These standards came into effect during 2019-2021.

The standards are intended for businesses and organizations that manufacture and use glass bottles and jars.

New standards for neck finishes have been developed taking into account the main provisions of international standards regarding design, dimensions, including thread profile, which will expand the range and increase the competitiveness of glass packaging in the international market.

GOST 32671-2020 “Glass packaging for baby food. General specifications ", meets the goals of standardization to improve the safety control of glass packaging for children.

By order of the Government of the Russian Federation of January 23, 2021 No. 122-r, a plan of the main activities carried out within the framework of the Decade of Childhood for the period up to 2027 was approved, the list of tasks of which includes, inter alia, ensuring the needs of children in high-quality, safe and affordable goods.

At the factories of baby food, strict regulatory requirements are imposed on the packaging of products. Jars and bottles for baby food must be 100% environmentally friendly and economical. These stringent requirements determine the relevance of the development of this standard for glass packaging, the main representatives of which are cans and bottles of various designs intended for packaging and using canned food products, juices and drinks for children.

Enterprises producing tableware should pay special attention to the new interstate standard GOST 30407-2019 “Glassware for food and drinks. General technical conditions ", which came into force on 02/01/2020, replacing the outdated GOST 30407-96. Due to the fact that there are requirements for the toxicity of utensils in contact with food, this standard refers to the new standards GOST R ISO 7086-1 “Glass utensils with a depression, used in contact with food. Isolation of blue bream and cadmium. Part 1. Test method "and GOST R ISO 7086-2" Glass utensils with a depression, used in contact with food. Isolation of blue bream and cadmium. Part 2. Tolerable limits "

With the entry into force of the above standards, companies manufacturing glass packaging and glassware should notify the relevant departments of the company and make changes to the technical documentation.
