What is BS EN 16773 - Foil-stock foodstuff containers about ?
BS EN 16773 is a European standard on aluminum and aluminum alloys that discusses the best procedures and specifications required for manufacturing high-quality foil stock. BS EN 16773 provides a guideline about manufacturing practices for rolled products in the thicknesses range between ≥ 35 μm and ≤ 200 μm having surface quality characteristics essential for the production of aluminium semi-rigid containers, lids, and disposable platters which are used in contact with foodstuff.
BS EN 16773 can be applied to the production cycle of the “rolled semi-finished goods”. The European Standard cannot be applied to the production process of containers, lids, and disposable platters.
Who is BS EN 16773 - Foil-stock foodstuff containers for ?
BS EN 16773 on foil-stock foodstuff containers is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of foil-stock foodstuff containers
- Food industry
Why should you use BS EN 16773- Foil-stock foodstuff containers ?
The base aluminum, a production material used in the later processes of making aluminum foil (which is between 0.006 mm and 0.2 mm in thickness), is itself about 0.3 mm thick. Made from relatively pure aluminum, foil is used in wrapping food products, pharmaceuticals, and other products.
BS EN 16773 navigates you through the pre-lubrication oils selection criteria for rolled semi-finished products, cleanliness and smell of rolled products, rolled strip smell evaluation, cleanliness level evaluation, equipment, execution of the rub test.
As a user of BS EN 16773, you can be ensured that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. BS EN 16773 helps you to minimize the risks involved in foodstuff containers production. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 16773, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality and hygienic foil-stock foodstuff containers.
