Overview
ISO 8351-2:1994 is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that provides a method of specification for sacks made from thermoplastic flexible film. This part of ISO 8351 focuses on offering a comprehensive checklist for defining the characteristics of sacks when placing orders, ensuring clear communication between manufacturers and customers. Unlike standards that specify quantitative performance requirements, ISO 8351-2 centers on the detailed description of sack features such as dimensions, material types, and construction details.
This standard is primarily intended for sacks made from thermoplastic flexible films as defined by ISO 6590-2. It facilitates the accurate specification of sacks for packaging purposes, helping standardize ordering and manufacturing processes worldwide.
Key Topics
Applications
ISO 8351-2:1994 is essential for manufacturers, suppliers, and customers involved in the production and procurement of sacks made from thermoplastic flexible films used in various industries such as:
- Food and beverage packaging
- Agricultural product storage and transport (e.g., seeds, grains)
- Industrial materials packaging (chemicals, powders, granules)
- Consumer goods packaging requiring flexible but durable sacks
Utilizing this standard ensures that sacks meet agreed-upon specifications, improving supply chain communication and reducing discrepancies during manufacturing and delivery stages. It supports product consistency and regulatory compliance on an international scale.
