Overview
EN 26591-1:1992 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the description and method of measurement for empty paper sacks. This standard aligns with the international ISO 6591-1:1984, focusing specifically on the classification and dimensional measurement of paper sacks used in packaging. The document provides a structured system using ten figures to describe and designate the dimensions of empty paper sacks, ensuring uniformity and precision in packaging specifications.
The adoption of EN 26591-1:1992 supports consistency in the production, quality control, and inspection of paper sacks across the packaging industry, facilitating international trade and compliance with packaging requirements.
Key Topics
Dimensional Designation of Paper Sacks
The standard introduces a systematic approach to describe paper sacks using ten numerical figures. This method allows for clear categorization regarding sack size and shape, streamlining communication between manufacturers and users.Measurement Methodology
EN 26591-1 outlines the equipment necessary for measuring sacks, along with sampling procedures to ensure representative measurement. The standard also provides detailed steps for conducting precise dimensional assessments.Test Reporting
Consistent documentation is mandated through the specification of the test report format. This enables transparent recording of measurements and quality parameters for regulatory or commercial purposes.Sampling Procedure
To ensure reliability, the standard specifies how samples of empty paper sacks should be selected for measurement, supporting reproducibility and consistency in test results.
