Packaging tests ensure that products and services are safe, reliable and of good quality. The purpose of packaging is the protection, handling, delivery and presentation of products. A major role is the prevention of product damage and/or product waste. In order to save resources and minimise waste, the whole system in which the packaging takes part should be optimised.
BS EN 22206 establishes a system for identifying parts of complete, filled transport packages when testing. The system for identifying is specified for parallelepipedal and cylindrical packages, sacks and bags, also for miscellaneous packages.
