1. Product protection: packaging designshall ensure protection of the product, from the point of packaging or filling until its end use, with a view to preventing significant product damage, loss, deterioration or waste. Requirements may consist of protection against mechanical or chemical damage, vibration, compression, humidity, moisture loss, oxidation, light, oxygen, microbiological infection, pest, deterioration of organoleptic properties, etc. and include references to specific Union law setting out requirements on product quality.
1. 产品保护:包装设计应确保从包装或灌装之时起至最终使用阶段,保护产品,防止产品发生重大损坏、损 失、变质或浪费。要求可包括防止机械或化学损伤、振动、压缩、湿度、失水、氧化、光照、氧气、微生 物感染、害虫、感官性质恶化等,并应包括对规定产品质量要求的欧盟相关法律的引用。
2. Packaging manufacturing processes: the packaging design shall be compatible with the packaging manufacturing and filling processes. The packaging manufacturing processes may determine packaging design elements, such as the shape of a container, thickness tolerances, size, feasibility of tooling, or specifications minimising waste in manufacturing. The processes operated by manufacturer of products may also require certain design elements of packaging, such as impact and stress resistance, mechanical strength, packing line speed and efficiency, stability in conveying, heat resistance, effective closing, minimum headspace, or hygiene.
2. 包装制造工艺:包装设计应与包装制造及灌装工艺相兼容。包装制造过程可能决定包装设计的要素,例如 容器形状、厚度公差、尺寸、工具可行性或制造过程中减少废料的规格。产品制造商所采用的工艺也可能 要求包装具备特定设计要素,如抗冲击和应力能力、机械强度、包装线速度与效率、输送稳定性、耐热性 、有效封闭、最小空隙及卫生条件。
3. Logistics: the packaging designshall ensure adequate and safe distribution, transport, handling and warehousing of the packaged product. Requirements may consist of dimensional coordination for optimum space utilisation, compatibility with palletising and de-palletising systems, handling and warehousing system, and packaging system integrity during transport and handling.
3. 物流方面:包装设计应确保包装产品在分销、运输、搬运及仓储过程中的适当性与安全性。相关要求可能
包括尺寸协调以实现空间的最佳利用、与托盘化及去托盘系统的兼容性、搬运和仓储系统的适配性,以及包 装系统在运输和搬运过程中的完整性。
4. Packaging functionality: the packaging design shall ensure its functionality, taking into account the purpose of the product and particularities giving rise to its sale, such as sales for gift purposes, or on the occasion of seasonal events.
4. 包装功能性:包装设计应确保其功能性,充分考虑产品用途及其销售特点,例如作为礼品销售或在季节性 活动期间销售的特殊需求。
5. Information requirements: the packaging design shall ensure that any necessary information regarding the packaged product itself, its use, storage and care, including safety instructions, can be provided to end users. Requirements may include providing product information, instructions for storage, application and use, barcodes and the best before date.
5. 信息要求:包装设计应确保能够向最终用户提供有关包装产品本身及其使用、储存和维护的所有必要信息, 包括安全说明。要求可包括提供产品信息、储存说明、使用和应用指南、条形码及最佳食用日期。
6. Hygiene and safety: the packaging designshall ensure user and consumer safety as well as product safety and hygiene throughout the distribution, end use and disposal of the packaged product. Requirements may include those on safe handling design, child resistance, anti-tamper, anti-theft, anti-counterfeit, hazard warnings, clear identification of content, safe opening device or pressure-release closure.
6. 卫生与安全:包装设计应确保在包装产品的流通、最终使用及处置全过程中,保障用户和消费者的安全,以 及产品的安全与卫生。要求可包括安全操作设计、儿童防护、防篡改、防盗、防伪、危险警示、内容物清
晰标识、安全开启装置或压力释放闭合装置。
7. Legal requirements: the packaging design shall ensure that the packaging and packaged product can comply with applicable law.
7. 法律要求:包装设计应确保包装及包装产品符合适用法律的规定。
8. Recycled content, recyclability and re-use: the packaging design shall ensure reusability, recyclability and inclusion of recycled content as required under this Regulation. If the packaging is intended for re-use, it shall fulfil the requirements laid down in Article 11(1). This means that the packaging weight or volume may have to be increased beyond what would otherwise be possible under the other performance factors in order to enable for example a higher number of trips or rotations, to facilitate inclusion of recycled content or to enhance recyclability (for example when moving to a mono-material or post-consumer recycled content).
Part B
Assessment methodology and determination of the minimum packaging volume and weight
The assessment of the minimum packaging volume and weight necessary to ensure the packaging functionality as described in Article 3(1), point (1), shall be explained in the technical documentation and shall include at least:
(a) the description of the outcome of the assessment, including the details of the calculation of the minimum necessary weight and volume for the packaging; possible variations between production batches for a same packaging shall be taken into account and documented;
(b) for each performance criterion as listed in Part A, a description which explains the design requirement that prevents further reduction of the packaging weight or volume without endangering the packaging functionality, including safety and hygiene, for the packaged product, packaging and user; the method used for the identification of these design requirements shall be described, and the reasons preventing further reduction of the packaging weight or volumeshall be explained; all reduction opportunities with a given packaging materialshall be investigated, such as the reduction of any superfluous layer which does not perform a packaging function; substitution of one packaging material with another shall not be considered sufficient;
(c) any test results, market research or studies that have been used for the assessment conducted under points (a) and (b).
8. 再生含量、可回收性及再利用:包装设计应确保符合本条例规定的再利用性、可回收性及再生含量要求。
如包装用于重复使用,应符合第11条第1款的规定。这意味着包装的重量或体积可能需要超出其他性能因素 下本可实现的范围,例如为了实现更多的运输次数或循环次数,促进再生含量的纳入,或提升可回收性( 例如采用单一材料或消费后再生含量时)。
第二部分
最低包装体积和重量的评估方法及确定 根据第3条第1款第(1)项所述,为确保包装 功能所必需的最低包装体积和重量的评估,应在技术文件中予以说明,并至少包括:
(a)评估结果的描述,包括包装最低必要重量和体积计算的详细信息;应考虑并记录同一包装不同生产批次 之间的可能差异;
(b)针对第一部分所列的每项性能标准,说明设计要求,解释为何在不危及包装功能(包括包装产品、包装 本身及使用者的安全与卫生)的前提下,包装重量或体积无法进一步减少;应描述用于识别这些设计要求 的方法,并说明阻碍进一步减少包装重量或体积的原因;应对特定包装材料的所有减量可能性进行调查, 例如减少任何不具包装功能的多余层;以另一种包装材料替代不得视为充分;
(c)用于根据(a)和(b)项进行评估的任何测试结果、市场调研或研究。
