Overview
ISO 1215:2015 is an international standard established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that defines and specifies packaging requirements for various types of cork materials. The scope covers commercially dry virgin cork, raw reproduction cork, ramassage, gleanings, burnt cork, corkwaste, boiled cork pieces, and boiled corkwaste. The standard ensures consistent classification and packaging practices tailored to preserve the quality and integrity of cork products during storage and transportation.
This standard is essential for manufacturers, exporters, and users of cork materials looking to maintain product quality and comply with internationally recognized packaging norms. By setting moisture content limits and packaging specifications, ISO 1215:2015 helps reduce losses during transit and supports efficient handling within the cork industry.
Key Topics
- Types of Cork Covered: Includes virgin cork, raw reproduction cork, ramassage (collected cork), gleanings, burnt cork, corkwaste, boiled cork pieces, and boiled corkwaste.
- Moisture Content Specification: Cork products covered by the standard must have a moisture content not exceeding 14%, determined by ISO 2386 testing methods.
- Packaging Requirements:
- Cork materials are typically packaged in compressed bales shaped as rectangular parallelepipeds or in alternative packaging agreed upon by parties involved.
- Compression is maintained using steel hoops or other mutually agreed methods.
- Packaging aids such as cork planks, wood fillets, and sacking wraps may be used to preserve bale shape and compactness.
- Nets or bags are standard packaging forms unless otherwise agreed.
- Packaging Mass Limits:
- Tare weight (weight of packaging materials) should not exceed 3% of the bale's gross mass.
- When additional packaging aids like sacking, steel wire, or wood fillets are used, tare can be up to 5% of gross mass.
- Marking and Identification:
- Each bale must be clearly marked to indicate the cork type, conditioning, exporter’s name or trademark, and country of origin.
- Loss in Transit Allowance:
- Acceptable loss due to breakage or damage during transport must not exceed 3% of the gross mass of bales under normal carriage conditions.
Applications
ISO 1215:2015 is a critical standard for various stakeholders in the cork industry:
- Cork Suppliers and Producers: Ensure their cork products meet international moisture content and packaging standards.
- Exporters and Importers: Benefit from standardized packaging and marking, facilitating global trade and mitigating disputes related to cargo condition.
- Logistics and Storage Providers: Use the packaging requirements to maintain cork quality during handling, warehousing, and transportation.
- Manufacturers Using Cork Materials: Such as cork stoppers, flooring, insulation, and other cork-based products, who rely on consistent quality and moisture standards to achieve product performance.
- Quality Inspectors and Regulatory Bodies: Apply the ISO 1215 definitions and packaging conditions to verify compliance and ensure fair commercial practices.

ISO 633: Cork - Vocabulary
Provides key terminologies and definitions related to cork materials, supporting uniform understanding in the cork industry.ISO 2386: Corkwood in Planks, Virgin Cork, Ramassage, Gleanings, Corkwood Refuse and Corkwaste - Determination of Moisture Content
Specifies the method to determine moisture content in cork, which is a critical parameter defined in ISO 1215.
By adhering to ISO 1215:2015, organizations involved in the production, packaging, and marketing of cork materials improve product quality assurance, facilitate international trade, and reduce material losses during transit. This standard plays a vital role in sustaining the global cork market's efficiency and reliability.

Avant-propos
L’ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d’organismes
nationaux de normalisation (comités membres de l’ISO). L’élaboration des Normes internationales est
en général confiée aux comités techniques de l’ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude
a le droit de faire partie du comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales,
gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l’ISO participent également aux travaux.
L’ISO collabore étroitement avec la Commission électrotechnique internationale (IEC) en ce qui concerne
la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les procédures utilisées pour élaborer le présent document et celles destinées à sa mise à jour sont
décrites dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 1. Il convient, en particulier de prendre note des différents
