ISO 6383-2 Bending Resistance of Paperboard Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 6383-2 is an international standard that specifies the method for determining the bending resistance of paperboard. The standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is available in multiple languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese.

The standard is part of a series of ISO standards related to paper and board testing, which includes:

  • ISO 6383-1: Determination of the bending resistance of paperboard by the box test

  • ISO 6383-2: Determination of the bending resistance of paperboard by the ring crush test

    • ISO 6383-2 is widely adopted in various industries, including packaging, printing, and construction. The standard is often referenced in regulations and laws related to product safety and performance.

    Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 6383-2 Bending Resistance of Paperboard testing is based on national and international standards. In the European Union (EU), for example, Directive 2009/48/EC sets out requirements for packaging materials, including paperboard, to ensure their safety and performance.

    In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulates product labeling and advertising, which may require compliance with ISO 6383-2. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) also publishes standards related to paper and board testing, including ASTM D648, which is similar to ISO 6383-2.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The development of ISO 6383-2 involves a collaborative effort between standard development organizations (SDOs), including:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

  • Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN)

  • British Standards Institution (BSI)

    • These SDOs work together to develop and maintain standards, ensuring that they are relevant, consistent, and widely adopted.

    Standard Evolution and Update

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies and materials emerge. ISO 6383-2 has undergone revisions since its initial publication in 1975. The current version (ISO 6383-2:2014) includes updates to the testing methodology and equipment requirements.
