17、ng.iv ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO 17480:2015ISO 17480:2015(E)IntroductionIn our ageing world, there has been increasing awareness of full and effective participation of older persons and persons with disabilities in society on an equal basis. A common challenge facing the packaging industry i

18、n the world is to develop packages which are easy to open for more people, including older persons and persons with disabilities.Ease of opening in packaging adds more value to the usability of packaged products. In addition to sealing performance, greater consideration needs to be given to ease-of-

19、opening function when designing packaging.While degrees of ease of opening and satisfaction of opening can vary widely in ages, sex, physical ability, and features, etc., this International Standard addresses essential points to enhance ease of opening in packaging from accessible design viewpoints.

20、 ISO 2015 All rights reserved vBS ISO 17480:2015BS ISO 17480:2015Packaging Accessible design Ease of opening1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies requirements and recommendations for the accessible design for packaging with a focus on ease of opening. It applies to reclosable and non-reclosab

21、le consumer packaging without using any other mechanical means. This International Standard covers the design aspects addressing openability including opening location, opening methods, as well as evaluation techniques, both instrumented and user-based. This International Standard is primarily for d

22、esigners, developers, and evaluators of packaging and will also be useful for other disciplines.For products regulated for safety or other reasons (e.g. toxic or dangerous goods and substances, medicinal products, and medical devices), those regulations take precedence.2 Normative referencesThe foll

This should be achieved b

31、y considering the following: identification of the main goals (e.g. access to the contents); identification of the tasks needed to achieve intended goals (e.g. gripping, lifting, pulling, etc.); specify intended users, taking into consideration the variety of physical, psychological, and cultural ch

32、aracteristics; specify the environments in which the package is (or is intended to be) used. Those attributes of the physical or social environment are likely to have impacts on achieving the goals.4.1.2 Opening strengthThe nominal force to open the package shall be achievable by the intended users.

33、 This force should be as low as possible without compromising the packaging integrity. Information on aspects of opening strength is shown in Annex C.4.1.3 DexterityThe packaging opening mechanism shall be designed so that it is easily manipulated by the users with the widest range of characteristic

34、s and capabilities. Information on aspects of dexterity is shown in Annex C.2 ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO 17480:2015ISO 17480:2015(E)4.1.4 CognitionOpening of the packaging shall be designed so that it is easily understood by the user. Consideration should be given to a users sense of touch,

35、sight, etc. Information on human cognitive, visual and tactile aspects is shown in Annex E.4.2 Specific considerations4.2.1 Opening locationThe opening location shall be readily found and its use easily understood. This can be achieved by applying the following design considerations. The opening loc

36、ation is differentiated by visual markings using characters and/or imagery, such as pictograms. Visual markings are designed by appropriate combinations of colour, font size, font type, etc. The opening location is differentiated by tactile markings using shape, notches, embossing, texture, etc.NOTE

37、 Supporting data for human cognitive, visual and tactile aspects is in Annex E.4.2.2 Methods and mechanisms of opening the packageThe opening method and mechanism shall be easily identifiable and intuitively understandable. This can be achieved by applying the following design considerations. The op

38、ening methods and mechanisms (turn, tear, peel, pull, push, etc.) are clearly shown if not evident. The package is designed so that it can be opened smoothly, irrespective of the size or power of the users hands. The package is designed in such a way that spillage is prevented and that there is no r

39、isk of injury for the user.4.2.3 Force and handling aspectsThe forces and handling aspects of the opening shall result in favourable openability.The nominal force to open the package shall accommodate the large variety of the opening strength by the intended user (e.g. children, people with disabili

40、ties, and older people) and the packaging integrity.The package and its opening mechanisms shall be easily manipulated, taking into account the large variety of-users dexterities (e.g. children, people with disabilities, older people, etc.).NOTE Supporting data for strength and dexterity is in Annex

41、 C.4.2.4 Reclosing of the packageReclosing of the package (if applicable) shall be easy. This can be achieved by applying the following design considerations: reclosing method is easily understood if not clear immediately; reclosing method and procedure are made clear by using characters/imagery, su

42、ch as pictograms with appropriate combinations of their size, font, contrast, and colour; reclosable packages are designed so that they can be re-opened smoothly.EXAMPLE A touch or auditory (e.g. click) mechanism is used for reclosable packages to affirm that the package has been reclosed.

43、All rights reserved 3BS ISO 17480:2015ISO 17480:2015(E)5 Evaluation of ease of opening5.1 GeneralInstrument-based evaluation uses measuring instruments to obtain quantified data, such as force and torque levels in physical tests.Instrument-based methods in their current form (as shown in Annex B) wi

44、ll provide indicative measures as to the nominal values of opening torque or force required but are unlikely to establish exact limits on a users ability.Hence, user-based studies are needed to be undertaken in parallel with instrument-based studies to complement the results from those tests (i.e. i

45、f instrument evaluation consistently predicts lower opening forces on Pack A than Pack B, we would expect Pack A to be opened by more people more easily).User-based evaluation relies on methods involving humans with or without the use of measuring instruments.It provides insight into the users senso

46、ry, physical, and cognitive aspects of accessibility.5.2 Instrument-based evaluationInstrument test methods can provide quantitative data with regards to certain attributes, such as removal torque, peel strength, and ring pull force (mechanical). Evaluation of package design properties such as glare

47、, colour contrast, friction, size, weight, and temperature can be measured by different types of instruments.When designing a packaging to be easy to open, the data obtained from mechanical tests should be used in combination with other design criteria of importance, as those described under Clause

48、4. See Annex B and Annex C.The data generated by these instrument-based evaluation test methods can be used to compare characteristics of related packaging systems and to provide possible insights for improved designs.5.3 User-based evaluationPanel tests enable the qualitative assessment of packagin

49、g designs and allow the development of an understanding of users approach to packaging openability and handling. Panel tests can be used in conjunction with other qualitative research methods such as questionnaires and structured or unstructured interviews. Panel tests can aid in the development process and the resulting data can inform on the performance of a packaging against predetermined criteria.The data generated by these user-based evaluation test methods can provide possible insights for improved designs.Inste
