What is ISO/TS 21975 about ?
ISO/TS 21975 is an international standard which discusses about food packaging characteristics and measurement methods for nanotechnologies.
ISO/TS 21975 specifies characteristics including carrier properties to be measured of polymeric nanocomposite films used for improving food packaging. The barrier properties cover gas, water vapour transmission and UV-Vis light transparency.
Note: ISO/TS 21975 addresses neither safety and health issues related to the food packaging nor-environmental aspects.
Who is ISO/TS 21975 for ?
ISO/TS 21975 on polymeric nanocomposite films for food packaging is applicable in:
- Manufacturing of polymeric nanocomposite films
- Companies dealing with food packaging
- Retailers and suppliers of polymeric nanocomposite film for food packaging
Why should you use ISO/TS 21975 ?
Packaging product which is used for the protection, containment, handling, delivery, storage, transport and presentation of goods, from raw materials to processed goods, from the producer to the user or consumer, including processor, assembler or another intermediary.
ISO/TS 21975 specifies the characteristics which include the barrier properties to be measured of polymeric nanocomposite films. ISO/TS 21975 can help in promoting communication and mutual understanding of polymeric nanocomposites for food packaging application, between buyers and sellers.
The main purpose of polymeric food packaging in ISO/TS 21975, is to deliver longer shelf life by improving the barrier properties of good packaging to reduce gas diffusion, water vapour exchange and also protects from UV lights exposure.
