Aluminium screw caps for still wine on BVS glass finishes
Scope of application
This data sheet gives specifications and dimensions for aluminium caps intended for still wine to be applied on BVS-type glass finishes according to EN 16293 - PACKAGING - GLASS PACKAGING - DEEP BVS FINISHES FOR STILL WINES.
For this data sheet, still wine is defined in EN 16293 - PACKAGING - GLASS PACKAGING - DEEP BVS FINISHES FOR STILL WINES, as a carbonation level < 1.2 g CO2/l and overpressure from CO2 < 1 bar. It concerns the cap before application with generic information on liner characteristics but does not specify liner type, for which several alternatives are available according to customer preference and the characteristics of the filled product. It does not cover caps for shallow finishes, only available for "BVP" type closures as given in Cetie specification EC4.03 - ALUMINIUM SCREW CAPS FOR STILL LIQUIDS ON BVP GLASS FINISHES.

This joint group aims to coordinate the production of documentation at the junction of glass container production and closure application. It accompanies the development of documentation for glass containers for different types of closures including, but not limited to, aluminum screw caps, crown caps, and their components (liners). This joint group also provides an opportunity for cap and liners manufacturers to open discussions on specific work items of the permanent glass groups
