Voluntary Test Methods for PET Bottles

This standardized outline dimensional and physical characterization and performance test methods for PET beverage bottles for use in CSD (Carbonated Soft Drink), Hotfill, and Cold Fill applications. The methods are intended to provide a common framework so that, where possible, testing done by and for various converters, brand owners, material producers, and other involved parties will provide results that are comparable. The use of standardized methods also helps to reduce the number of different test methods that any one lab needs to maintain to serve multiple clients.
