COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 19 December 1974
on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to
the making-up by volume of certain prepackaged liquids
(75/106/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1);
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee (2);
Whereas in most of the Member States the conditions of presentation
for sale of liquids in prepackages are the subject of mandatory regula-tions which differ from one Member State to another, thereby hinderingtrade in such prepackages; whereas such provisions must therefore be
approximated;
Whereas in order to enable consumers to be correctly informed, the
method of marking on the prepackage the nominal volume of the liquid
contained in the prepackage should be prescribed;
Whereas it is also necessary to specify the maximum permissible errors
in the contents of prepackages and whereas a reference method for
such control should be defined in order to provide a simple method of
ensuring that prepackages conform with the provisions laid down;
Whereas it is necessary to reduce as far as possible the number of
volumes of contents that are too close to others of the same product
and which consequently are liable to mislead the consumer; whereas,however, in view of the extremely high stocks of prepackages in theCommunity such a reduction can only be undertaken gradually;
Whereas Council Directive No 71/316/EEC (
3) of 26 July 1971 on the
approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to commonprovisions for both measuring instruments and methods of metrologicalcontrol, as last amended by the Act of Accession (
4), provides, in
Article 16, that the harmonization of the requirements for marketing
certain products, in particular as regards the prescription, measurementand marking of prepacked quantities, may be covered by separateDirectives;
Whereas since too quick a change in the means of determining quantity
laid down by their national legislation and the organization of newsystems of control as well as the adoption of a new measurementsystem would present difficulties for certain Member States, a transi-tional period should be provided for these Member States; whereas
such provision should not, however, further inhibit intra-Community
trade in the products concerned and should not prejudice implementa-tion of the Directive in the other Member States,1975L0106 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 2

ANNEX I
1. OBJECTIVES
Prepackages covered by this Directive shall be made up in such a way that
the completed prepackages satisfy the following requirements:
1.1. the actual volume of the contents shall not be less, on average, than the
nominal volume of the contents;
1.2. the proportion of prepackages having a negative error greater than the
tolerable negative error laid down in subsection 2.4 shall be sufficiently
small for batches of prepackages to satisfy the requirements of the tests
specified in Annex II;
1.3. no prepackage having a negative error greater than twice the tolerable
negative error given in the table of subsection 2.4 may be marked with
the EEC mark provided for in subsection 3.3.
2. DEFINITIONS AND BASIC PROVISIONS
2.1. The nominal volume of the contents of a prepackage is the volume indi-
cated on the prepackage, i.e., the volume of liquid which the prepackage
is deemed to contain.
2.2. The actual volume of the contents of a prepackage is the volume of
liquid it in fact contains. In all checking operations the value employed
for actual volume of the contents shall be measured at or corrected to a
temperature of 20 ºC.
2.3. The negative error is the quantity by which the actual volume of the
contents is less than the nominal volume of the contents of the
prepackage.
2.4. The tolerable negative error shall be fixed in accordance with the
following table:
Nominal volume of the
contents Vnin millilitresTolerable negative error
i n%o fVnin millilitres
from 5 to 50 9 —
from 50 to 100 — 4,5
from 100 to 200 4,5 —
from 200 to 300 — 9
from 300 to 500 3 —from 500 to 1 000 — 15
from 1 000 to 10 000 1,5 —
When using the table, the values of the tolerable negative errors shown
as percentages in the table, calculated in units of volume, shall be
rounded up to the nearest one-tenth of a millilitre.
3. INSCRIPTIONS AND MARKINGS
All prepackages made up in accordance with this Directive shall bear on the
package the following markings affixed in such a manner as to be indelible,
easily legible and visible on the prepackage in normal conditions of presenta-
tion:
3.1. the nominal volume of the contents expressed in litres, centilitres or
millilitres and marked in figures at least
6 mm high if the nominal volume of the contents is greater than 100 cl,
4 mm high if it is from 100 cl down to but not including 20 cl,
3 mm high if it is from 20 cl down to but not including 5 cl,
2 mm high if it is not more than 5 cl,1975L0106 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 6

followed by the symbol for the unit of measurement used or where
appropriate by the name of the unit, in accordance with Directive 71/
354/EEC, as last amended by Directive 76/770/EEC;
Until the expiry of the periods laid down in Directive 71/354/EEC, as
amended by Directive 76/770/EEC, the indication of the nominal
volume of the contents expressed in SI units in accordance with the first
paragraph may be accompanied by that of the equivalent value in
imperial (UK) units of measurement, calculated by applying the
following conversion factors:
one millilitre = 0. 0352 fluid ounce
one litre = 1. 760 pints or 0. 220 gallon.
Member States may, where they think it necessary, insist on this second
indication for products put up for sale on their national territories. Mark-
ings in imperial (UK) units shall be in letters and figures of dimensions
not larger than those of the corresponding markings in SI units.
3.2. a mark or inscription enabling the department concerned to identify the
packer or the person responsible for the packing or the importer estab-
lished in the Community;
3.3. a small ‘e’ at least 3 mm high, placed in the same field of vision as the
indication of the nominal volume of the contents, certifying that the
prepackage meets the requirements of this Directive.
This letter shall have the form shown in the drawing contained in Annex
II, Section 3, to Council Directive No 71/316/EEC.
Article 12 of this latter Directive shall apply mutatis mutandis .
However, if the package is a measuring container which complies with
the relevant Directive and if the indication of its nominal capacity is
visible under normal conditions of presentation of the prepackage, it is
not necessary for the purposes of this Directive to indicate the nominal
volume of the contents of the prepackage as required by point 3.1
above.
This shall not, however, be applicable when such nominal volume of the
prepackage differs by an amount of up to and including 0.05 litre from
another nominal volume provided for in Annex III for the same category
of products.
4. RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PACKER OR IMPORTER
The packer or importer shall be responsible for ensuring that prepackages
meet the requirements of this Directive.
The quantity of liquid contained in a prepackage, known as the actual
volume of the contents, shall be measured or checked on the responsibility
of the packer or the importer. The measurement or check shall be carried
out by means of a legal measuring instrument suitable for effecting the
necessary operations.
The check may be carried out by sampling.
Where the actual volume of the contents is not measured, the check carried
out by the packer shall be so organized that the nominal volume of the said
contents is effectively ensured, in conformity with the provisions of this
Directive.
In order to fulfil this requirement, the packer must carry out production
checks in accordance with procedures recognized by the competent depart-
ments in the Member State and if he holds at the disposal of these
authorities the documents containing the results of such checks, in order to
certify that these checks, together with the corrections and adjustments which
they have shown to be necessary, have been properly and accurately carried
out.
Where goods are imported from non-EEC countries, the importer may,
instead of measuring and checking, provide evidence that he is in possession
of all the necessary guarantees enabling him to assume responsibility.
One of the several methods of meeting the measuring and checking require-
ment is to use when making up the prepackage a measuring container of the
type defined in the Directive relating thereto and filled under the conditions
prescribed in this Directive and in that on measuring container bottles.1975L0106 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 7

5. CHECKS TO BE CARRIED OUT BY THE COMPETENT DEPART-
MENTS ON THE PREMISES OF THE PACKER OR OF THE
IMPORTER OR OF HIS AGENT ESTABLISHED IN THE COMMUNITY
Checks to ensure that the prepackages comply with the provisions of this
Directive shall be carried out by the competent departments of the Member
States by sampling on the packer's premises or, if this is not practicable, on
the premises of the importer or of his agent established in the Community.
This statistical sampling check shall be carried out in accordance with the
accepted methods of quality acceptance inspection. Its effectiveness shall be
comparable to that of the reference method specified in Annex II.
Thus as regards the criterion for the minimum acceptable contents, a
sampling plan used by a Member State shall be regarded as comparable
with that recommended in Annex II if the abscissa of the 0.10 ordinate point
of the operating characteristic curve of the first plan (probability of accep-
tance of the batch = 0.10) deviates by less than 15 % from the abscissa of
the corresponding point of the operating characteristic curve of the sampling
plan recommended in Annex II.
As regards the criterion for the mean calculated by the standard deviation
method, a sampling plan used by a Member State shall be regarded as
comparable with that recommended in Annex II if, taking into account the
operating characteristic curves of the two plans having as the abscissa axis
Vn—m
s(1), the abscissa of the 0.10 ordinate point of the curve of the first
plan (acceptance probability of the batch = 0.10) deviates by less than 0.05
from the abscissa of the corresponding point of the curve of the sampling
plan recommended in Annex II.
6. OTHER CHECKS CARRIED OUT BY THE COMPETENT DEPART-
MENTS
This Directive shall not preclude any checks that may be carried out by the
competent departments of the Member States in the course of trade, in parti-
cular for the purpose of verifying that prepackages meet the requirements of
the Directive.1975L0106 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 8

▼M1
ANNEX II
This Annex lays down the procedures of the reference method for statistical
checking of batches of prepackages in order to meet the requirements of Article
3 of the Directive and of Section 5, Annex I thereto.
1. REQUIREMENTS FOR MEASURING THE ACTUAL CONTENTS OF
PREPACKAGES
The actual contents of prepackages may be measured directly by means of
weighing instruments or volumetric instruments or, in the case of liquids,
indirectly, by weighing the prepacked product and measuring its density.
Irrespective of the method used, the error made in measuring the actual
contents of a prepackage shall not exceed one-fifth of the tolerable negative
error for the nominal quantity in the prepackage.
The procedure for measuring the actual contents of a prepackage may be the
subject of domestic regulations in each Member State.
2. REQUIREMENTS FOR CHECKING BATCHES OF PREPACKAGES
The checking of prepackages shall be carried out by sampling and shall be in
two parts:
— a check covering the actual contents of each prepackage in the sample,
— another check on the average of the actual contents of the prepackages in
the sample.
A batch of prepackages shall be considered acceptable if the results of both
these checks satisfy the acceptance criteria.
For each of these checks, there are two sampling plans:
— one for non-destructive testing, i. e., testing which does not involve
opening the package,
— the other for destructive testing, i.e., testing which involves opening or
destroying the package.
For economic and practical reasons, the latter test shall be limited to the
absolutely essential minimum; it is less effective than the non-destructive
test.
Destructive testing shall therefore be used only when non-destructive testing
is impracticable. As a general rule it shall not be applied to batches of fewer
than 100 units.
2.1. Prepackage batches
2.1.1. The batch shall comprise all the prepackages of the same nominal quan-
tity, the same type and the same production run, packed in the same
place, which are to be inspected. The batch size shall be limited to the
amounts laid down below.
2.1.2. When prepackages are checked at the end of the packing line, the
number in each batch shall be equal to the maximum hourly output of
the packing line, without any restriction as to batch size.
In other cases the batch size shall be limited to 10 000.
2.1.3. For batches of fewer than 100 prepackages, the non-destructive test,
where carried out, shall be 100 %.
2.1.4. Before the tests in 2.2 and 2.3 are carried out, a sufficient number of
prepackages shall be drawn at random from the batch so that the check
requiring the larger sample can be carried out.
For the other check, the necessary sample shall be drawn at random
from the first sample and marked.
This marking operation shall be completed before the start of measuring
operations.
2.2. Checking of the actual contents of a prepackage
The minimum acceptable contents shall be calculated by subtracting the
tolerable negative error for the contents concerned from the nominal
quantity of the prepackage.
Prepackages in the batch whose actual contents are less than the
minimum acceptable contents shall be considered defective.1975L0106 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 9
▼M1
2.2.1. Non-destructive testing
Non-destructive testing shall be carried out in accordance with a double
sampling plan as shown in the table below: The first number of
prepackages checked shall be equal to the number of units in the first
sample, as indicated in the plan:
— if the number of defective units found in the first sample is less than
or equal to the first acceptance criterion, the batch shall be consid-
ered acceptable for the purpose of this check,
— if the number of defective units found in the first sample is equal to
or greater than the first rejection criterion, the batch shall be
rejected,
— if the number of defective units found in the first sample lies
between the first acceptance criterion and the first rejection
criterion, a second sample shall be checked, the number of units in
which is indicated in the plan.
The defective units found in the first and second samples shall be added
together and:
— if the aggregate number of defective units is less than or equal to
the second acceptance criterion, the batch shall be considered accep-
table for the purpose of this check,
— if the aggregate number of defective units is greater than or equal to
the second rejection criterion, the batch shall be rejected.

Destructive testing shall be carried out in accordance with the single
sampling plan below and shall be used only for batches of 100 or more.
The number of prepackages checked shall be equal to 20.
— If the number of defective units found in the sample is less than or
equal to the acceptance criterion, the batch of prepackages shall be
considered as acceptable.
— If the number of defective units found in the sample is equal to or
greater than the rejection criterion, the batch of prepackages shall be
rejected.
