ISO 15105 Gas Permeability Testing of Disposable Plastics
The ISO 15105 standard specifies the procedure for determining the gas permeability of disposable plastics. This test is critical in ensuring that products like packaging films, medical devices, and food containers maintain their intended performance by effectively preventing unwanted gases from passing through them.
In the context of disposable plastics, maintaining a controlled environment within these materials is essential. For instance, in food packaging, gas permeability can affect shelf life by allowing oxygen to enter, leading to spoilage or rancidity. In medical devices, excessive gas permeation could result in contamination or degradation of sensitive components.
Our testing adheres strictly to the ISO 15105 standard, which involves subjecting a sample to controlled conditions that simulate real-world environments. The test measures the rate at which gases like oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor pass through the material over time. This data is crucial for quality managers and compliance officers in ensuring regulatory adherence.
The testing process begins with precise specimen preparation. Samples are cut into standardized sizes to ensure uniformity across tests. These samples are then mounted on a gas permeation apparatus designed specifically for this test, which operates under controlled temperature and humidity conditions. The accuracy of the results is highly dependent on these parameters, as they influence the rate at which gases diffuse through the material.
The duration of the test can vary depending on the application. For instance, medical devices might require a longer exposure period to ensure long-term stability, while food packaging may need shorter periods due to shelf-life considerations. Once the testing is complete, our laboratories analyze the results and generate detailed reports that include not only the permeability values but also any deviations from expected performance.
Understanding gas permeability in disposable plastics is vital for R&D engineers as they develop new products or improve existing ones. By identifying the optimal barrier properties, these professionals can enhance product performance, extend shelf life, and ensure safety. Procurement teams benefit by selecting suppliers who meet stringent quality standards, thus reducing the risk of product failure.
The ISO 15105 standard provides a robust framework for conducting this type of testing. It ensures that all laboratories follow consistent procedures, which leads to reliable and comparable results across different facilities. This consistency is crucial in maintaining confidence in the integrity of the testing process.

Applied Standards
The ISO 15105 standard is primarily applied in the evaluation of gas permeability through disposable plastic materials. This includes packaging films, medical device components, and any other products that require controlled gas environments to maintain their integrity. The standard specifies detailed procedures for preparing specimens, setting up the testing apparatus, and interpreting results.
The procedure outlined in ISO 15105 is designed to simulate real-world conditions as closely as possible. This includes controlling temperature and humidity levels within a defined range that reflects typical environmental conditions. By doing so, we can provide accurate assessments of how materials will perform under actual use scenarios.
For packaging films, the test helps manufacturers understand the extent of gas transmission through their products. In medical devices, this information is crucial for ensuring that sensitive components remain stable and free from contamination. The standard also allows for customization of testing conditions based on specific product requirements, making it versatile across various industries.
The application of ISO 15105 ensures consistency in the evaluation process. This consistency is vital for regulatory compliance and quality assurance. Regulatory bodies often require adherence to international standards like this one when certifying products for market release. By following these guidelines, we can provide clients with confidence that their products meet necessary safety and performance criteria.
