LACORS - Suite of Documents - Essential Requirements
The British Glass Technical Committee has decided to make public the suite of six documents relating to compliance with the Essential Requirements in EU Directive 94/62/EC and SI 2003 No 1941. The documents, which were produced in compliance with the regulator LACORS (Local Authority Coordinating Body on Regulatory Services) are intended to be used in relation to glass packaging, though certain documents may have relevance for other packaging types. They are freely available to download. An explanatory note describing the intended use of each document is provided.
