Foreword
This standard replaces GB/T 6544-1999 “Corrugated fiberboard”, GB/T 16718-
1996 “Packing material - Heavy duty corrugated fiberboard” and GB/T 5034-
1985 “Corrugated fiberboard for packaging of export product”. This standard is
a revision of GB/T 6544-1999, GB/T 16718-1996 and GB/T 5034-1985. The
above three standards are integrated in the revision process.
As compared with GB/T 6544-1999, GB/T 16718-1996 and GB/T 5034-1985,
the main changes of this standard are as follows.
- USE the normative reference instead of reference standards. DELETE
GB/T 6548 “Determination of ply adhesive strength for corrugated
fiberboard”. DELETE GB/T 4857.2-1992 “Packaging - Transport packages
- Temperature and humidity conditioning”. DELETE GB/T 16717-1996
“Packing containers - Heavy duty corrugated box” (clause 2 of the 1999
version; clause 2 of the 1996 version; clause 2 of this version);
- ADD the definition and code of fluted paper, triple-wall corrugated
fiberboard. ADD the definition of minimum combined weight of facings
including center facings of double-wall and triple-wall board. MODIFY the
English expression of single-wall corrugated fiberboard and double-wall
corrugated fiberboard. DELETE the definition and code of the heavy-duty
corrugated fiberboard, composite corrugated fiberboard, tetra-wall, double-
wall, six-wall, triple-wall composite/heavy-duty corrugated fiberboard
(clause 3 of the 1999 version; clause 3 of the 1996 version; clause 1 of the
1985 version; clause 3 of this version);
- ADD the structure and classification of corrugated fiberboard (clause 4 of
the 1999 version; clause 1 of the 1985 version; clause 4 and Appendix A of
this version);
- ADD (MODIFY) the type of corrugated fiberboard. MODIFY the
requirements for the index (Table 1 of clause 4 of the 1999 version; clause
5 of the 1996 version; clause 2 of the 1985 version; Table 1 of clause 4 of
this version);
- ADD the structure and symbolic representation of the corrugation type of
the corrugated fiberboard, both the number of corrugations and the width
index of corrugation (Table 2 in clause 4 of the 1999 version; clause 5 of
the 1996 version; clause 2 of the 1985 version; Figure 1 and Table 2 of this
version);
- MODIFY the requirements for the ply adhesive strength of corrugated
fiberboard (clause 5 of the 1999 version; clause 2 of the 1985 version;
clause 5 of this version);
