3 Terms and definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this standard
3.1
Temper-evident plastic closure
It is made of plastic and cannot be restored to its original packaging form,
after being encapsulated and opened.
3.2
Removal torque
The maximum torque, which is required to open the temper-evident closure
of the package.
3.3
Bridge break torque
The maximum torque, which is required to break the temper-evident band.
3.4
Temper-evident band
It is composed of a bridge connected and completely or partially
disconnected from the closure after opening.
Note: The temper-evident band is divided into two types: drop type and connection
type.
4 Classification and specifications
4.1 Classification
4.1.1 Products are classified into closure with cushion and closure without
cushions, according to the structure of the closure.
4.1.2 Products are divided into one-time forming bottle closure and multiple
forming bottle closure, according to the manufacturing process.
4.1.3 Products are classified into carbonated beverage bottle closure
(hereinafter referred to as carbonated closure) and non-carbonated beverage
closure (hereinafter referred to as non-carbonated closure), according to their
direction of the pasting. Observe the integrity of the pattern.
6.4 Physical and mechanical properties
6.4.1 Sealing performance test
6.4.1.1 Use a capping machine for non-carbonated closures, to apply the
closure, at the rated torque that meets the capping requirements. Use a seal
tester to carry out testing. Pressurize to 200 kPa. Hold the pressure underwater
for 1 min. Observe whether there is air leakage. Then increase the pressure to
350 kPa. Hold the pressure for 1 min. Observe whether the closure is loose and
pops up.
6.4.1.2 Use a capping machine for carbonated closures, to apply the closure,
according to the rated torque that meets the capping requirements. Cut off the
temper-evident band. Use a seal tester to carry out testing. Pressurize it to 690
kPa. Hold the pressure underwater for 1 min. Observe whether there is air
leakage. Then Increase the pressure to 1207 kPa. Hold the pressure for 1 min.
Observe whether the closure is loose and pops up.
6.4.2 Thermal stability test
6.4.2.1 After filling the bottle with nominal volume of water, use a capping
machine to seal the non-carbonated closure, according to the rated torque that
meets the capping requirements. After laying it down for 24 hours in the freezer
at 4 °C ± 1 °C, turn it upside down, to observe whether the closure is bursting
or deforming, whether the seal has liquid leakage.
6.4.2.2 After filling the bottle with nominal volume of carbonated water, which
contains 4.2 ± 0.1 volume of carbon dioxide, use a capping machine to seal the
carbonated closure, according to the rated torque that meets the capping
requirements. After placing it in a 4 °C ± 1 °C freezer for 24 hours, turn it upside
down, to observe whether the closure is cracked or deformed, whether the seal
has gas leakage or liquid leakage.
6.4.2.3 After filling the bottle with carbonated water, which contains a nominal
capacity of 4.2 ± 0.1 volume of carbon dioxide, use a capping machine to seal
the carbonated closure, according to the rated torque that meets the capping
requirements, and place it sideways in a 42 °C thermostat for 5 days. Observe
the whether the closure is cracked, deformed or leaked.
6.4.2.4 After filling the bottle with carbonated water, which contains a nominal
capacity of 4.2 ± 0.1 volume of carbon dioxide, use a capping machine to seal
the carbonated closure, at the rated torque that meets the capping
requirements. Place it in a 60 °C incubator for 6 h. Then place it in a 32 °C
incubator for another 18 h. Repeat three times. Observe whether the closure
bursts or flies off.
the bottle closure, at a height of 762 mm from the bottle closure: vertically on
the center of the top; vertically on the edge of the top; at an angle of 45° to the
edge of the bottle closure; vertically on the side wall of the bottle closure.
Observe whether the closure is cracked or damaged, whether the closure falls
off.
6.4.5 Removal torque test
Use a capping machine to seal the closure, according to the rated torque that
meets the capping requirements. Leave it at room temperature for 24 hours.
Use a torque meter, which has an accuracy greater than 0.1 Nꞏm to test the
torque.
6.4.6 Physical test of temper-evident band
Use a capping machine to seal the closure, according to the rated torque that
meets the capping requirements. Observe whether the connecting bridge of the
bottle closure's temper-evident band is broken. Leave it at room temperature
for 24 hours. Use a torque meter, which has an accuracy greater than 0.1 Nꞏm,
to test the removal torque and the bridge break torque. Apply the closure again.
Observe whether the temper-evident band's connecting bridge is obviously
damaged.
6.5 Lipid spill performance test
6.5.1 Fill the clean bottle with pure water of nominal capacity. Use a non-
carbonated enclosure to seal it. Place it at room temperature for 24 h. Shake it
for 5 h. Place it sideways in a 42 °C thermostat for 48 h. Observe the liquid level
in the bottle, every 24 h, from the time of placement, to see whether there is
lipid. Terminate the test if there is lipid.
6.5.2 Fill the clean bottle with carbonated water, which has a nominal volume
of 4.2 ± 0.1 volume of carbon dioxide. Use a carbonated enclosure to seal it.
Place it at room temperature for 24 h. Shake it for 5 h. Place it sideways in a
42 °C thermostat for 48 h. Observe whether there is lipid on the liquid level in
the bottle, every 24 hours from the time of placement. Terminate the test if there
is lipid.
6.6 Safe removal performance test
Use a bottle, which has a capacity of not less than 2 L. Inject carbonated water,
which has a nominal capacity of 4.2 ± 0.1 volume of carbon dioxide. Use a
capping machine to seal the carbonated closure, according to the rated torque
that meets the capping requirements.
Leave it at room temperature for 24 hours. Slowly turn the bottle closure
counterclockwise, until there is a leaking sound. Then immediately unscrew the
bottle closure by hand, at the fastest speed until it is completely leaked.
Observe whether the closure is loose and pops up.
Slowly pour out half of the liquid in the sample, which is tested above. Then use
a capping machine, to seal the carbonated closure, according to the rated
torque that meets the capping requirements. Leave it for 24 hours. Repeat the
opening process above, to observe whether the closure is loose and pops up.
6.7 Hygienic performance test
The hygienic performance index of the bottle closure shall be carried out in
accordance with the requirements of GB/T 5009.60.
7 Inspection rules
7.1 Group-batch
The products are checked and accepted in batches. The products which are
produced continuously by the raw materials, of the same specification, on the
same production line, form a batch. Each batch does not exceed 1.2 million.
7.2 Classification of inspections
Product inspection is divided into exit-factory inspection and type inspection.
7.2.1 Exit-factory inspection
The exit-factory inspection items are 5.1, 5.2, 5.3.
7.2.2 Type inspection
Type inspection items are all items in Chapter 5. Type inspection shall be
carried out in one of the following situations:
a) Inspection and type finalization of new products or old products after
transplant production;
b) After the formal production, there are major changes of material and
process, that affect the performance of the product;
c) When production resumes after suspension for more than 6 months;
d) Where there are major quality problems;
e) When the user requests for type inspection;
f) When the national quality supervision agency puts forward a requirement
for type inspection.
