scope:

This International Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for compatibility testing of polyethylene-based plastics Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) and composite IBCs with plastics inners containing liquids. The testing involves storage with the packaged substance, or with a standard liquid as defined in Annex A. Annex B describes small scale laboratory tests, which may be used to determine the assimilation of those products to be carried with the standard liquids. This International Standard should be used in conjunction with one or more of the international regulations set out in the Bibliography.
