NOTE   Although not specified in this document there are available suitable automatic film thickness measurement instruments that provide instantaneous results with good accuracy (<1μm).

This document specifies a method to test the orientation of the flip-top cap on flexible cylindrical tubes [1].
It is applicable to aluminium, plastic and laminated tubes used for packing pharmaceutical, cosmetic, hygiene, food and other domestic and industrial products.

This document specifies the requirements and test methods to demonstrate that plastic caps and lids of single-use beverage containers with a capacity of up to three litres remain attached to the container during the product’s intended use stage. This document also addresses the need to ensure the necessary strength, reliability and safety of beverage container closures, including those for carbonated drinks.
This document applies to the strength, reliability and safety impacted by the attachment features and does not apply to the overall closure system.

This document specifies the characteristics, dimensions and finish of the inserted flange-type closure systems used for steel drums.

It is applicable to tubes used for packing pharmaceutical, cosmetic, hygiene, food and other domestic and industrial products.

This document specifies the methodology and procedure for determining the presence and minimization of other dangerous substances in relation with Annex II Para 1 Indent 3 of Directive 94/62/EC. This document is intended to be of practical use, and to enable efficient application of Directive 94/62/EC, even for small and medium-sized companies in the packaging industry, providing them with a methodology for assessing compliance with the Directive.
This document cannot by itself provide presumption of conformity. The procedure for applying this document is contained in EN 13427.

This European Standard specifies the design and dimensions of the 26 mm screw finish with three thread starts for flat waters and non-carbonated beverages.
This finish can be used for aseptic filling and filling with introduction of nitrogen (internal overpressure inferior to 1 bar max).
The dimension (12,0) is the height in millimetres from the top of finish to the bottom of the support ledge.
This finish is designed to accept a tamper evident plastic closure only. During first opening, the tamper evident band will separate from the closure shell and stay on a one way bottle neck or like bottles in the returnable market the tamper evident band will tear but will remain connected to the closure shell.

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).

This International Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for compatibility testing of plastics packagings/Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) and composite packagings/IBCs with plastics inners containing liquids. The testing involves storage with the liquid to be transported. For polyethylene-based packaging, testing with a standard liquid as defined in The European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road may be undertaken. Annex B describes small-scale laboratory tests that may be used to determine the assimilation of those products to be carried with the standard liquids. Where there is any contradiction between this International Standard and any applicable regulation, the regulation always takes precendence.

This Report provides some examples of substances and materials that may cause a sustained impediment in the recycling activities, and is intended to assist in the assessment requirements set out in the standard EN 13430.
It describes substances or materials which cause problems or inhibit the recycling process, or which have a negative influence on the quality of recycled material, and for which it is considered that technological solutions will not be developed in the near future.
These examples are however qualified by the fact that the recycling operations can vary from region to region and state to state, that technology is constantly changing, and that the use to which the recycled material is put will also determine whether such substances and materials are a problem.

This Technical Report gives methods of assessing the performance of a reuse system related to the proportion of reused packaging in use. This may be measured by:
-   the average number of rotations during a calculation period and the lifetime; or
-   the reuse ratio.
The choice of method will vary according to the type of reuse system and information available.
