ASTM F1306
ASTM F1306 Penetration Resistance test of plastic film describes a method with very similar objectives for measurement of flexible barrier films and laminates. It uses an indenter with a tip radius of 1.6 mm and a conical shaft with a 6° angle. The test is performed on a film strip, which is fastened over an opening with a 35 mm diameter.
Penetration resistance is a vital part of the quality of thin, flexible materials in which any sharp-edged item pointed downward will not break past the barrier of a film or laminate. ASTM F1306 is a specification regarding the slow rate penetration resistance properties of flexible barrier films and laminates.

Probe size: A hemispherical probe with a recommended diameter of 3.2 mm (biaxial stress) is generally used to make material testing comparable to the standard.
Sample test diameter: 34.9mm (generally diameter to probe ratio of at least 10:1)
Sample size: Sample thickness (±2% or ±0.0025), whichever is 76mm X 76mm square specimen
Test speed: 25mm/min (or within 500mm/min depending on the situation)
Calculation: Maximum Force, Destruction Point Energy
Standard
ASTM F1306 Standard Test Method for Slow Rate Penetration Resistance of Flexible Barrier Films and Laminates.
ASTM F1306 evaluate the slow puncture/penetration resistance of flexible barrier plastic films, multi-layer composite laminates under biaxial stress at a constant low speed. It captures three core failure indicators: peak puncture force, penetration displacement at rupture, and total puncture energy consumed to break the film.

JIS Z1707 General rules of plastic films for food packaging
JIS Z1707 unifies universal technical requirements for single-layer and multi-layer plastic films (<250 μm thickness) directly contacting food for food packaging. Not include laminated films containing paper or metal foil as structural layers.The test stilupated in this standard is mainly include: Tensile test, Heat-seal strength, Puncture strength, Static / kinetic friction, Impact strength, Water vapor transmission rate, Oxygen transmission rate, Heat resistance, Wetting tension, Haze, Surface roughness, Anti-fog properties, Shrinkage etc.,
