Specifies design, dimensions and performance requirements for 275 ml, 500 ml and 1.13 litre capacity bottles.

This British Standard specifies the design and dimensions, neck finish, capacity, internal pressure resistance, verticality, thermal shock resistance, and markings for glass bottles for beer and cider of 275 ml, 550 ml and 1.13 litre nominal capacity intended for multi-trip use as measuring containers. The bottles are designed for a carbonation level not exceeding 3 volumes (6 g of carbon dioxide per litre), measured at 20 °C and 1 bar1) pressure.

Gauges for measuring dimensions, together with methods of test for capacity, internal pressure resistance, verticality, and thermal shock resistance, are also specified.
