19、s follows. 3.1.1 Flat Flat or strip form used for product protection, normally folded or wrapped around the edge during application. 3.1.2 Corner protectors Small moulded, cut or formed pieces (up to 100 mm in length) used as edge protection where no additional packaging strength is provided. 3.1.3
20、Profiles Pre-formed lengths (greater than 100 mm in length) used for edge protection or reinforcement. 3.2 Material Edge protectors are normally (but not exclusively) manufactured from recycled materials: metal, plastic, paper, composite, miscellaneous. 3.3 General Because they are manufactured from
21、 recycled materials, edge protectors themselves may be subject to minor irregularities. Edge protectors shall not delaminate. For multiple ply protectors, different colours may be visible. 3.4 Mechanical properties of profiles Edge protectors are required to perform in a wide range of environments,
22、some of which may affect performance. Edge protectors shall not delaminate under these conditions. For this reason, test pieces shall be conditioned for 72 h according to EN ISO 2233. Because the mechanical properties of profiles may be variable, five test pieces are measured.Page 5 EN 13393:2001 BS
