SIST EN 765:1998

SIST EN 765:1998 is a Slovenian standard published by SIST for sacks used in the transport of food aid. It specifies the general characteristics, requirements and test methods for sacks made of woven polyolefin fabric other than polypropylene, intended for loads up to 50 kg.

What does SIST EN 765:1998 specify?

SIST EN 765:1998 applies to sacks made of woven polyolefin fabric other than polypropylene only. It is limited to sacks intended for the transport of food aid and for a filling mass up to 50 kg.

In practice, the standard is the reference you use when you need a defined sack type for aid logistics, procurement or testing. It sets the product family by material and use, so buyers and suppliers can specify the same sack without ambiguity.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 765:1998?

SIST EN 765:1998 defines the sack by three main points: material, use and load. Those are the facts that matter first in procurement and quality control.

• Woven polyolefin fabric - the sack body is made from woven polyolefin fabric. This matters because the standard is tied to that construction, not to bags made from other materials or formats.
• Other than polypropylene only - the standard applies to polyolefin sacks that are not made solely from polypropylene. This is the key material limitation when selecting a compliant product.
• Food aid transport - the sacks are intended for transporting food aid. In practice, this tells the user the sacks are meant for a specific logistics and handling environment.
• Filling mass up to 50 kg - the scope covers sacks for loads up to 50 kg. Buyers and packers need to match the sack to the expected fill weight.
• General characteristics - the standard specifies the general characteristics for this sack type. That gives manufacturers and inspectors a common basis for acceptance.
• Requirements and methods of test - the standard links the product specification to test methods. This is important because conformance is checked by testing, not by description alone.

Taken together, these points make the standard useful for product specification, incoming inspection and supplier qualification for food-aid packaging.

What terms does SIST EN 765:1998 define?

SIST EN 765:1998 uses a small set of technical terms that frame the scope of the document.

• Sacks - flexible containers covered by the standard for transporting food aid.
• Woven polyolefin fabric - the woven material used to make the sacks.
• Polypropylene - a polyolefin named in the title and scope as excluded from this product group when used alone.
• Filling mass - the load a sack is intended to carry, limited here to 50 kg.
• Food aid - food transported for aid purposes, which is the intended application for these sacks.
• SIST - the Slovenian standards organization that published this national standard.

Who uses SIST EN 765:1998?

SIST EN 765:1998 is used by manufacturers of sacks, buyers and procurement teams, quality managers and test laboratories. It is also relevant to organizations involved in food-aid logistics and packaging control.

Manufacturers use it to design and make sacks for the defined material and load range. Buyers use it to specify what they need in tenders or supplier agreements. Quality teams and laboratories use it to check that the sacks match the stated product type and test requirements.

What changed in SIST EN 765:1998 from the previous edition?

SIST EN 765:1998 is identified as identical to EN 765:1994. The Slovenian edition follows that European text under the national reference SIST EN 765:1998.

The document front matter gives the Slovenian adoption statement, the English, German and French titles, and the ICS classifications 55.080 and 67.250. The scope then defines the product type, its intended use and the 50 kg filling mass limit.

As a technical document, SIST EN 765:1998 is a product specification for sacks for food-aid transport. It is meant to support specification, purchasing, inspection and testing of that sack type.
