Overview

EN ISO 9100-14:2005 - Glass containers: Vacuum lug finishes - Part 14: 110 regular is a European adoption of ISO 9100-14:2005 published by CEN. The standard specifies the design and precise dimensions for a vacuum lug finish with a nominal size of 110 mm (regular) intended for wide‑mouth glass containers. It defines the cutter profile, thread construction, sealing area and dimensional tolerances needed to ensure consistent closure performance for vacuum‑sealed jars and wide-mouth bottles.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and purpose: Establishes the dimensional requirements for a 110 mm vacuum lug finish so closures and containers from different suppliers are compatible.
• Dimensional drawings: Contains detailed figures for the cutter profile, thread construction and an enlarged section view showing sealing surfaces and closure position.
• Critical features:
  • Cutter inclination and profile (shown in figures) for mold and tooling design.
  • Thread construction and leads for lug engagement and proper sealing.
  • Sealing surface requirements - it must be free of defects (checks, dips, crizzles) that could impair vacuum sealing.
  • Guidance to minimize ovality; diameters E and T should be concentric where possible for reliable closure function.
  • Cross‑hatched area in the drawings indicates the closure position and required clearance.
• Tolerance and selection: Unspecified details are selected according to application; for general tolerances the standard references EN 22768-1.
• Reference and origin: Based on CETIE data (GME 20‑12:1995) and prepared by CEN/TC 261 in collaboration with ISO/TC 63.

Applications

This standard is practical for professionals involved in the design, manufacture and quality assurance of wide‑mouth glass packaging where vacuum lug closures are used:

• Glass container manufacturers - specifying finish dimensions for mould design and production.
• Closure and cap makers - ensuring caps and lids mate correctly with a 110 regular vacuum lug finish.
• Tooling and mould designers - using cutter profiles and thread construction details to shape finish tooling.
• Packaging engineers and OEMs - verifying container/closure compatibility for vacuum-packed foods, preserves and other sealed products.
• Quality and inspection teams - checking sealing surfaces, concentricity and ovality to meet functional requirements.

Related standards

• EN 22768-1 (General tolerances) - referenced for linear and angular tolerances applicable where individual tolerances are not specified.
• ISO/TC 63 publications and CETIE guidance (GME 20‑12:1995) informed this document.
