method to measure the deformation of the aluminium tube body (Guillotine test) is a CEN standard that specifies a reproducible laboratory method to quantify body deformation of cylindrical aluminium tubes. Applicable to tubes used for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, hygiene, food and other domestic and industrial products, this standard (adopted as SIST EN 16285:2022 in Slovenia) replaces EN 16285:2013 and was approved in November 2021.

Keywords: EN 16285:2021, guillotine test, flexible aluminium tubes, aluminium tube deformation, packaging standard, CEN.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope: Defines a single test method (Guillotine test) to measure tube-body deformation for cylindrical aluminium tubes (empty, room temperature).
  • Testing equipment: Detailed apparatus with a prism-shaped support, limit stop, guide groove, scale (0–120 mm) and a lockable drop weight mechanism. Key parameters specified in the standard:
    • Drop height: (115 ± 1) mm
    • Guide groove width: 53 mm
    • Drop weight total mass options: (25 ± 0.1) g or (75 ± 0.1) g
    • Distance between drop weight and limit stop: 32 mm for tube diameters > 13.5 mm; 20 mm for diameters 9.8 mm, 11 mm and 13.5 mm
  • Deformation criteria: Table of nominal diameters with associated minimum/maximum deformation values (see Table 1 in the standard). Values cover a wide range of tube diameters and account for tubes with and without internal lacquer; tighter tolerances require supplier/user agreement.
  • Procedure: Place empty tube in prism support against limit stop, raise and lock the drop weight, release to compress the tube; read deformation directly from the scale.
  • Test report requirements: Must include reference to EN 16285:2021, batch and tube identification, production date, sample size and defects, test results, influencing factors or deviations, and tester/date/place.

Applications and who uses it

  • Quality control laboratories performing routine acceptance testing of aluminium tubes.
  • Tube manufacturers and converters verifying compliance with deformation tolerances during production or prior to shipment.
  • Packaging engineers and R&D teams evaluating design changes (wall thickness, lacquer) that affect crush resistance and appearance.
  • Procurement and supplier QA for supplier audits, incoming inspection, and contractual specifications in pharma, cosmetics, food and hygiene sectors.
  • Regulatory and compliance teams ensuring packaging integrity and consistency across batches.

Related standards

  • Supersedes: EN 16285:2013.
  • Prepared by CEN/TC 261 (Packaging). Users should consult national implementations (e.g., SIST EN 16285:2022) and consider complementary packaging and materials standards from CEN and ISO when specifying full tube performance and acceptance criteria.
