This standard is applicable to containers, commonly called measuring container bottles, made of glass, or of any other material that is rigid and stable enough to give metrological results that are as good as those obtained with glass containers, that
- are stoppered or designed to be stoppered, and are intended for the storage, transport or delivery of liquids,
- are of nominal capacity within the range 0,05 L to 5,0 L (inclusive), and
- have metrological characteristics (design characteristics and uniformity of manufacture) such that they can be used as measuring containers, i.e. they can be filled with sufficient accuracy without the need to measure independently the quantity of liquid that is put in them.
