Overview

ISO 6590-2:1986 is an international standard developed by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) under Technical Committee ISO/TC 122, Packaging. This standard specifically addresses the vocabulary and types of sacks made from thermoplastic flexible film. It provides definitions for terminology widely used in the manufacturing of single- and multi-ply plastic sacks, excluding bags intended for retail purposes. The document also details sack types, their construction, materials used, and includes descriptions of sack components. Additionally, it offers multilingual indices to aid in global communication and consistency in the packaging industry.

Key Topics

ISO 6590-2:1986 covers the following essential topics for the packaging sector:

  • Terminology: Defines commonly accepted terms in the production of thermoplastic film sacks, ensuring uniform understanding and communication.
  • Types of Sacks: Categorizes different sack designs and their applications, focusing on those manufactured from thermoplastic flexible films.
  • Constructional Details: Specifies the structural aspects of plastic sacks, such as the number of plies (single or multi-ply), closures, and the configuration of sack parts.
  • Materials: Describes suitable thermoplastic flexible films and their characteristics, addressing compatibility and performance in packaging.
  • Component Identification: Provides descriptions of individual sack parts, facilitating manufacturing, quality control, and procurement.
  • Multilingual Indices: Offers alphabetical indices in English, French, and Russian to support international usage and regulatory compliance.

Applications
