ISO 11156:2011为包装的设计和评估提供了一个框架，以便更多的人，包括来自不同文化和语言背景的人、老年人以及感官、身体和认知功能减弱或过敏的人，能够正确识别、处理和使用包装。它考虑了包装产品生命周期的各个方面，从产品的识别、购买和使用到包装的分离和处置。 ISO 11156:2011不适用于单个包装的尺寸、材料、制造方法或评估方法。

ISO 11156:2011 provides a framework for design and evaluation of packages so that more people, including persons from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds, older persons and persons whose sensory, physical, and cognitive functions have been weakened or have allergies, can appropriately identify handle and use the contents. It considers varying aspects of the packaged product lifecycle from identification of the product and purchase and use of the product to the separation and disposal of the package. ISO 11156:2011 does not apply to dimensions, materials, manufacturing methods, or evaluation methods of individual packages.
