On clarification of GOSTs. Glass packaging. Meeting at the Association StekloSouz of Russia

Dear Colleagues!

Glass factories are contacting the Association "StekloSouz" of Russia with a request to clarify the difference in the clauses of the GOST 33205-2014, GOST 30407-2019 standards between the clauses in the GOST 5717.1-2021, GOST 32131-21 standard, relating to decoration and decoration on the surface of cans and bottles .

GOST 33205-2014 contains clause 3.1 decor: Drawing, partial or complete coating applied to the outer surface of bottles.

GOST 30407-2019 contains clause 3.9 decor (decoration): Drawing, partial or complete coating that is applied to the surface.

GOST 5717.1-2021 contains clause 3.16 decor (decoration): A pattern that is applied to the surface of a can/bottle during the formation process.

GOST 32131-2021 contains clause 3.17 decor (decoration): A pattern that is applied to the surface of the bottle during the formation process.

Question: What is considered decor, a pattern obtained during the molding of a jar/bottle during the production (formation) of a glass product, or is decor considered a coating applied to an already received container?

And also explain the changes in the GOST 32671-2020 standard

GOST 32671-2020 contains clause 5.1.30 Banks and bottles are made without decoration on the outer surface.

Question: What was the reason for the appearance of clause 5.1.30 in GOST 32671-2020? There was no such item in the earlier version.

Example:

Is it possible to produce containers in accordance with GOST 32671-2020 with such an ornament as in the picture, will this be considered decor?

⦿ March 19, 2024 The Association "StekloSouz" of Russia held a meeting on this problematic issue, which became relevant as soon as glass factories began to switch to producing glass bottles and jars of various shapes and configurations and call them “souvenir” in their documents.

The meeting was chaired by Viktor Osipov, President of the Association "StekloSouz" of Russia.

In his speech, Viktor Osipov supported the issue of developing a terminological standard for glass packaging.

Decisions have been made. Including:

✔ On the need to create an Art Council in the Association "StekloSouz" of Russia, whose task will be to consider proposals for improving the production of high-quality products and their approval.

✔ Entrust one of the glass container factories with the development of a terminological standard for glass packaging of various shapes and designs for a certain type of closure, type of bottled drinks and packaged food and other products.
