prEN 16592

This European Standard specifies the design and dimensions of the 29 mm screw finish with three (3) thread starts for flat waters and non-carbonated beverages. This finish is designated PET finish 29/25 (12,6). This finish can be used for aseptic filling and filling with introduction of nitrogen (internal overpressure inferior to 1 bar max). The dimension (12,6) is the height in millimetres from the top of finish to the bottom of the support ledge. This finish is designed to accept a tamper evident plastic closure only. During first opening, the tamper evident band will separate from the closure shell and stay on a one way bottle neck or like bottles in the returnable market, the tamper evident band will tear but will remain connected to the closure shell.
