Non-sharp RMW containers must be lined with plastic RMW bags that are marked and certified by the manufacturer to meet the 165 gram (G) impact strength ASTM D 1709-01 and how many grams tear strength ASTM D 1922-00a standards?

Explanation:
This item tests the tear resistance of plastic RMW bags used as liners for non-sharp containers. Tear strength, measured by ASTM D 1922-00a, indicates how much force in grams is needed to propagate a tear in the film. The requirement calls for a tear strength of 480 grams, which helps ensure the liner won’t tear when waste is loaded, moved, or transported. This sits alongside the 165-gram impact strength from ASTM D 1709-01, which guards against puncture or cracking from minor impacts. Together, these specs keep the waste containment reliable. Among the options, 480 grams is the rating that meets the required tear strength.
