Requirements for resistance to bite forces and moisture vapour transmission requirements to the capacity of the container.

This Part of BS1679 specifies requirements for materials, construction, capacity, neck finish and performance for glass and plastics containers and their closures intended for dispensing solid dosage forms, semi-solids, powders and similar non-liquid pharmaceutical preparations.

Methods of test are included for light transmission, mechanical strength, resistance to bite forces and water vapour transmission.

No requirements are specified for shape or dimensions of containers for solid dosage forms and powders but the shape and proportions of containers for semi-solids are defined.
