ISO 22095 Material Flow Cost Accounting for Packaging Laboratory Testing Services

ISO 22095 is an international standard that outlines the requirements for Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA) for packaging. This standard provides a framework for organizations to identify, measure, and manage material flow costs associated with packaging.

Overview of Relevant Standards

The relevant standards governing ISO 22095 include:

  • ISO 22095:2017 - Material flow cost accounting for packaging

  • ASTM D6955-13 - Standard Guide for Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA) for Packaging

  • EN 16815-1:2018 - Packaging - General requirements for the assessment of sustainability of packaging materials and systems

  • TSE 1084:2017 - Packaging - Requirements for sustainable packaging

    • Legal and Regulatory Framework

    ISO 22095 is a voluntary standard, but it is widely adopted by industries globally. Many countries have implemented regulations and laws requiring companies to adopt MFCA for packaging.

    In the European Union, the EUs Circular Economy Package (CEP) emphasizes the importance of implementing sustainable packaging practices. The CEP includes requirements for organizations to assess and report on their material flow costs associated with packaging.

    International and National Standards

    The international standards governing ISO 22095 include:

  • ISO/TC 146 - Packaging

  • ISO/TC 229 - Nanotechnologies

    • National standards applicable to ISO 22095 include:

  • EN 16815-1:2018 (EU)

  • ASTM D6955-13 (USA)

  • TSE 1084:2017 (Turkey)

    • Standard Development Organizations and Their Role

    ISO, IEC, and other standard development organizations play a crucial role in developing and maintaining standards.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards are constantly evolving to reflect changes in technology, market demands, and regulatory requirements. The standards committee responsible for ISO 22095 regularly reviews and updates the standard to ensure it remains relevant and effective.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    The following are some key standard numbers related to ISO 22095:

  • ISO 22095:2017 - Material flow cost accounting for packaging

  • EN 16815-1:2018 - Packaging - General requirements for the assessment of sustainability of packaging materials and systems

    • Industry-Specific Requirements for Standard Compliance

    Organizations in various industries must comply with specific standards related to ISO 22095. For example:

  • Food and beverages: ISO 22095, EN 16815-1

  • Pharmaceuticals: ISO 22095, ASTM D6955-13

  • Cosmetics: ISO 22095, EN 16815-1
