Packaging - Rigid plastic containers - PET finish 30/25 High (18,5)
This European Standard specifies the dimensions and requirements of the 30 mm tall screw finish with three (3) thread starts for flat waters and non-carbonated beverages.
This finish can be used for aseptic filling and filling with introduction of nitrogen. The dimension (18,5) is the height in millimetres from the top of finish to the bottom of the support ledge.
This finish is designed to take a tamper evident plastic closure only. During first opening, the tamper evident band will separate from the closure shell and stay on a one-way bottle neck or like bottles in the returnable market, the tamper evident band will tear but will remain connected to the closure shell.
Verpackung - Kunststoffbehältnisse - PET-Verschlussmundstück 30/25 H (18,5)
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Maße und Anforderungen für ein hohes Schraubverschlussmundstück mit einem Durchmesser von 30 mm und mit drei (3) Gewindegängen für stilles Wasser und kohlensäurefreie Getränke fest.
Dieses Verschlussmundstück kann zur aseptischen Befüllung und zur Befüllung mit Stickstoffeinleitung ver-wendet werden. Das Maß (18,5) ist die Höhe, in Millimeter, von der Oberkante des Verschlussmundstückes bis zur Unter¬seite des Halsstützrings.
Dieses Verschlussmundstück ist dafür ausgelegt, ausschließlich Kunststoffverschlüsse mit Originalitäts-sicherung aufzunehmen. Während des ersten Öffnens wird das Originalitätssicherungsband von der Verschlusskappe getrennt und bleibt bei einer Einwegflasche auf dem Flaschenhals zurück oder es reißt bei Mehrwegflaschen, bleibt aber mit der Verschlusskappe verbunden.
Emballage - Récipients en plastique rigide - Bague PET 30/25 H (18,5)
La présente Norme européenne définit les prescriptions et dimensions de la bague à vis haute de 30 mm à trois (3) filets pour le bouchage des eaux plates et boissons non carbonatées.
La bague peut être utilisée pour le conditionnement en milieu aseptique et/ou avec injection d'azote. La dimension (18,5) est la hauteur en millimètres entre le sommet de la bague et le bas de la collerette support.
Cette bague est prévue pour recevoir uniquement une capsule plastique avec témoin d’inviolabilité, ou bande de garantie. Lors de la première ouverture, le témoin d’inviolabilité se déchirera et restera sur la bouteille dans le cas d'utilisation d'une bouteille jetable ou, comme sur le marché des bouteilles retournables, le témoin d’inviolabilité se déchirera mais restera solidaire de la capsule.
Embalaža - Toge plastične posode - PET-grla 30/25 H (18,5)
Ta dokument določa mere in zahteve za visoko navojno grlo s premerom 30 mm in trojnim začetkom navoja za negazirano vodo in negazirane napitke. To grlo se lahko uporablja za aseptično polnjenje in polnjenje z dodajanjem dušika. Mera (18,5) je višina v milimetrih od vrha grla do dna podpornega okrajka. Grlu se lahko doda le plastičen čep, ki varuje pred nedovoljenim odpiranjem. Pri prvem odpiranju se obroček, ki varuje pred nedovoljenim odpiranjem, loči od lupine čepa in ostane na grlu steklenice ali pa se, kot pri povratnih steklenicah, pretrga, vendar ostane pritrjen na lupino čepa.

Overview
SIST EN 16064:2012 is a European standard that defines the dimensions and functional requirements for the 30 mm PET screw finish, specifically the 30/25 High (18,5) type, used on rigid plastic containers. This standardized finish is designed primarily for flat waters and non-carbonated beverages. It ensures that packaging manufacturers and fillers use consistent, high-quality PET bottle neck finishes compatible with tamper-evident plastic closures. The specification supports essential packaging goals such as product safety, tamper detection, and efficient bottling-including aseptic and nitrogen-enhanced filling processes.
Key Topics
- 30/25 High (18,5) PET Finish: Specifies a 30 mm tall screw finish with three thread starts spaced 120° apart and a height of 18,5 mm from the top of the finish to the support ledge.
- Compatibility and Safety: Designed exclusively for tamper evident plastic closures. The tamper-evident band is engineered to either separate and remain on a one-way bottle neck or tear, depending on the bottle’s recyclability and reuse.
- Functional Requirements:
- Supports top, side, and inside sealing.
- Surface finish must be smooth to prevent leaks.
- Strict limits on manufacturing imperfections and flash (excess plastic from molding).
- Precise dimensional tolerances for effective closure compatibility.
- Manufacturing Quality: Stipulates maximum allowable deviations in thread alignment, sealing surface uniformity, and finish smoothness, helping prevent leaks and closure failure.
Applications
This standard is relevant in several key sectors:
- Beverage Packaging: Widely used for water, juice, and non-carbonated drinks, ensuring reliable filling and transport in PET bottles.
- Aseptic and Nitrogen Filling: Suitable for modern packaging lines that require clean, sterile bottling or the use of nitrogen to enhance product shelf life and maintain bottle integrity.
- Tamper Evident Packaging: Critical for consumer safety-ensuring the integrity of the product until first opening. This finish works with closures that visually indicate tampering, supporting product trust.
- Returnable and One-way Bottles: Adaptable for both single-use and reusable bottle systems in beverage markets, thanks to the flexible design of the tamper-evident band.
Manufacturers and bottlers adhering to SIST EN 16064:2012 benefit from greater compatibility across supply chains, improved sealing reliability, and easier compliance with EU regulatory and safety requirements. This standard also aids suppliers and closure manufacturers in producing compatible components for the wider European packaging market.
Related Standards
For a comprehensive approach to PET container neck finishes and closures, consider the following related standards:
- EN 16064:2011: The European reference standard, on which SIST EN 16064:2012 is based.
- CE.T.I.E. GME 30.21: Technical data sheet detailing similar PET finish specifications for bottling and packaging.
- ISO 13399 series: General guidance on packaging and bottle neck dimensions (complementary for broader applications).
- Other SIST and EN Packaging Standards: Covering additional container types, sealing systems, and closure specifications for rigid plastic packaging in the beverage industry.
Adopting SIST EN 16064:2012 ensures PET bottle packaging delivers secure, leak-proof, and tamper-evident performance, supporting both industry efficiency and consumer confidence.
