What is ISO 21898:2004 Certification?
ISO 21898:2004 is an international standard that establishes uniform terminology, classification, and specifications for flexible packaging materials including films, laminates, pouches, and bags used across multiple industries. It defines performance criteria for mechanical properties, barrier characteristics, seal strength, and material compatibility to ensure packaging meets product protection requirements. This certification ensures manufacturers produce flexible packaging that maintains product integrity, extends shelf life, and meets regulatory standards for food contact, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods.
The standard addresses critical factors such as moisture barriers, oxygen permeability, puncture resistance, and heat seal performance that directly impact product quality and safety. Organizations adhering to ISO 21898:2004 demonstrate their capability to consistently produce flexible packaging materials that meet international specifications, satisfy customer requirements, and comply with industry regulations, making them reliable partners for brands requiring high-performance packaging solutions.
