- Part 2: Labeling Requirements: Herein lie detailed instructions on how to present information accurately and effectively via labels. The focus is on ensuring that all necessary details are communicated clearly and concisely, avoiding any potential misunderstandings or ambiguities.
- Part 3: Compliance Testing: This section outlines methods for verifying whether packaging complies with the established terminology and labeling requirements set forth in Parts 1 and 2. It includes guidelines on selecting appropriate test specimens, conducting tests under controlled conditions, interpreting results, and reporting findings.
Adherence to these standards is essential not only because they promote accurate communication but also because they help protect consumers by ensuring that critical information about products is easily accessible at a glance. By participating in this service, you can ensure that your organization meets all relevant requirements laid out by ISO 21067.
