EN 60264-3-5:1999

Overview

EN 60264-3-5:1999 is a European standard developed by CLC that specifies the requirements for spool containers made from thermoplastic materials. These containers are designed specifically for taper barrelled delivery spools used in the packaging of winding wires. The standard ensures consistent quality and performance of thermoplastic spool containers, facilitating efficient handling, storage, and transportation of winding wires.

By providing detailed specifications for materials, dimensions, and construction methods, EN 60264-3-5:1999 enhances the compatibility and durability of spool containers. This standard aims to promote safety, reliability, and environmental considerations in the packaging process of winding wires.
