This European Standard covers the dimensional characteristics, mechanical requirements and fitness for purpose requirements for plastic freezer bags used for freezing foodstuffs. It also specifies test methods to check these requirements.
It can be applied to plastic bags reserved for domestic use for the freezing of foodstuffs, including the following types:
The standard defines several requirements for plastic freezer bags, including dimensions, material properties, and labeling. Bags should be made of plastic material suitable for use in freezing temperatures and should be resistant to tearing or puncturing during use. Bags should also be sealed to prevent air or moisture from escaping, which could affect the quality of stored food.
Additionally, the standard specifies several test methods for evaluating the performance of plastic freezer bags. These tests include evaluating bags' dimensions, thickness and strength, as well as their resistance to impact, tear and puncture. Bags should also be tested to ensure they are water vapor tight and maintain seal integrity under freezing conditions.
Overall, EN 14867 lays down a comprehensive set of requirements and test methods to ensure that plastic freezer bags are fit for purpose and that food can be relied upon to be stored safely in freezer conditions.
