The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each
11、member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
12、 Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different ty

17、ted labels of various substrates. If the bottles and containers are reused, they need to be cleaned thoroughly. Often, bottles and containers are used for different types of drinks. This requires the removal of the labels from the bottles and containers during the cleaning process. Usually, hot alka
18、line solution is used within the cleaning facilities. To ensure the stability of the process, the penetration of the cleaning solution through the label needs to occur rapidly. In addition, the labels need to stay intact to ease the process of removing them from the cleaning agent. Also, no dying of
19、 the solution must occur so as to minimize costs for the waste treatment of the cleaning solutions after neutralization. The test methods given in this International Standard have been successfully applied in the European beverage industry for decades and are also standardized as DIN Standards. ISO

21、ed to be refilled and reused, and resistance of printed labels against hot alkaline solution.Test results always deal with systems comprising of substrates, ink films and varnish films if present. This International Standard is valid for label substrates and printed labels. Label substrates include
22、metalized papers. The test procedures are also valid for the evaluation of inks and papers to be used in printing labels.This International Standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this International Sta
23、ndard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.2 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.2.1penetration timetime of travel for a liquid through a substrate2.2r

This s
34、olution may be used for up to 20 tests.2 ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO 12632:2015ISO 12632:2015(E)4.2.2 2,5 % sodium hydroxide solution (by mass), for testing the resistance of labels against hot alkaline solution, prepared from demineralized water. This solution shall contain commercial additi
35、ves used in industrial bottle cleaning facilities in typical concentrations (e.g. 0,2 %).4.2.3 Thymolphthaleine, ground into powder form.4.2.4 Ethanol.4.2.5 pH-neutral casein glue.4.2.6 Demineralized water.4.3 Preparation of the thymolphthaleine containing glueTwo spatula tips of thymolphthaleine ar
36、e dissolved in 50 ml ethanol and filtered. Five parts of this solution are mixed with 95 parts of pH-neutral caseine glue. Both the thymolphthaleine solution and the thymolphthaleine containing glue should not be older than one week. The pH neutral caseine glue should not be older than one year.5 Sp
37、ecimensInks shall be completely dried/cured, e.g. oxidative drying inks should be stored for 48 h prior to testing.5.1 Penetration and removal timeAt least three samples shall be tested. Circular specimens with a preferred diameter of 80 mm are cut out of larger sheets. Smaller die-cut labels may be
38、 used.5.2 Resistance against hot alkaline solutionMultiple specimens shall be tested. They shall have an area of (500 50) cm.6 Test procedureHot alkaline solution might cause severe etching of the human skin. Hot alkaline solution may irreversibly damage the eye if droplets are spilled into the eye.
39、 Safety glasses and protective gloves shall be used.6.1 Penetrability time of hot sodium hydroxide solution through labelsThe glue is coated onto a glass plate using the wire bar. The size of the coated area shall be larger in all dimensions than the label specimen to be tested. The specimen is plac
40、ed onto the coated area by means of tweezers and uniformly pressed onto the glass plate by a rubber roller. The label is removed from the glass plate using tweezers at an angle of 90. The label is glued onto the outer bottom of the petri dish without bubbles and dried for 24 h at room temperature.Th
41、e petri dish with the specimen facing downwards is submerged into 1 000 ml hot 1 % sodium hydroxide solution in the beaker and placed on the beaker insert. The temperature of the sodium hydroxide solution shall be (75 2) C if labels for glass bottles are to be tested and shall be adapted to the real
42、 temperature of the cleaning equipment if labels for plastic bottles are to be tested. The hot sodium hydroxide solution shall be stirred magnetically with (250 50) revolutions per minute. The time needed for the penetration of the sodium hydroxide solution through the label is measured. The endpoin
43、t is reached if three quarters of the specimen area have turned blue. ISO 2015 All rights reserved 3BS ISO 12632:2015ISO 12632:2015(E)6.2 Removal time of labelsThe test is performed according to 6.1. The time is measured from the start of the test until the label separates from the petri dish.6.3 Re
44、sistance against hot alkaline solutionPlace 1 000 ml 2,5 % sodium hydroxide solution in the beaker together with the beaker insert and a magnetic stirring bar. The solution is stirred by a magnetic stirrer at a speed of (250 50) revolutions per minute and heated to 85 C. Specimens are placed into th
45、e label insert and held for a period of 20 min. Multiple specimens shall be placed into the solution one by one using tweezers. The specimens are removed from the solution one by one after shaking individually in order to separate labels and to ensure the surface of the label is in contact with the
46、alkaline solution. The specimens are dried on laboratory filter paper. The alkaline solution is filtered using laboratory filter paper and a laboratory funnel.NOTE 1 The filtered alkaline solution may be used for the determination of the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and/or the absorbable organic hal
47、ogenated compounds (AOX). The amount of the filter residue may be weighed and expressed in g per 500 cm.Resistance against hot alkaline solution requires integrity of the substrate (no physical separation of the substrate fibers), integrity of the printed image (discolouration is possible for non-al
48、kali resistant inks) (samples on metalized substrates may show larger ink removal), and no colouration of the alkaline solution (after filtration).NOTE 2 There can be very fine solid ink particles present, erroneously simulating a coloration of the solution, which might not be able to be filtered of
49、f. This can be identified by leaving the solution for a long time without agitation. Alternatively, the solution might be centrifuged.7 Test reportThe test report shall include the following information: a reference to this International Standard, i.e. ISO 12632:2015; identification of the material tested (print process, substrate, ink, finishing, size, etc.); deviation from this procedure.In addition for tests according to 6.1 and 6.2: glue used; penetration time; removal time.In addition for tests according to
