Additional requirements for all liquids:

Corrugated containers on multi-unit bundled products must meet the following criteria:
- A box certificate seal exists.
- The product is in a six-sided carton.
- The carton does not give way when medium pressure is applied to any of the sides.
- No side of the carton has an opening that makes some of the contents visible from the outside.
- The contents of the product are securely held in place inside of the carton so they do no roll.
- The carton is sealed with tape, glue or staples.
- The carton has clear markings indicating which side is the top.
The product must not contain hazardous materials.
Each sellable unit must be able to pass a drop test consisting of the following: Items will be dropped three successive times from a height of 125 cm onto a concrete surface, once on the top, once on the corner, and once on either the side or the bottom. A single item must survive a single test (three drops). If the container does not leak, it passes the test. Damage to the container is acceptable.
