WG chair: Arnaud JANIN - VERALLIA FRANCE

This permanent group is dedicated to a wide range of topics downstream of the production of glass bottles and jars dedicated to the food and beverage industries:

  • Surface treatments, marking, labelling;
  • Testing methods (impact, headspace, internal pressure, etc.);
  • Nomenclatures (of finishes, jars, bottles, and visual defects, etc.);
  • Quality management (food and beverage safety, best practices, regulations).
