15、 the flip-top cap on flexible tubes. It is applicable to aluminium, plastic and laminated tubes used for packing pharmaceutical, cosmetic, hygiene, food and other domestic and industrial products. 2 Test principle and testing equipment The test principle is described in Figure 1. Key a maximum devia
16、tion in mm/degree 1 axis of symmetry of cap hinge 2 deviation 3 axis of symmetry of back printed face Figure 1 Test principle Any test equipment which is able to accurately measure the correct orientation of the flip-top cap can be used. An example for a suitable test device is given in Figure 2. BS
17、 EN 16565:2014EN 16565:2014 (E). 5 Figure 2 Example for test device and measurement 3 Execution Take samples of the finished product (empty tube including flip-top cap). Measure the deviation with the test device. Read the deviation. The maximum deviation shall stay within the limits given in Table
