Survey of critical hazards for the bottling industry - Detection and prevention

Scope of application

Critical defects are those defects that represent a safety hazard for the users of the product; bottling companies cannot accept knowingly to release critical defects in their finished product; therefore, either there exists an efficient way to prevent these defects, or the line should be equipped with suitable detecting devices, which must be reliable.
