Recommendation data sheets (FS)

Cetie FS Series – Recommendations for Bottlers and Their Suppliers

The FS series includes a collection of recommendation data sheets specifically designed to support bottlers, container manufacturers, and closure system suppliers throughout the bottling process.

Developed by industry experts, these documents provide practical guidance and shared technical knowledge on a wide range of topics, such as:

• Fundamental definitions, calculation methods, and physical principles relevant to packaging design and bottling operations.
• Safety and hygiene requirements, including critical hazard prevention, food safety management, and risk assessments.
• Conformity assessment and certification in line with European directives.
• Good practices for filling lines, storage, traceability, and pressure management in bottles for carbonated and still beverages.
• Headspace specification, tamper-evident finishes, and label application.

The FS series promotes a common language and shared expectations between bottlers and suppliers, complementing Cetie’s quality guidelines. These sheets are essential tools for ensuring consistency, compliance, and product integrity across the packaging and bottling value chain.
