China's GB/T 24709-2009 Shrink Wrapping Machine Standard to Take Effect on July 1, 2010
According to the 2009 No. 13 (Total No. 153) Announcement on the Publication of National Standards of the People's Republic of China, the national standard 'Shrink Wrapping Machine' (GB/T 24709-2009) was issued on November 15, 2009, and will be implemented on July 1, 2010. It was organized and developed by the National Packaging Machinery Standardization Technical Committee.
The standard defines terminology and definitions, models, types and basic parameters, requirements, test methods, inspection rules, and requirements for marking, packaging, transport and storage. It applies to all shrink wrapping machines that use heat-shrink film for shrink packaging other than flame heating, covering industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, daily chemicals, fine chemicals, building materials, stationery, hardware and electrical appliances, and tobacco.
Key technical content includes classification of structural types; temperature adjustment range and heating-device warm-up performance; thermal stability and heat recovery performance of tunnel temperature; temperature error control within the tunnel; outside tunnel temperature; film sealing and cutting length error; damage rate of packaged materials; qualified rate of packages; and requirements for materials and components, appearance quality, electrical safety and safety protection. Test methods for each performance indicator are also specified.
Following publication and implementation, GB/T 24709-2009 has provided equipment manufacturers and relevant parties with a production basis and a quality benchmark for shrink wrapping machines. It will guide and regulate the development of China's domestic shrink wrapping machine industry, contribute positively to general-purpose and series production and economic benefits, and promote healthy and orderly growth across the sector.
