ISO 21898:2004 is an international standard that specifies requirements for the design, construction, materials, testing, and safe use of Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) used for transporting and storing non-dangerous solid materials in bulk. The standard helps ensure that FIBCs are manufactured and used in a manner that provides strength, durability, safety, and reliability throughout handling, storage, and transportation processes.

Advantages
