The EU Packaging Directive 94 62 EG (hereinafter referred to as the "Packaging Directive") is an important regulation adopted by the European Union to regulate and protect the use of packaging materials.

The regulation stipulates a series of specific test items to ensure that the impact of packaging materials on products and the environment during use meets the standards of safety and environmental protection.
1.Weighing test:
The purpose of this test is to determine the weight of the packaging material in order to assess its load capacity.
With a weighing test, you can be sure that the packaging material can withstand the weight of the product and will not crack or damage due to excessive weight.
2.Compression Test:
This test item is used to evaluate the strength and durability of packaging materials when subjected to stress.
The resistance of the packaging material is tested by applying pressure to ensure that it can protect the product from crushing, collision or force.
3.Tear test:
This test item is used to evaluate the tear strength of the packaging material.
The ability of the material to resist tearing is tested by applying a tensile force to ensure that the packaging material will not be easily torn during use, thus protecting the integrity of the product.
4.Leak Test:
This test item is used to evaluate the sealing performance of packaging materials.
The firmness of the seal is tested by applying internal and external pressure or gas to ensure that the packaging material has a good barrier to the leakage of liquids or gases.
5.Temperature Resistance Test of Packaging Materials:
This test item is used to evaluate the performance of packaging materials at different temperatures.
The heat and cold resistance of the material is tested by exposure to different temperatures to ensure that the packaging material can maintain stability under different climatic conditions.
6.Packaging material decomposition test:
This test item is used to evaluate whether the packaging material has good decomposability.
By exposing the material to specific conditions, it is tested whether the material can be degraded and decomposed within a certain period of time to reduce pollution to the environment.
In addition, the Packaging Directive includes restrictions on a range of hazardous substances in packaging materials, as well as restrictions on the use of specific packaging materials.
These restrictions are designed to protect the health of consumers and the sustainability of the environment.
The EU Packaging Directive 94 62 EG ensures that the quality and performance of packaging materials meet the standards for safety and environmental protection through specific test items.
These tests include weighing tests, compression tests, tear tests, tightness tests, temperature resistance tests and decomposability tests to ensure the safety of products in the packaging process and the sustainable development of the environment by evaluating the performance of packaging materials.
