This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an iden
17、tical text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2001, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by August 2001. According to the CENEENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Stand
18、ard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Page 4 EN 13054:2001 Introduction Two methods are described in this document. Other methods may be
19、used. It is the responsibility of the user of this Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practice in accordance with relevant legislation. 1 Scope This standard specifies two methods of determining the location of the centre of gravity of flat sided rigid packages. In the following tex
20、t, a package is called “a test item“. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated referenc
21、es, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments). EN 22206, Packaging - Complete, fille

23、 Apparatus Two types of apparatus are used according to the selected test method. 4.1 Apparatus for Procedure A : Using the edge of a rigid flat horizontal table Determination of the balance position using the edge of a rigid flat horizontal table as shown in Figure 1. The table shall have a straigh
24、t square edge and sufficient strength to support the test item.

25、re B : Using a roller 4.2.1 Roller Determination of the balance position by balancing the test item using a roller as shown in Figure 2. The rigid roller shall have sufficient diameter and length to allow free rolling movement under the test item as shown in Figure 2. Key 1 Balance position Figure 2
26、 - Procedure B : Using a roller to determine the balance position 4.2.2 Rigid flat horizontal surface 4.3 Additional equipment If needed, a flat board large enough to support entirely any face of the test item, without the board deforming significantly. The mass of the board shall not exceed 5 % of
27、the mass of the test item. 5 Test item preparation The test item shall be filled with its intended contents. Ensure that the test item is closed normally as if ready for distribution. 6 Procedures 6.1 General Procedure A is to be used for light items, which can be easily handled by one person. Heavi
28、er packages should be tested using procedure B. Select and identify 3 faces which meet at a corner as reference faces, numbered according to EN 22206. When an item travels on its base, it is convenient to use this base as a reference face. ( NOTE Figures 3 and 4 show both methods using 2 faces, but
29、orthogonal faces may be used. 6.2 Procedure A : Using the edge of a rigid flat horizontal table Determine the balance position by using the edge of a rigid flat horizontal table as shown in Figure 3. - STD*BSI BS EN 13054-ENGL 2001 = Lb24669 0902LLB O88 Page 7 EN 13054:2001 NOTE The numbering of the
30、 reference faces are given as an example. Figure 3 - Procedure A : Using a rigid table 6.2.1 edge of the table. Place the test item on the table on the first reference face with the end face of this test item level with the 6.2.2 Pull the test item slowly and squarely off the table until the positio
31、n of balance or tip is reached. 6.2.3 centrally to support the test item. If deformation of the test item occurs due to pressure from the edge, a flat rigid board should be placed 6.2.4 Ensure that the test item is loosely supported so that it does not fall off the table. 6.2.5 the position of the b
32、alance. The centre of gravity is within the cross section of the test item vertically in line with the edge of the table at 6.2.6 Repeat the test for the two other reference faces to determine the centre of gravity. 6.2.7 The centre of gravity is to be determined by the intersection of the three cro
33、ss sections. 6.3 Procedure B : Using a roller Determine the balance position by balancing the test item on a roller as shown in Figure 4. Page 8 EN 13054:2001 NOTE The numbering of the reference faces are given as an example. Figure 4 - Procedure B : Using a roller 6.3.1 Position the test item on th
34、e first reference face squarely on the roller as near as possible to the expected balance position. Ensure that the roller extends beyond the full width on the test item on the roller. Move the test item on the roller until the position of balance is reached. 6.3.2 test item and the roller. If press
35、ure from the roller deforms the test item, a flat rigid board should be placed centrally between the 6.3.3 of the roller at the position of balance. The centre of gravity lies within the vertical cross section area of the test item vertically in line with the axis 6.3.4 Repeat the test procedure for
36、 the other reference faces. 6.3.5 The centre of gravity is to be determined by the intersection of the three cross sections. 7 Expression of results The position of the centre of gravity is defined as the orthogonal distance from the 3 predetermined reference faces according to EN 22206. 8 Marking I
37、f marking is required, the centre of gravity shall be placed on all six sides, except where the test item normally travels on its base, when only the four sides need to be marked.
