While specific barrier requirements (like oxygen or moisture transmission rates) often depend on the specific food item, JIS Z 1707 provides the methodology to ensure consistency in these measurements. jis z 1707
: Covers single-layer and multi-layer films mainly composed of high-polymer materials. | Parameter | JIS Z 1707 (Japan) |
Using a "dart drop" or pendulum method, this test determines the film’s ability to absorb energy during a sudden impact, simulating a package being dropped. 5. Shrinkage Factor If a film exceeds this value, it fails
Plastic film manufacturers use JIS Z 1707 as a benchmark for product development and quality control. In‑house testing according to the standard helps manufacturers:
: To adequately prevent food spoilage, a film must maintain a WVTR of no more than 168 g/m² per 24 hours . If a film exceeds this value, it fails to act as a proper moisture barrier.
JIS Z 1707 offers a practical, health-centered framework for identifying and managing occupational health risks in Japanese workplaces. Whether you are implementing it directly or aligning your existing health and safety system with its principles, the standard helps prioritize worker health, reduce long-term harms, and strengthen overall operational resilience.
