1 Scope
This standard specifies the basic requirements for physical and mechanical characteristics
of films used during the manufacture of silage and designed to last at least one year for
protecting fodder.
The films are usually black, white or bicoloured (double face, black and white) and are
made of polyethylene and/or ethylene copolymers.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this standard, the following terms and definitions apply.

3.1
width
total width of the film when laid flat, given in millimetres. Films which are wider than 2000
mm are usually wound on a roll and folded lengthwise at least once
NOTE These folds are retained even when the film is laid out flat, and this may affect
test results. Therefore, a distinction shall be made between the sample sheets taken from
the folds ("fold" area) and sample sheets from areas which have not been folded ("flat
area").
