EN 13697 Quantitative Surface Test for Disinfectants on Packaging: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Services

The EN 13697 Quantitative Surface Test for Disinfectants on Packaging is a European standard that outlines the requirements for testing the effectiveness of disinfectants on packaging materials. This standard is part of the EN series, which is developed and maintained by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). The standard is designed to ensure that packaging materials do not pose a risk to public health and safety.

Relevant Standards

  • ISO 846:2019 - Paints and varnishes - Evaluation of degradation of coatings - Exposure to light

  • ASTM E1174-16 - Test Method for Determining the Effectiveness of Disinfectants Against Influenza Virus on Non-Porous Surfaces

  • EN 13697:2020 - Quantitative surface test for disinfectants on packaging

    • Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The European Union has implemented various regulations to ensure the safety and efficacy of packaging materials. The EUs Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 sets out the general principles for ensuring the safety of food contact materials, including packaging.

    International and National Standards

  • EN 13697:2020 is the European standard for testing disinfectants on packaging.

  • ISO 846:2019 is an international standard that outlines the requirements for evaluating degradation of coatings.

  • ASTM E1174-16 is a US standard for testing the effectiveness of disinfectants against influenza virus.

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The CEN (European Committee for Standardization) and the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) are two of the most prominent standard development organizations. These organizations work together to develop, maintain, and publish standards that ensure consistency and interoperability across industries and countries.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies and research findings become available. The EN 13697:2020 standard is a revised version of the previous standard, which reflects advances in testing methodologies and scientific understanding.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Packaging manufacturers must comply with relevant standards to ensure their products meet safety and regulatory requirements. Failure to comply can result in costly recalls, fines, and damage to reputation.
