Packaging Sacks Description and method of measurement Part 2: Empty sacks made from thermoplastic flexible film ISO 6591-2: 1985

This standard establishes a unified methodology for the description and measurement of plastic flexible empty bags, specifically addressing those manufactured from thermo-plastic soft films. It provides essential technical guidelines for defining physical characteristics and performance criteria, ensuring consistency across product specifications within the relevant industrial sector. The document outlines precise procedures for evaluating dimensions, capacity, and material properties, which are critical for quality control and interchangeability during manufacturing and supply chain operations. By defining clear parameters for testing and classification, it facilitates communication between producers, suppliers, and end-users regarding product capabilities. The framework supports compliance with broader packaging regulations by standardizing how such containers are characterized. These technical provisions are designed to minimize ambiguity in commercial transactions and technical documentation. The approach ensures that measurements are reproducible and that descriptions accurately reflect the physical nature of the product. This resource serves as a reference for engineers and technicians involved in the development and assessment of flexible packaging solutions.
