Note: The following types of bottles are excluded from ISO 12818 such as miniatures, small bottles for extracts, essences, small jars (for example, individual portions of jam).
ISO 12818 on standard tolerances for flaconnage is useful for:

Glass packaging provides optimum long-term conservation of the original qualities and virtues of food and beverages. Glass packaging is the safest packaging material for any product.
ISO 12818 provides you with tolerances, specifications and general characteristics for brimful capacity, height, diameter, and width, verticality. The data sheets related to the dimensional tolerances of glass containers.
ISO 12818 guides you in providing excellent packaging made of the sustainable material glass to your customers. These customers will be able to keep their products fresh and safe.
