ISO 27996:2009 is applicable to the general requirements for data recording procedures,packaging, and storing of elastomeric seals and seal assemblies which include an elastomeric element prior to the seal being assembled into hardware components.
The requirements for packaging are an integral part of the controlled storage procedure and provide a means of positive product identity from the time of manufacture to the time of assembly into a component.
This International Standard does not establish limitations or storage times for assembled components nor the operating life of these components.
