It is important that containers comply with specifications and general industry guidelines in order to withstand the normal stresses and mechanical abuse right though until the end user has finished using it.
GTS uses standard glass industry equipment to test for compliance to relevant guidelines or specifications whether strength, performance or dimensional conformity.
While pressure containers can be tested against guidelines such as British Glass TEC7 specifications (Strength and Performance Standards for the Manufacture and Use of Carbonated Beverage Bottles), our dedicated staff will also be able to give you guidance on appropriate testing for your product, whether it is a perfume bottle or a jam jar.
