JIS S 0022

The JIS S 0022 standard outlines the methodology and requirements for measuring the torque required to open or close bottle caps. This Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) is specifically relevant for manufacturers and quality control labs in the plastic bottle industry, ensuring that bottle caps function reliably and meet consumer safety expectations.

Key Focus Areas of JIS S 0022:

• Torque Measurement: The standard details the correct procedures for applying torque to plastic bottle caps, ensuring that they open with ease while remaining secure during transport and storage.
• Safety and Usability: JIS S 0022 emphasizes the importance of maintaining the balance between tight sealing and ease of opening, especially in consumer applications where usability is crucial.
• Test Parameters: The standard prescribes specific guidelines for testing conditions, such as the speed of rotation, measurement units, and environmental factors that may affect the torque.
• Consistency in Production: By following JIS S 0022, manufacturers can maintain consistent torque performance across production batches, ensuring that caps are neither too loose nor too tight, protecting product integrity.

The Bottle Cap Torque Tester plays an essential role in helping manufacturers comply with JIS S 0022 by providing accurate torque measurements, guaranteeing that every bottle cap meets the required standards for both functionality and safety.
