BVP screw finishes for non carbonated products

Scope of application

Specifications and dimensions of a series of screw finishes for the closure of beverages and other non-carbonated products. Finishes designed to take a tamper-evident closure which needs to be snapped before it can be opened, commonly known as a rolled on Pilferproof closure. 
The finishes, which include all the options in figures 1 and 3, are capped with closures which may or may not have an extended skirt to cover part of the neck of the bottle. 
These finishes, with the appropriate bore control, may also be fitted with an in-bore insert to control the pour or refilling.

WG chair: Niall MC GRATH - ENCIRC GLASS
This permanent group is dedicated to the creation and revision of Cetie's "GME*" neck finishes data sheets, and also to the revision of equivalent neck finishes data sheets previously submitted to official standardisation (ISO and/or CEN), dedicated to the production of glass bottles and jars for the food and beverage sectors. These neck finishes data sheets concern the following applications: ROPP, aluminum screw caps, crown caps, twist-off caps, cork or synthetic stoppers, bar-top, or swing stoppers.

*Initiated by the glass industry in the 1960s, the acronym 'GME' stands for 'Glass Manufacturing Experimental'. The idea was that Cetie, as an unofficial standards body, would only publish 'experimental' data sheets, before submitting these to the official standards bodies. At the same time, in the USA, the acronym 'GME' was also used. As the original meaning was lost over time, this nomenclature for Cetie's glass finishes documents has been, later on, applied to the PET finish data sheets.
