What is BS EN 15384-1 - Porosity of the internal coating of flexible aluminium tubes - Sodium chloride test about?

BS EN 15384-1 is the first part of the multi-series international standard that focuses on test methods of packaging to determine the porosity of the internal coating of flexible aluminium tubes. BS EN 15384-1 is applicable for internally coated cylindrical and conical aluminium tubes, mainly used for the packing of pharmaceutical, cosmetic, hygiene, food or other household products. BS EN 15384-1 defines the sodium chloride method to detect the electrolyte conductivity as one criterion for the quality of the internal coating.

Who is BS EN 15384-1 - Porosity of the internal coating of flexible aluminium tubes - Sodium chloride test for?

BS EN 15384-1 on test methods of packaging to determine the porosity of the internal coating of flexible aluminium tube is useful for:

Manufacturers of aluminium tubes
Packaging unit of hygiene products
Quality assurance team
Testing laboratories

Why should you use BS EN 15384-1 - Porosity of the internal coating of flexible aluminium tubes - Sodium chloride test?

The electrolyte conductivity of internally coated aluminium tubes is tested by an enamel conductometer. The aluminium tubes are filled with an electrolyte solution up to a fixed level at its open end. One electrode is connected to the tube nozzle, the second electrode is dipped into the solution.

BS EN 15384-1 defines the copper sulphate method to detect the electrolyte conductivity as one criterion for the quality of the internal coating.

BS EN 15384-1 ensures that internal coating is used as a barrier and should avoid any contact between aluminium and the product.

What’s changed since the last update?

BS EN 15384-1:2017 supersedes BS EN 15384:2007 which has been withdrawn. BS EN 15384-1:2017 has been editorially revised.
