Overview

EN ISO 90-2:1999 / ISO 90-2:1997 defines terms and measurement methods for light gauge metal containers used as general use containers. It applies to rigid metal containers with a maximum nominal material thickness of 0.49 mm, covering both round and non‑round cross‑sections and a variety of constructions (two‑piece, three‑piece), shapes (cylindrical, tapered) and special features (necked‑in, step‑sided, beaded, curled). The document is part of the ISO 90 series that standardizes definitions, dimensions and capacity determination for thin metal packaging.

Key topics

  • Definitions and classification
    • Types of general use containers (full‑friction, pail, slip‑lid, flat‑top, cone‑top, lever‑lid with ring).
    • Cross‑section types (round, rectangular, obround, oval, trapezoidal) and constructions (two‑piece, three‑piece).
  • Measurement of dimensions
    • Internal cross‑section measurement using plug gauges or external measurements with vernier calipers.
    • Rounding rules for nominal cross‑sections to the nearest whole millimetre.
    • Height measurements (body height, overall height) with guidance in Annex A.
  • Capacity determination
    • Methods based on weighing the mass of water filled into cans to determine:
      • Gross lidded capacity (closed can) and
      • Brimful capacity (open can with rigid disc).
    • Practical filling procedures (drilling small fill holes, use of test containers to avoid deformation, removal of external surplus water).
    • Correction factors for water density as a function of temperature and required balance accuracy for different mass ranges.
  • Designation and tolerances
    • Recommended international designation format for container identification (codes for necked‑in, step‑sided, tapered, etc.).
    • Clause on tolerances on capacities (specifies permissible variation - see standard for numeric limits).

Applications

  • Quality control testing in packaging plants and laboratories for cans, pails and tins.
  • Design verification for packaging engineers and product designers to ensure containers meet declared capacities and dimensions.
  • Supplier and buyer specifications for tinplate and can manufacturers.
  • Regulatory compliance and contractual acceptance testing for filled products (food, paint, chemicals).

Who uses this standard

  • Packaging engineers and designers
  • Can and tin manufacturers
  • Quality assurance and laboratory technicians
  • Procurement specialists and compliance officers
  • Standardization bodies and testing laboratories

Related standards

  • ISO 90‑1 (Open‑top cans)
  • ISO 90‑3 (Aerosol cans)
  • EN adoption: EN ISO 90‑2:1999 (CEN adoption of ISO 90‑2)

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which
a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard IS0 90-2 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 52, Light gauge metal containers, Subcommittee SC 5, General
use containers.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (IS0 9002:1986),
which has been technically revised.
IS0 90 consists of the following parts, under the general title Light gauge
metal containers - Definitions and determination of dimensions and
capacities:
- Part 1: Open-top cans
- Part 2: General use containers
- Part 3: Aerosol cans
Annexes A and B of this part of IS0 90 are for information only.

2.1.3 lever-lid can with ring: Can, with a seamed ring on top and a lid that fits into the ring, which is filled through
the closure aperture and is not equipped with a diaphragm (see figure 4).
2.1.4 slip-lid can: Can with a removable lid which fits over and around the open end of the can body (see
figure 5).
2.1.4.1 crimped-cover can [pail]: Can [pail] with a removable cover which is crimped over an external curl around
the open end of the can body (see figure 6).
2.1.5 flat-top can: Can with a seamed flat top with an aperture which can be provided with a variety of closures
(see figure 7).
2.1.6 cone-top can: Can with a seamed cone-shaped top with an aperture which can be provided with a variety of
closures (see figure 8).
