- 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.
