Control of the filling volumes in prepacked glass containers

Scope of application

The purpose of this guide is to provide a benchmark for bottlers for controlling volumes.
Two different scenarios are considered:
  • Control by weighing (can be used with all types of bottles);
  • Control by level (can only be used with Measuring Container bottles).
Note that we are only dealing here with control methods (generally performed by sampling) and not with filling methods.
