2 Normative references

The contents of the following documents, through normative references within the text, constitute essential provisions of this document. Dated citations are not included.

For references to documents, only the version corresponding to that date applies to this document; for undated references, the latest version (including all amendments) applies.

3 Terms and Definitions

The terms and definitions defined in GB/T 2035 apply to this document.

4 Classification

4.1 According to the inlet diameter, they are divided into open type and closed type. Open type has an inlet diameter greater than 70mm, while closed type has an inlet diameter not greater than 70mm.

The type is closed.

4.2 Based on their permeability, they are divided into sealed and permeable types. Containers with a sealed opening and lid structure are classified as sealed, while those with a sealed opening and lid structure are classified as permeable.

A device that has both liquid sealing and air permeability is called a breathable type.

4.3 Containers are classified into conventional containers and high-barrier containers based on their barrier properties. Conventional containers are made of a single polyethylene material; high-barrier containers are made by adding high-barrier materials.

Materials with multi-layered composite structures and high barrier properties are high-barrier containers.

5 Requirements

5.1 Appearance

The appearance should meet the requirements of Table 1.
