Sub-Committee Activities


F02 Scope

The development of terminology, test methods, practices, and specifications for flexible barrier packaging, and the promotion of

research in this field. Standards under the jurisdiction of other Committees shall be used when applicable.

The area of interest of the committee is flexible barrier packaging including the component barrier materials, their properties, and

package design, development and production.Flexible barrier packaging for the purpose of this Committee includes any package with at least one flexible component that can be bent or

folded back upon itself.Typical flexible barrier materials are paper, nonwovens, plastic films,

and metal foils used alone, treated or in various combinations.
