Nanotechnologies – Polymeric nanocomposite films for food packaging with barrier properties – Specification of characteristics and measurement methods

This document specifies characteristics including barrier properties to be measured of polymeric nanocomposite films used for improving food packaging. The barrier properties cover gas (oxygen), water vapour transmission and UV-Vis light transparency. This document also describes the relevant measurement methods. This document addresses neither safety and health issues related to the food packaging nor environmental aspects.
