Foreword

Part 6 of this British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Packaging and Freight Container Standards Committee and constitutes the final stage in the full revision of BS 3130.

In each section of the glossary the terms are arranged so that related subjects are grouped together. The sequence of terms depends, therefore, on their meanings and is not alphabetical; an alphabetical index is provided.

In this revision all terms have been renumbered, each number consisting of five digits. Each term has assigned to it a Part number (one digit) and section number (one digit) followed by a space, with the remaining three digits indicating the position of the term within the section.

It had been the intention to include a section in Part 6 dealing with textiles. However in its final draft form this section was considered likely to cause confusion if compared with information included in BS 1133‑9.

The technical committee responsible for the production of this standard therefore decided to proceed with the publication of Part 6 without a section on textiles, pending a revision of BS 1133‑9. On completion of such a revision any terminology considered appropriate for inclusion in BS 3130 can be added in the form of an amendment to BS 3130‑6.

The completed revision of BS 3130 is published in six Parts as follows:

Part1: General;
Part2: Paper and board packaging;
Part3: Glass containers and closures;
Part4: Metal containers and aerosols;
Part5: Plastics and flexible packaging (excluding paper);
Part6: Wooden packaging.

A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.

Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.
