CEN/TC 261/SC 5/WG 25 - Rigid plastic packages (e.g. mono and multi-layers)

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 design and dimensions of the 29 mm screw finish with three (3) thread starts for flat waters and non-carbonated beverages.
This document applies to finishes designated as PET finishes 29/25 (12,6). The dimension (12,6) is the height in millimetres from the top of finish to the bottom of the support ledge.
This finish can be used for aseptic filling and filling which utilizes nitrogen pressure where the internal overpressure does not exceed 1 bar maximum.
This finish is designed to accept only a tamper evident plastic closure, including those with an attachment feature.

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 document specifies the dimension nomenclature for plastic finishes.

This finish can be used for aseptic filling and filling with introduction of nitrogen.
This finish is designed to take 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 document specifies the dimensions and requirements of the 30 mm low screw finish with three (3) thread starts for flat waters and non carbonated beverages.  This finish can be used for aseptic filling and filling with introduction of nitrogen. The dimension (16,8) is the height in millimetres from the top of finish to the bottom of the support ledge.  This finish is designed to take 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 dimensions of the 38 mm screw finish with three (3) thread starts for flat waters and non-carbonated beverages.
This finish can be used for aseptic filling and filling with introduction of nitrogen (0,7 bar max.).
This finish is designed to take 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 finish is for non crystallized necks only.

This European Standard specifies a method for testing the effectiveness of the seals of closures on plastic bottles and jars up to 5,0 l, of plastics canisters/jerricans with a nominal volume up to 20 l and of plastic pails with a nominal volume up to 60  l.
NOTE   Plastics bottles, jars, canisters and jerricans are referred to as "containers" in this standard.

This European Standard specifies tolerances for dimensions, mass and volume of plastic bottles and jars with a nominal capacity up to 5 l, of plastics canisters/jerricans with a nominal volume up to 20 l and for plastic pails up to 60 l.
NOTE   Plastics bottles, jars, canisters and jerricans and pails are referred to as "containers" in this standard.

This European standard specifies a method for determination on the drainability of plastics bottles and jars with a normal capacity up to 5.0 l and of plastic canisters/jerricans with a nominal volume up to 20 litres.

This European standard specifies a gravimetric method for determining the brimful and total capacities of plastic bottles and jars up to 5 litres, of plastic canisters/jerricans with a nominal volume up to 20 litres and of plastic pails with a nominal volume up to 60 litres.
