ISO TR 211:1999 pdf free.Essential oils一General rules for labelling and marking of containers
This Technical Report specifies the general rules for labelling and marking of containers for essential oils to enable identification of the contents.
For the purposes of this Technical Report, the following terms and definitions apply.
process that permits the identification and characterization of the contents of a container by means of a label, a necklace, an inscription, etc., which does not form part of the container
process that permits the identification and characterization of the contents of a container by means of a mark, a stamp or a picture, which forms part of the container
Because labels may be totally or partially destroyed, marking is preferred, particularly for large-volume containers (e.g. barrels, tins).
However, labels may be convenient for small containers which are used to contain reference samples or test samples.
The material from which the labels are manufactured shall be sufficiently durable to withstand the transport conditions.
The labels shall be fixed by means of a process which renders their replacement impossible, as well as prevents their subsequent use for other purposes.
Labelling and/or marking shall bear the following statements:
a) the commercial name of the essential oil, botanical name (Latin name including the botanical authority) of the plant and part of the plant from which it is obtained [4];
b) the name or tradename and the address of the manufacturer or distributor;
c) the production process or any particular treatment (e.g. distllation, fractionation, expression, etc.);
d) the percentage of the main constituent if the commercial value of the essential oil depends on it;
e) the gross mass, tare and net mass; ;
f) the specific conditions of preservation (such as storage temperature)， whether the essential oil has been decanted and the instructions for use;
g) the batch number or the manufacturing date, which provides all information about the origin and the method of production of the essential oil, in case of dispute or nonconformity with the specifications;
h) the country of origin or the provenance;
i) the symbols and the indications of hazards relating to the substance and the indications of the particular risks (following the national or international regulations in force in the countries concerned)[1] [2];
j) the flashpoint for storage, if any, in a place reserved for flammable products;
k) and, for essential oils for human consumption:
一the shelf-life date up until which the essential oil retains all its properties [3];
一if need be, the component or component group content, the addition of which is quantitatively limited in food products, following regulations in force in the countries concerned, or any other indication allowing the purchaser to comply with these regulations.ISO TR 211 pdf download.
