CEN/TC 261/SC 2/WG 2 - Metal packaging-wall thickness max 0,49 mm
Study and evaluation of international and national and other standards widely in use, for implementation into the CEN standardization work and elaboration of new standards, if requested, for packaging basically made of metal (max wall thickness 0.49 mm). The WG 2 should avoid working on items which are covered by programmes of work of other WGs of TC 261 or other relevant TCs and establish a liaison if desirable.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Subcommittee (SC) in CEN operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
This European Standard specifies the range of nominal filling volumes in common use for round cylindrical and tapered general use containers of up to 40 000 ml volumetric capacity, metal thickness not exceeding 0,49 mm nominal. Recommended diameters related to this range of nominal filling volumes are shown in an Annex A to this Standard.
