Scope

This European Standard is applicable to plastic and laminate tubes which have a peal-off membrane for tamper-evidence purposes. This membrane is made of either aluminium or plastic. A test is performed to ensure that the consumer can remove the membrane without excessive force leading to a completely opened orifice.

Purpose

We have noticed that the tearing force is not defined equally in the different language versions of EN 16284. In some language versions instead of 300 mm/min a value of 300 mm/m is mentioned. This is confusing and must be harmonised in all language versions.

The correct tearing force is 300 mm/min
