Special strength properties of new glass bottles

Scope of application

This data sheet defines additional testing for the evaluation of designs of new bottles. All new designs should be able to satisfy the Strength requirements below.
If the requirements are not fulfilled, then an investigation as to the root cause should be made.
Continuation of testing may take place during full production at the discretion of the manufacturer.
Tests or specifications concerning specifically the containers for carbonated contents (> 2 g/l CO2) are defined in the Cetie data sheet DT11.00 - STANDARDS & PROCEDURES FOR THE CONTROL OF MANUFACTURE OF CARBONATED BEVERAGE BOTTLES FOR GREATER THAN 2g CO2/L CARBONATION.
