BS EN 13207:2025

This standard BS EN 13207:2025 Plastics. Thermoplastic silage films and tubes for use in agriculture is classified in these ICS categories:

• 83.140.10 Films and sheets
• 65.040.20 Buildings and installations for processing and storage of agricultural produce

This document specifies the requirements related to dimensional, mechanical, and optical characteristics of thermoplastic films and tubes used during the manufacture of silage and designed to last at least one year for protecting fodder. It specifies a classification for the durability of silage films and the test methods referred to in this document. This document is applicable to transparent, black, white or coloured (e.g. black/white) thermoplastic silage films based on polyethylene, ethylene copolymer, EVOH and polyamide. These films are intended for covering bunker silos, silage tubes or silage clamps for preserving forage. They protect the forage and preserve it from rain and air. These films are not intended to cover bales piles (e.g. straw bales and hay bales). This document does not apply to silage films obtained by sealing two or more films in machine direction. This document also provides guideline for installation, use and removal conditions of silage films. It also provides guideline for the conventional useful lifetime, as well as rules that allow evaluating the remaining use potential in the event of a failure before the normal end-of-use date.
