ISO 6590-1:1983 needs to be updated and modernized to be more relevant and easier to use for today’ s market, machines and products. The standard has not been fully revised since its origin. The range of products have increased widely, and a simpler structure is needed in order to produce and develop the products further.
A new module-structure within the terminology is suggested to clarify terms and to make the standard easier to use and follow. By using the module-structure the standard will be more flexible and provide a wider range of varieties of sacks and bags.
The language needs to be modernized and revised in line with a modern format of a standard.
A clear connection between “sacks and bags in paper” and the area of packaging, is asked for and should be included in a revision of the standard.
