In order to make it possible, allowing for the usual uncertainties in filling, to measure the volume of the contents of measuring container bottles with sufficient accuracy, and in particular with the accuracy required by the Directives on prepackages, the maximum permissible errors (positive or negative) in the capacity of a measuring bottle container, i.e. the greatest differences permitted (positive or negative) at a temperature of 20 şC and under the control conditions laid down in Annex II, between the actual capacity and the nominal capacity Vn shall be in accordance with the following table:
Da bi ob upoštevanju običajnih negotovosti pri polnjenju omogočili merjenje prostornine vsebine merilnih steklenic z zadostno točnostjo, ter še posebej s točnostjo, ki jo zahtevajo direktive o predpakiranih proizvodih, morajo biti največji dopustni pogreški (pozitivni ali negativni) pri prostornini merilne steklenice, to je največje dopustne razlike (pozitivne ali negativne) pri temperaturi 20 °C in pod pogoji nadzora, podanimi v Prilogi II, med dejansko prostornino in nazivno prostornino Vn v skladu z naslednjo preglednico:
