ANNEX II

1 . Requirements relating to packaging and preservation The olive oil will be contained in one-litre metal containers coated inside with food-can varnish or which have undergone treatment offering equivalent guarantees, filled to capacity and hermetically sealed. The metal containers in turn will be packed in cardboard boxes containing 20 litres. Any glue used in making up or closing the cardboard boxes must be water resistent. Adhesive tape, if used, must not come unstuck in damp conditions. (a) Resistence to vertical shock : three vertical falls from a height of- one metre. This test is to be carried out in accordance with standards ISO 2248 on three different edges of diffe­ rent trihedrons, the packaging being suspended in such a way that its centre of gravity is vertical from the point of fall. (b) Resistence to minimal compression : 6 000 newtons. This test is to be carried out in accordance with standards ISO 2872 and 2874, the packaging being placed in its normal transportation position. The result of each of these tests is to be evaluated on five complete packages as follows : — the cardboard boxes may be distorted but must remain intact and have no major rips, — there must be no leakage from the metal containers once they have been placed under vacuum. The conformity of the packaging with the above requirements will be certified by an institute of packa­ ging approved by the Member State concerned which will provide a detailed report and a description of the technical characteristics of the components of the packaging. The certificate of conformity will be valid for one year only. 2. Requirements relating to labelling Metal containers that have been printed lithographically and printed cardboard boxes will bear in the language or languages referred to in the notice of invitation to tender the following particulars : (a) the words 'olive oil' ; (b) the words 'Product of the European Community' ; (c) the net contents ; (d) the month and year of manufacture ; (e) the processor's code. These particulars will appear on one side at least of the packagings and will occupy not less than one third of the surface area.
