This document specifies test methods for the determination of the chemical compatibility of packaging/ IBC made from polyethylene (PE), fluorinated polyethylene and co-extruded plastics. It covers the determination of adequate plastics compatibility against the following processes of deterioration:
— softening due to absorption (swelling);
— stress cracking;
— combinations thereof.
This document is applicable to:
— drums and jerricans made from plastics;
— composite packaging (plastics) with inner receptacle made from plastics;
— rigid plastics IBCs (types 31H1 and 31H2);
— composite IBCs with rigid plastics inner receptacles (type 31HZ1);
used for the transport of liquid dangerous goods.
Proof of adequate plastics compatibility obtained using the test procedures specified in this document is only applicable to the above packaging and IBC types of the following materials and material specifications:
— packaging and IBCs made from PE;
— packaging and IBCs made from PE, whose internal surfaces are fluorinated; and
— packaging and IBCs which are coextrusion blow moulded and have walls with the following multilayer structure (from inside to outside):
— polyamide (PA), bonding agents, PE, or
— ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), bonding agents, PE.
Note Packaging and IBCs made from PE and packaging and IBCs made from PE with fluorinated internal surfaces, deteriorate additionally due to molecular degradation reactions with the corresponding packaged substances. For this, the chemical compatibility can also be verified by the type tests described in ISO 13274:2013, Annex B, B.2.3, using the standard liquid nitric acid (55 %) or appropriate original packaged substances. Packaging made from Coex PE/PA and Coex PE/EVOH is not resistant to polar acid molecularly degrading substances such as nitric acid, with the result that a corresponding method is not considered for this process of deterioration in this document.

IEC 60335-2-75:2024 deals with the safety of electric commercial dispensing appliances and vending machines for preparation or delivery of food, drinks and consumer products, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances.
Examples of appliances that are within the scope of this standard are:
– bulk tea or coffee brewing machines;
– cigarette vending machines;
– coffee grinders for use in areas open to the public;
– commercial liquid heaters;
– coffee makers with or without integrated coffee grinder;

– professional ice cream makers (IEC 60335-2-118).
This standard also deals with the hygiene aspects of appliances.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by users and maintenance persons. However, in general, it does not take into account young children playing with the appliance.
Attention is drawn to the fact that:
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;
– in many countries, additional requirements for appliances incorporating pressure vessels are specified;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to:
– appliances intended to be used exclusively for household purposes;
– appliances intended to be used exclusively for industrial purposes;
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas);
– commercial coffee grinders for use in areas not open to the public (IEC 60335-2-64);
– commercial electric boiling pans (IEC 60335-2-47);
