Scope

This part of the series of EN 868 provides examples of particular requirements and test methods for paper bags manufactured from paper specified in Part 3 of this standard. It introduces no additional requirements to the general requirements of Part 1 but provides guidance based upon various elements of former, relevant national standards. As such, the particular requirements in 4.2 to 4.7 can be used to demonstrate compliance with one or more but not all of the requirements of Part 1. Paper bags specified in this part are suitable for use as packaging of medical devices which are to be terminally sterilized.
