EXPLANATORY NOTE
These Regulations implement Council Directive No. 75/107/EEC relating to bottles used as measuring containers. The Regulations define the EEC sign for such bottles, and provide that any bottle marked with the EEC sign shall comply with the relevant requirements of the Directive. These requirements relate to nominal capacity, for which maximum and minimum permissible limits of error are laid down, and the marking of the bottle with the nominal capacity, the manufacturer's identifying mark and the EEC sign.
The Regulations require manufacturers to obtain approval for their identifying marks, and to keep production control records. They enable inspectors to check batches of bottles at the manufacturers or importers premises in accordance with procedures laid down in Annex II to the Directive, and also to forbid the sale of batches of bottles which do not comply.
The Regulations include provisions for offences and penalties in connection with the sale by manufacturers and importers of bottles which are marked with the EEC sign but which do not comply with the Regulations. The Regulations also provide for offences and penalties for systematically exploiting the permissible limits of error and for failing to comply with the direction of an inspector relating to bottles not complying with the Regulations.
