Abstract

Overview

ISO 18188:2016 (published as ISO 18188:2015(E)) specifies requirements, test methods and sampling for polypropylene (PP) drinking straws. The standard covers general characteristics, dimensional tolerances and performance tests for PP straws with an inner diameter of 3 mm to 12 mm. It is intended to ensure consistent product quality, suitability for food contact, and reliable performance in beverage and foodservice applications.

Key topics and technical requirements

Scope and materials
- Applies to PP drinking straws (straight, flexible/bendable, spoon, sharp-tip, extendable).
- Raw material must be food-grade polypropylene; any additives (e.g., colorants) must be food-grade. Printing on straws is not allowed.
Dimensional tolerances
- Inner diameter: ±0.3 mm of nominal.
- Length: ±3 mm for nominal ≤ 250 mm; ±5 mm for nominal > 250 mm.
- Wall thickness: not less than 2% of nominal diameter.
- Uniformity of wall thickness: max – min
